My subconscious seems to have decided that 'shiny' means 'cool'. Started off in refernce to things that actually were shiny, then anything brightly coloured, and yesterday I applied it to a date. I like old places, and sevral of the Cambridge colleges were founded in the 1300s. I just want to go somewhere where I can say to Americans, "my university is older than your country," or words to that effect. ^_^
So 'shiny' means 'cool'.
