Elfnoodles

“noodle is harcore punk as fricken f***”
“noodle is not a girl you dumbass” (Googlism)

Well, to set the record straight, noodle is a girl. I have a graduate degree in music composition and, when I was living in Arlington, worked for a nonprofit in fundraising. The two are not related but it’s better than doing marketing surveys in the mall.*

I am married to the notorious blogger thudfactor.

I’m not sure exactly why I called my blog “elfnoodles.” However, here are some selections from dictionary.com:

elf:
“A small, often mischievous creature considered to have magical powers.” (American Heritage Dictionary)
“Pertaining to elves; implike; mischievous; weird; also, vacant; absent in demeanor.” (Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary)

noodle:
“To improvise music on an instrument in an idle, haphazard fashion.” (American Heritage Dictionary)

But I still don’t think the dictionaries can beat Googlisms:
“elf is currently not well suited for interactive development of theories”

(the rest of my Googlisms can be found here)

* My college friends were once successfully buttonholed by a guy in the mall who was doing marketing surveys. I can’t remember what he was testing – pomegranate-flavored gum or something like that. As he chattered at them in his dull way they learned that he had a music degree. I have never heard the end of this.
