David Sedaris

David Sedaris the author of such works as ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY and HOLIDAYS ON ICE. His wit, self-deprecating humor and mockery of social conventions are but the few delightful treats you'll find in his work. The true heart of Sedaris seeps through in his oddly endearing tales of self, family and loves. Sedaris is quite possibly one of the greatest writers of our time.
My sister and I pulled a David Sedaris last night when we scrubbed the calcium residue off our parents' shower then proceeded to rearrange their furniture while they were asleep.

Read-Search

A play on the word Research.

The event when students in college are reading for homework, research & essay writing, but gets bored and stops after a certain amount of text, then goes googling things, and/or searching on facebook, youtube, twitter, myspace, etc. Then later return to the reading, only to repeat the process. This extends the time required to get through a reading assignment and often adds hours to the task.
(1)Derek: Hey Sarah, did you finish your essay for the term?

Sarah: No, I tried to write it, but kept getting distracted by read-search. I think I'm going to fail!

(2)
Amy: That article on the human genotypes was so long and boring! Why did the professor assign it?

David: I know! I couldn't read it in one seating without read-searching! It ended up taking hours to finish reading it!

search tangent

When using an online search engine, you see something more interesting that causes you to follow trails unrelated to what you came to search for. Sometimes you forget what you meant to look up in the first place.
Pete: Did you find those instructions on how to make functional battle spears from old rake handles?

Me: Uh, no. Sorry. I went on a search tangent and forgot. But check out these pix of Britney.

Searain

Warrior tank of legend, also known as the Dual Sword Knight; He played the Massive Multiplayer Online RPG "Final Fantasy XI" on Garuda server.
...The second problem involved with me leaving was how the job Warrior was viewed. Searain, the first war in EDI, loves tanking. When I say loves I mean LOVES. If tanking was a woman Searain would be her stalker/Husband/Wife?. This unfortunently seems to have caused the linkshell to think that all wars love to tank...

"He is a salary thief...."
