OK this has been on my mind... and that in itself is fairly random... I am really thinking that the word is a little over used, it's everywhere these days. Not that there's anything wrong with that but isn't there an alternative? I am myself a totally random human being. It all began a long long time ago in a different life, we would have random days where we'd get out there and drive anywhere, take walks, visit new towns, just wander aimlessly, randomly.....
So I have consulted Mr. Thesaurus and here's what I found....
| Main Entry: | random |
| Part of Speech: | adjective |
| Definition: | haphazard, chance |
| Synonyms: | accidental, adventitious, aimless, arbitrary,casual, contingent, designless, desultory, driftless, fluky, fortuitous, hit-or-miss*,incidental, indiscriminate, irregular, objectless,odd, promiscuous, purposeless, slapdash*, spot,stray, unaimed, unconsidered, unplanned,unpremeditated |
| Antonyms: | definite, methodical, particular, specific,systematic I think my favoured words from above are promiscuous.. ooh er!! adventitious and the winner is slapdash... you can't deny a word that starts with slap can you?? So if I do drop any of these words into future posts you will now know where I am coming from. Not that anyone ever really knows where I am coming from but you'll have a general idea. Muchos Besos!!! p.s....spell check has highlighted some of the words from the thesaurus.. hilarious! |

I like that it lists unpremeditated. The combination of un- and pre- is kinda quirky. So I guess it could be considered postmeditated?
i love this! :) happy weekend!
i like fluky. i don't know what it means, but i think it's what i mean by random. :-) and i know i'm an over-user of the word. it just fits...so, so often.
