tell me about it

hucks gave me the letter W!

Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation what the word means to you and why, and than pass out letters to those who want to play along.

Er ok. W is such a weird letter.

1. Wishes
I wish for a lot of things. Happiness. Holidays. Hucks to have given me a different letter.

2. Weiner dog
Yum. Nothing like a good thick German sausage in a bun slathered with mango chutney and ketchup and honey mustard and lots and lots of relish. Ummmmm. Hungry now.

3. Wink
I can’t. I just can’t. My eyes don’t work independently of each other :(

4. Wiggle
As opposed to a diggle, also related to the voles; you would understand only if you’re an avid Xanth fan.

5. Why W?
Because I can’t think of many words that begin with W that mean remotely anything to me.

6. William
England, Prince of. Used to be the cutest prince in my book until his little brother Harry (who’s my age) hit puberty and rapidly overtook ol’ William on the handsome yardstick.

7. Waffles
From Marché, with maple walnut Mövenpick ice cream and either banana caramel or mixed berry toppings, slathered with maple syrup and cinnamon sugar. I’m getting a delightful sugar high and the first twinges of diabetes just happily thinking about this.

8. Wikked Lil’ Grrls
Gorgeous track by Esthero.

Wikked lil’ grrls, kissed the boys and made them cry
Raisin’ double trouble every time we pass them by
And some might say we’re wikked lil’ grrls
With curves and kissers and pearly whites
You better keep an eye on your boys and lock em up tight

9. Warcraft
Oooh. It is a good day to die. All your base are belong to me. The memories, the memories.

10. Wig
What I had to wear to convincingly take on the role of Samantha/Sam, the drag queen I played in my monologue for hall production last year. *shudder*

Hokay that’s it. Leave a comment if you want a letter.

This episode brought to you by the letter ‘W’.

From hucks! 

My ex is gay.

Maybe I should go on a diet of potato chips.

I love Giuseppe pumpkin soup *wistful*.

I don’t understand why dreams are so elusive.

I lose control of reality once in awhile.

People say I look older than I really am.

Love is drugged and catatonic.

Somewhere, someone thinks I’m ugly.

I will always have hope.

Forever is on God’s wristwatch, not mine.

I never want to get my heart broken again.

I think the current US President should eat more pretzels.

When I wake up in the morning, I go back to sleep.

My past doesn’t matter, God took my sins.

I get annoyed when people walk slowly in front of me.

Parties are for alcohol consumption (always in moderation, children).

My dog is not my dog anymore.

My cat is missing, presumed dead, and I wish she’d come home.

Kisses are something I miss very much.

Tomorrow won’t come any faster or slower.

I really want my dreams to come true.

I have low tolerance for people who betray love and loved ones.

You are a GRAMMAR GOD!

Congratulations! If your mission in life
is not already to preserve the English
tongue, it should be. You can smell a
grammatical inaccuracy from fifty yards.
Your speech is revered by the underlings,
though some may blaspheme and call you a
snob. They’re just jealous. Go out there
and change the world.

How grammatically correct are you? (Revised with answer key)

I’m most peeved that I didn’t score 100% on Expert.  I wonder what I could have gotten wrong.  Grrr.

A whole bunch of us were simultaneously afflicted this month, so we decided to compile a whole list and litany of complaints that accompany our periods!  Because men don’t understand or appreciate what we go through every month.  Grrrr.  Men: a little sympathy goes a long way, because PMS DOES EXIST.

1) Cramps, cramps, and cramps
2) Backaches and headaches
3) Mood swings, depression
4) Sore boobs
5) Diarrhoea
6) Pimple outbreaks
7) Blood, blood and blood
8) Chafing and rashes from pads (tampons yay!)
9) Water retention, bloating
10) Extra fatigue and tiredness
