But then again, don't mark my word for it. It could easily be a case of one Chooey's migraine, another human's indulgence. I am sure that if you are some society high-flyer who enjoys life superficialities, then hellllooooo darrrllleeennnggg! You've found home. But oh yes, don't forget to engage yourself an in-house lawyer and insure yourself just a couple of millions. Hearsay, one will get sued off their assets with a little accidental bump (as in car hits human, regardless the reason or the severity of the accident) down Sunset Boulevard. Sounds like a promising world to live in eh?
I wonder... will I get sued for the things that I write. Let's see what can I get sued for? My overdue credit bill and my perpetually broke bank balance? No assets to my name either. That's the advantage of being a nobody. I doubt anyone will really bother to read past the first paragraph of my writings. And oh... I'm no PSC scholar either so I doubt again that I will be issued warnings of misconduct. Ahhh... the comfort of being a nobody in a nowhere land.
The scope of this topic is so vast that I will probably need to write it in chapters. But before anyone thinks that this is a some literary attack on the U.S. nation, I beg to differ. U.S. already has a comic geniuses to the likes of Michael Moore ("Stupid White Men") and Howard Stern to do a much better job than I will ever be deemed capable of. That's why note the topic : NationS with a S. It is just another incessant blabber of the Economy Class Frequent Traveller (company paid mind you) living in her hermit obscure world of unrealistic escape away from this superficial demented world.
If anyone actually managed to get your eyes to this point. I'm impressed. You can always feel free share your opinions and/or bash the living daylights out of me.... except spare me any form of statistics. I'm female. My mental capacity eludes numbers.
Definition of Plastic
(extracted from Merriam-Webster dictionary)
Pronunciation: 'plas-tik
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin plasticus of molding, from Greek plastikos, from plassein to mold,
1 : FORMATIVE, CREATIVE
2a : capable of being molded or modeled
3 :
4 : made or consisting of a plastic
5 : capable of being deformed continuously and permanently in any direction without rupture
6 : of, relating to, or involving plastic surgery
7 : having a quality suggestive of mass-produced plastic goods; especially : ARTIFICIAL 4 <plastic smiles>
Don't we love modern day dictionaries?
My absolute favourite - definition #6!
Hilarious!
Don't they cover everything!
Well, almost..... just one key element -
8 : of, relating to, or involving CREDIT CARD - a neccessity item that has evolved to become a vanity accessory to add flavour to wallets. Usually comes in three colours - Blue (Broke but better than nothing), Gold (Getting there) and Platinum (Please marry me?).
(Small prints : Warning! Credit cards company should not be held responsible for any health hazards, i.e. heart attacks, especially when bill comes through the post at the end/beginning of the month and/or when one views bill online)
Ok, ok.... I know... this should be under definition #4... but hey! Is there any stipulation that I have to politically correct here? It is, afterall, a must-have item in today's definition. And since they define everything, might as well throw this in for free.
Isn't it amazing how a simple word like 'plastic' can bring about so many definitions and its application to our daily lives. I wonder when I will complete my personal thesis on Plastic Nations... but at least one thing for sure, it will keep me busy for the rest of this week.
Good entertainment whilst watching tennis.
Oh yes. I forgot.
I'm female.
Natural born ability to multi-task.
