Nephelococcygia
Oddly enough I was talking into playing one of those facebook games by a friend-- and she had suggested "Cityville" telling me I would love it, so of coarse I followed suit and created a city. I started it up and it began teaching me the basic use of the interface and soon before I knew it I was being asked to name my little town, and to me I'm the type that likes to make more out of things than need be so I wanted a name for my town that was a synonym for a Utopia. As I usually do-- I googled for some, and one of the words that came up was Nephelococcygia. Instantly I had misread it as Necrophilia at a quick glance and then decided to look up the words actual meaning as it looked more like the name of a bacteria than for a utopia-- and to my surprise its the proper name for cloud watching. And now it is the name to my happy little town, I just feel attached to the word now ever since. It's almost like the word puts up a big front, looking all technical and long but its meaning is so simple, and care free. To be honest I have no idea why my first blog post is about me naming my cityville town this... I just felt like it was the most significant thing that's happened to me lately-- does that say a lot about me? I'm doomed from the first post.
