Neologism of the day: Polylimia

[elfs]

Polylimia (n). To binge on dates, meet-ups, get-togethers, and parties until you realize you have no time left to yourself, at which point you purge your calendar. Repeatedly.

Oh, that is brilliant!

I'm afraid that I have had a problem with polylimia before.

Sounds hauntingly... familiar.

I am polyimic.. is there a colorbar or a support community for that?

[ambar.livejournal.com]

Guilty as charged.

Is it original to you? Google has no references for that term.

It is. I came up with it Wednesday while I was at a local amusement park with a bunch of poly friends and one of them described the way his calendar just seemed to get thicker and thicker until there was no time left for himself, and he'd probably just take November off or something. The word just kinda popped into my head.

Appologies for being completely and utterly off topic, but I just had to state that the icon above an amazingly gorgeous picture. :)

Heh its definitely something I used to do, though not all of my own design (part of living in a household full of social people while not being one yourself I guess). ;) Great term, I wouldn't be surprised if it hits most everyone I know who is poly a wee bit close to home, its an interesting commonality. ^_^

What color would the ribbon be? Something, er, swirly at the beginning, tapering off to a calm blue at the other end, with just a hint that the swirl begins again.

I like swirls

Even better, is there a meeting of polyimic people you can go to in order to discuss your problem with people who have similar issues? ;->
