foofaraw

yes, Dictionary.com "Word of the Day" email. i know you know what you're talking about. but i think you've gone to far this time. and i just don't believe you. foofaraw is simply a made up word. sure, you can argue that EVERY word is a made up word. but just because you're Dictionary.com doesn't mean you can take the liberty of making up your own words, defining them, and posting them on your site. it's just not ethical.



it's a little bit insulting that you think i'm that gullible. next, you're going to tell me that kerfuffle is a real word!

dammit, Max Barry!

i just read this short story and i haven't felt impacted like that in a while! not since the HP series i think. i got really caught up! it doesn't end how you'd expect. really good!

fall, dating, B2.0

this morning was the first morning that i could use a blanket! soon i'll be wearing sweaters and hoodies, wrapping myself in scarves, crunching leaves beneath my feet, and sitting beside open fires! ...okay, so not fires so much as computer screens, but those can be pretty exciting, too.

fall IS my favorite season, so i'm super-happy that the weather is cooling down (despite it having taken FOREVER to warm up). plus, my mom makes her famously delicious lasagna every fall. so i'll be doing my happy dance now till November!

i'll also be watching B2.0. first to last. because i haven't before. i've watched the first two weeks and now i can't believe i didn't start watching sooner! i get it now! i totally understand why everyone loves them so much. (as of now i'm at Jan. 25th)

also, i'm giving this a try (why not, i suppose):



i guess it can't hurt. i hope it can't hurt.

picture show

here are some pictures i've taken. they're in chronological order... i think.

Socrates and eternal love

back in 1989, i was a mere 5 yrs. old. i enjoyed making mud pies, performing soap operas with my Jem dolls, perfecting my penmanship, and playing Socrates.

i'm gonna go ahead and say that this was the inception of my nerdom.**

i haven't thought about this game for YEARS! that is, until putting this into my car's cd player:


i - was - ELATED! all those happy hours learning my states and kicking ass at spelling! *satiated sigh* good times, good times.

in conclusion, i will love Lord Alex Day (no seriously, that's his legal name!) forever because he opened and closed the first song of his album with Socrates audio clips.

that song, as well as the rest of the album, is pretty good, too. you can check that out here if you'd like.


**this is obviously a blatant lie. i was CLEARLY born a nerd. i mean, i enjoyed perfecting my penmanship. i ENJOYED it!

--UPDATE-- 2009/10/03
the spazzy Daily Booth pic i took after opening my CD. taken from my phone- in the car:


it took embarrassingly long to get a shot i liked. then i was able to move on and go to the store for my mom and brother- whilst blasting Parrot Stories.

antisocial

i like talking to people from here



more than i like talking to people irl.



i'm leaning towards the school of thought that there's nothing wrong with me and that everyone i know sucks.

but i'm open minded. however unlikely the theory may be, i'm open to the idea that i could be wrong.

-oh, nothing.

i don't really have anything to say, so i'm gonna make another "weird shit i saw and took a picture of with my phone" series. let the weirdness begin!


it's a bit blurry, but there's a man with a fish slung over his shoulder. a giant fish. it's cherry flavored cod liver oil. i don't know about you, but that sounds way grosser than regular cod liver oil!


i don't know what it is, but it's whipped, and you can buy it for $2.98. a bargain for mystery whip, i'd say!


i'm not having any of your poison cocoa, lady! every time i see this i wonder how many victims this lady has claimed.


it only looks like dog food. it's people food. they promise.


this sign was posted in my the exam room of my doctor's office...

and here's the only thing that was in the room. there's at least an inch of dust gathered on that stuff. unless the sign is referring to the canister of cotton swabs across the room? i'm pretty imaginative, and i just can't think of anything dangerous to do with those things.


it's a sad world where this is the way you advertise. what's even sadder is it's probably really effective.


this is what it would look if you received a package from Voldemort. MAC Makeup is clearly run by death eaters.


i just like the can design.


i just like the composition. i stumbled upon it quite randomly.

torn

okay. i think i'm addicted to the drama that is blogging. as much as i hate to admit it, i'm a Nerimon fangirl. kind of. i don't wanna jump his bones or anything, i just like his creativity.

so today, his girlfriend's blog was suggested to me by Google Reader. i figured why not. i end up reading about how Nerimon broke Kristina's heart.

now i feel kinda bad that i pre-ordered his album.

and i had to check that this --> blog post didn't coincide with the dumping. that would suck!

ok, i'm done talking about my creepy, nerd-stalking obsession.

internet = epic fail

i was in the mood to write a happy blog today. i was going to write about how wonderful the world is and why life is sweet. i was going to write about how inspired i am and how much i love people.


but then i opened my browser and saw things like this



and this



and this!



so - i'm very sorry - but that's just not gonna happen today.

-and so starts September.
