Love the video...what can I do this week to be outlandish? I think I'll leave someone a big fat tip the first chance I get. I'll leave it with a smiley face on the napkin! Katie,

People think weird is bad too. Weird and outlandish aren't bad they are the bread and butter of marketing. Because what gets out attention is what we remember. We need to embrace these words and not be afraid of them because they have such grand power. When I think of the word outlandish the word weird has this same connotation.

I majored in Classical Studies/Latin in college. And I agree whole-heartedly that outlandish is getting a bad rap. I am very excited that you are taking definitions and throwing them right into people's faces to truly contemplate "what" we are saying when we speak/write/etc. Words have taken on our pre-conceived notions, been completely corrupted from their original beautiful meaning. Take 'em on girl! PS - Could you also tackle success...I feel this is one of the WORST offenders! I didn’t know you were an etymology buff too?! I majored in Classical Studies/Latin in college.

Outlandish (adj): Mind-and-awareness-expanding person, thing or experience that awakens the playful child in us. Now, as for what I'd like to do that's outlandish... I'm not sure I can talk about it here without a parental guidance rating that's just above a PG-13! (smile) Have a great weekend! Hi, Katie!

So often people limit life by labeling things as being good or bad which never makes any sense to me. Life is short and has to be lived to the fullest. Of course, I have been accused of being outlandish because I just do not believe in the impossible. So if not believing in limits is outlandish...than I am happy to be outlandish. :) Hi Katie,

For some reason, I kind of like the words "freakishly" and "bizarre". Hmmm, I wonder what that means? So, this makeover: how about bordering on crazy, with a whole bunch of wow, and a heap of fun! Where's outlandish in my life? Well...there's definitely something that qualifies as outlandish in the works. It's not ready for primetime yet, we're probably a couple of weeks out. Let's just say, if it goes as planned, there'll be video... And speaking of video - I love the gibberish singing!! Alrighty, Katie -
