Ebullient is one of my favorite words, and if you know me at all, you'll know it's apropos.

I've frequently used ‘ebullient' as my IRC nick, and as women are (unfortunately still) not very common in open source IRC chat rooms, I was amused when someone referenced me as "eh-bull-i-ain't". Also, apropos.

From the dictionary (m-w.com, dictionary.com) :

e·bul·lient
adj.

1. zestfully enthusiastic.
2. boiling or seeming to boil; bubbling.
3. joyously unrestrained [syn: exuberant, high-spirited]

1. BOILING, AGITATED
2. characterized by ebullience

• ebul·lient·ly adverb

What's up with the icons?

The little tiny moon is a favicon I remember slaving over with MS Paint or some ridiculous thing back in the stone ages. I think I used it on scrappy websites that I made here and there, they were definitely present and accounted for in the 2006 yellow diamond phase. Just looking at that makes me feel silly and helps me rememeber how invested I was in learning and trying out .. everything .. when all of this was new. That's why I keep the icons around.
