Binomial swinginclature and other things

I am currently eating my homemade vegetarian chili and pondering binomial swinginclature. Sometimes at a swing venue I do not dance every song. You may wonder what I do when I do not dance. The answer: binomial swinginclature. This is a system of classifying swing dancers according to 1) how good they think they are and 2) how good they really are.

There are three possible classifications:
1) rock star: a really good dancer, or one who thinks he/she is a really good dancer
2) non-rock star: a not-so-good dancer, or one who does not recognize his/her skill
3) semi-rock star: an okay dancer, or one who thinks they dance so-so

So, because this is BInomial swingclature, everyone gets two names. As mentioned above, the first name is how good you think you are, and the second is how good you really are.

For example, if there is a dancer who thinks he/she is the best thing ever, but is really only okay at dancing, they would be considered a "rock star-semi-rock star." If there was a dancer who doesn't think they are very good, but they actually are amazing, they are a "non-rock star-rock star." This classification is always subject to change of course.

Okay that's enough swinginclature. Thursday I had a lovely symphony practice, and Friday I had a concert, which went well. Dave took his last CPA exam Friday, and I am glad that is probably over (we don't know if he passed). Saturday we went to the art car show downtown and it was a lot of fun. We saw some pretty wild cars. I wish I had pictures.

Monday I got a lot done, including continuing my hunt for a job. Today the game plan is much the same. I ran 5 miles this morning. Next up: practicing flute, working on Sunday school lesson, making a menu for the rest of the week and getting the food for the menu, looking for jobs, reading John Robbins' Food Revolution, and volunteering at an interfaith second-hand store.

Surprisingly I am unemployed but I am definitely occupied. But for the next few weeks if I post my daily comings and goings, it will look like the same thing every day. Therefore, I will dedicate my next few posts to the requested "Basic nutrition for dummies." and "Western vs. Eastern medicine" among other things.

*channeling the inner Napoleon*... Yeeeeesssss!!!
Can't wait to tune in!

Also, the swingingclature is pretty clever. Is it universal terminology?

What about somebody who thinks he/she is really great, is decent in reality, but everybody else thinks is marvellous? Would that be a rockstar-semi-rockstar-rockstar?
I got your letter today! I will write back soon!

VD: swinginclature is not universal, in fact only we know about it. So don't go out dancing and ask someone if they are a rock star or a non-rock star, etc. They will give you a rather confused look.
Lizzy: Yes, absolutely, but that would be trinomial swinginclature. lol.
