EFFLUVIA (pl. of effluvium).
Effluvium:
1. A flowing out, an issuing forth; a process or manner of issuing forth. (Obs.).
2. Chiefly applied to the (real or supposed) outflow of material particles too subtle to be perceived by touch or sight; concr. a stream of such outflowing particles. a. gen. (obs.). b. A stream of minute particles, formerly supposed to be emitted by a magnet, electrified body, or other attracting or repelling agent, and to be the means by which it produces its effects. Chiefly pl. (Now only Hist.; but it probably survived the theory which it strictly implies.) Also fig.; c. An �exhalation� affecting the sense of smell, or producing effects by being received into the lungs. In mod. popular use chiefly a noxious or disgusting exhalation or odour.

This website takes its name from the above word, "effluvium," or rather the plural of that word, "effluvia." I leave it up to you to decide which sense of the word applies most correctly to this here page. My little page really doesn't have much of an agenda. It exists only to provide you, the reader, with some sort of diversion from your daily life, and to provide me with something to do (when I'm not busy as hell). You may explore my life, through the blog below (which I've written it into the page itself), or peruse the other pages of Effluvia through the links below:
The Effluvious Links Page
The Oh-So Effluvious Past Bloggies Page
The Effluvious Books Page
The Effluvious Movies Page
The Effluvious Music Page
The Not-So Effluvious Houdini Page
There's still much work to be done on this site, as it progresses from mere homepage into something more and better. However, I hope you enjoy my website anyway, for whatever it's worth. Now, carry on!

-Well, whaddya know? It's almost Christmas already! Thank-goodness I'm pretty much done shopping! Yet I'm still volunteering for this charity Gift-Wrap project for my Circle K Volunteer Club tomorrow and the next day, so "woo-hoo"--and I suck at wrapping gifts!

-My my, how the time's gone by! It's already Thanksgiving weekend (here in Canada, anyway), and I FINALLY have a few spare moments for this website. Of course, I'm way behind on readings and have three assignments due next week, and I've barely begun doing all the work I should be doing, but I want a day off so bad! :( Anyway, I'm running on 4 hours sleep right now, and there's a big day ahead of me tomorrow, with church and homework and Thanksgiving dinner (with Bison roast instead of turkey this year--???). So, farewell for now. Next time I write, the oldest entry will be bumped off into the old blogs page, b/c I'm only allowing a max. of three bloggies to appear at a time on this page. Now, g'bye already!

-Ah, finally, a day off from work! Again, I stayed up WAY too late last night, playing stupid Real Arcade games. I really ought to delete that Real Arcade program---such a waste of time, especially when I don't have a credit card with which to purchase such games! But I at least vacuumed the house a bit today, and that's something productive! Hmmm...so what do you (out there) think of my website? Sign my guestbook, and tell me. So far I've got one entry from myself, and one from my Dad. But don't sign it TOO much; I don't want it to become overloaded!...Well, not much else happened today, so I guess I'll sign off for now. If you're reading this Meghan, thanks for the e-mails about your website. Your website is AWESOME...much more so than mine. I might even put a link on this page for you. Of course, it isn't really YOUR website, it's a paranormal one, but you DID design it and all, so I'll give you the credit. ;) Anyway, without further ado, I'm off to edit this page and other pages some more, and continue enjoying my day off...

-Well, I've finally made some real improvements to this website. It's still nowhere near finished, but I do what I can. Hopefully before the summer ends, I'll have it up and running. I'd better have it up and running by then, because when the school year begins, I won't have much time for any modifications to this site, short of new blog entries every now and then. If you're wondering who I am, I'm a (nearly) fourth-year student of English at the University of Alberta, Canada, who likes to volunteer, read, watch movies and listen to music (not necessarily in that order). I also have ambitions to be a published author someday, but whether that ever happens is another question entirely. People are always asking me what I'm going to do after I graduate. Well, besides getting published, I'll probably take a year off to work, start paying back my student loan, move out of my parents' house (finally), and after I've had enough of this "time off", I might pursue a Masters degree in English, and maybe even a PhD, so I can be a professor. But, we'll have to see about all that...plans could very well change.
My Bloggie! (Why "bloggie"? I dunno, it just sounded cute. ;) Perhaps oneday I'll link this page to my real blog, at LiveJournal.com (www.livejournal.com/users/redheaded_1/), but until then, here's a slight glimpse into my life thru the "bloggie" below:

I did a very stupid thing today. I was going to take off the eye-makeup which I forgot to take off last night, but I haven't worn any makeup in awhile, so I forgot what I'd used to take makeup off before. Instead of reaching for the baby oil, however, I reached for the Cutex, a nail polish remover. I didn't even look at the label, for Christ's sake! But I knew something was wrong when I put a dab of the stuff on my eyelids, because I immediately felt a powerful stinging sensation. Thank goodness I thought to flush my eye out with water right then, or I might have burned my eyelids, or even my cornea! After a bit of water to the eye I was fine again, though it stills feels a bit dry and sore. So kids, remember, ALWAYS READ LABELS (especially when you're reaching for something in the medicine cabinet)! And if you can't read labels, my warnings are of no use to you anyway. And I thought only my Dad did stupid things like that! He has a habit of not reading the labels of things he buys from the store. Not that he's stupid, of course. He could very well be a genius, but nevertheless, he's still a man :)
