But I have a question. I just read the word "quixotic" in another LJ post. Is there a reason why you guys suddenly all use this?
Partly, I guess, because it's one of the 'moods' and it's only once in a blue moon that anyone can ever use it. I mean, no one really understands why THAT was chosen as a mood. It comes from Don Quixote, and the Cambridge Dictionary defines it thus:

'having or showing ideas that are different and unusual but not practical or likely to succeed.'

Does that help?
