Greetings! After many nudgings and nosings about, I've finally taken the (ow, hey, okay!) advice of friends and acquired a LJ account.

In all honesty, I'm not a big one on journal-writing. We'll see if this changes over the next few months. For reasons that'll I'll expound upon soon, I do need to build up such skills; it'd help with one of the many paths I've got in front of me to choose from right now.

Welcome aboard, then. I'm only partway through this long study -- even though I've a long way to go, it's not too early to start musing upon what I've seen.

Thank you for the correction! :-) But are you sure I used the wrong word?

The American Heritage Dictionary says that 'prodigal' means 'rashly or wastefully extravagant' or 'giving or given in abundance.' It says that 'prodigious' means 'impressively great in size, force, or extent; enormous' or 'extraordinary, marvelous.'

I think I meant to use a word which conveys a sense of someone who writes journal entries often and at length. So the journal entries would be prodigious, but the one who writes them would be prodigal?

Wow. You know, I never thought of it that way.

Cool. I learned something new. Thanks.

But I still don't think Tug's "prodigal." I always find myself wanting to read more... :)

I agree! Thank you for helping me nudge him here!

And also thank you for making me think! :-)
