so uuhhhh yeah

outre oo-TRAY, adjective:

Unconventional; eccentric; bizarre.

This seven-year-old house of outre culture is the kind of place you can shop for a sculpture made out of working flamethrowers, videocassettes of underground movies, computer-generated art or a cute robot --David Sturm, "Berlin's Green Man, Running for Life," Washington Post, June 14, 1998

The area is tamer than in its bohemian heyday, but the outre spirit survives. --Brian C. Mooney and Rosemary Lappin, "Galleries of the Gods," Boston Globe, August 25, 1996

McCarthy cast herself as the rule breaker, the outre intellectual woman who emerged from an eccentric and rebellious past. --Ann Hulbert, "Keeping Score," New York Times, October 26, 1997

Unless you head for Harajuku, the heart of hip, where being outre is a requirement. Harajuku is home to Raggedy Ann wannabes, Elvis impersonators and Japanese punks, all turned out to attract attention. --Stephanie Strom, "Tokyo," New York Times, September 26, 1999

Outre comes from French, from the past participle of outer,"to exaggerate, to go beyond," from Latin ultra, "beyond."

Synonyms: bizarre, far-out, outlandish, strange, unconventional.

i have secured a room for next year. that would be 426 in the True House. boo-yah

here is some stuff that has been happening in the last few days:

random guy at lunch says, "You look like cash money today. You don't look like a bunch of white wanna be's"

my roomate, jessn, winced in pain while crumpling 1 piece of looseleaf into a ball.

"i yawned and i got spit on my paper and now it is smearing the ink..." - jessn

after i asked how jessn would feel if i dyed my hair blue she said,"Jess, i feel like if you dyed your hair blue, it would be really blue b/c you have a lot of hair"

my friend was folding these warm-up pants that just came out of the dryer and they shocked me like a door handle on my right breast. ow!
