Paraventure 

An extremely boring and poorly constructed paragraph about a personal adventure. Often peppered with internet acronyms such as "LOL" in an effort to raise the interest levels from absolute zero to just above.

A badly thought through personal bloggers paragraph about their latest "adventure". Often so boring as to appear only 2-3 times after telling everyone they've started a personal blog then to disappear into the void following a complete lack of interest from peers and friends. In some cases paraventures can lead to premature death from loneliness or worse, facebook defriending and social network rejection or "hiding" by peers.

Paraventure's are typically about as mentally stimulating as the feeling in ones legs after the spinal chord has been severed just above the waistline.
Day 1: Today I started my blog!! Yay!! Aren't cat's great ?

Day 2: Put away my socks after too on in the dryer. Urgh! Static made it slightly harder to fold them properly. Mum helped me out tho but its a bit embarrassing that I still live at home LOL! Note to self: must get a job and move out! LOL!

Day 3: Can't think of anything interesting so I'll just post a link to something out of a newpaper about cat food and the latest hollywood pet trend about newts. LOL !

Day 4: Here's a picture of a kitten I found. Isn't it cute!

Day 5: Blog hits are doing down. Thinking of starting another one. Any ideas ? LOL ? Anyone ?

Day 6: Noticed I've been defriended by most of my facebook chums. Urgh! LOL!!

Day 17: This is John's mum. He hasn't been around for days. If anyone knows his whereabouts please comment here.

Day 45: This is John's mum again. Did John have any friends or tell anyone he was going away ? We're really worried!! What does LOL mean ?

Day 56: FS! Jailbroken Iphone 4 Only $25.69 see www.tinyurl.ccc/28h3h/zeus/hack! FREE STUFF! LIMITED OFFER!

Day 2405: This blog has been terminated due to redirections to malicious malware sites.

The flip side: the rest of society:

Paraventure's are great aren't they? It keeps the bores off the street and out of the pubs as they cook up their next mind numbing paraventure. Keep wifi out of pubs campaign 2011: no proto-novellists, bloggers, or people who dont want to converse in person thank you. Anyone fancy a pint ?

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
