Wordy Birdy.

And bloggier than ever! In fact, I am SO bloggy right now I am making up adjectives to describe my blogginess!

I'm blogger-rific!

I'm blogtastic!

I'm bloggermanical!

I'm bloggerphilial!

I'm bored!


Yup, I am bored. Summer has just started, but I've had surgery on my foot(for reasons I will not delve into), I can't move anywhere efficently. So I am stuck here until it heals. So I am posting now. All it took was a foot. (If this post gets out of control, blame the vicodin)

With life taking a new "non-busy" kind of style, I suppose I should get back to my bloggermanical roots. I am not going to apologize for not posting frequently. That's not my style. Instead, I am going to dazzle you with my witty and flamboyant writing style! Dazzle! Sparkle! Jazz hands!

While you are dazzled, I am going to pick a clever topic to write about today. Just let me reach into my nifty Bag of Topicals...

(Esther reaches into her bag of tricks..)

Bingo! Today's topic is "Words". And what a good topic to be talking about folks. I mean seriously, who doesn't like words?

(Some idiot raises his hand)

Except that guy. He doesn't count.

IDIOT: Aw..

Anyway, I have always loved words. My family loves them too. We love words so much that we even make some up and use them almost as often as real words. Some people get a little confused when we use our new words, and then think we are insane. Sometimes we borrow fake words from television shows, or mix real words together. Sometimes we just take real words and give them a new meaning. Either way, over the years our bizarre fake-word and odd phrases have built up into something I like to call the P. Family Dictionary. The PFD is a collection of every single unique word that has come to be in our family. I made it a couple years ago and I dare say it has expanded into something pretty large. And, being the kind folk that I am, I have decided to share my words with you. Any questions?

IDIOT: May I have a word?

Sure, which one?

IDIOT: I think this is stupid and a waste of internet space-

I didn't mean it like that, fool.

So here are some words just for you!


T H E P F D.

(I L I K E T O D O U B L E S P A C E B E C A U S E I T L O O K S C O O L.)


First word:


FADOODLE(Fah-doo-dul)VB.

The act of messing around without any purpose; screwing up; just being foolish.

ORIGIN: Esther used this word when she saw someone being dumb on Halo.

EXAMPLE: "Robert fadoodled when he left his teammate to die on the battlefield."


2nd word:

PIE( PUH-EYE)N.

Something that is super awesome, but also something you don't necessarily like.

ORIGIN: Unknown.

EXAMPLE: "I LIKE PIE!"


3rd word:

MEANER (Prounounced, MEEEN-ERR) N.

Somebody that is mean; a jerk.

ORIGIN: When Esther was too lazy to think of a decent comeback, she resorted to using this word.

EXAMPLE: "You ate my pie!?" "Yup. Are you going to say something clever in response?" "You're a meaner!" "Um, okay..."


4th word

FIDGE(correct spelling unknown) (FIH-DGE)

A word to replace other words such as "is" and "was". Usually used when fronted with a cuteness overload. The word "be" is often used after it.

ORIGIN: Some other awesome family.

EXAMPLE: "That guy fidge be a meaner!"


And there you have it! I am sure you are feeling privileged and happy right now.

IDIOT: Not really...

Wasn't talking to you.

Well, hope you enjoyed this as much as I have. Until next time.

Huzzah!

I just finished my AP world history test! Huzzah! I am sure that you are wanting every last detail, from the types of questions to the way I answered them.

Well, tough luck! Ha. Ha. I can't do that. I have been forbidden from sharing any aspect about the tests questions until the results come out this July, or face be disqualified. Dum dum dum! However, I can say that I had a good experience with the whole thing, and while I am glad it is over, I am glad I did it.

I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, except for the whole heart thumping out of my chest thing. There were a lot more people there than I thought would be. There must have been about thirty five there. I was only expecting around fifteen, good ole ignorant me. I had to sign stuff, agree to some stuff, then I took the test.

Aaaah!

Actually, it wasn't that bad. I think I did pretty well on the multiple choice timing wise because I finished each of the seventy questions ten minutes left. I'm feeling pretty confident in that area. But geez, essays are stressful! I've never had to manage my own time with writing essays before, but I managed to finish two within the time limit alotted. As for the Document Based Question, well...

It sucked. But I managed to get a decent thesis out there and mentioned all of the documents. I didn't have time to write a conclusion though. Overall, I had a good time. When it was all over I felt pretty proud of what I had done. But you know when you get nervous and your mind starts to wander a bit? Well, lets just say that I was reflecting back on the answers I had picked and I thought for no reason at all about cookies. So now there is a stupid song I made up stuck in my head that I like to call, "The Redundant Cookie". The lyrics kind of go like this:

I had a cookie,
and it tasted real good.
good it tasted
the flavor of it was good
good was the flavor of the cookie..
do you know how good it tasted
well, it tasted real good...

THE COOKIE IT TASTED, IT TASTED, IT TASTED
REAL GOOD!

THE COOKIE IT TASTED, IT TASTED, IT TASTED
REAL GOOD! (x100,000)

I am a little annoyed with my genius song skills right now. But anyway, I am happy. And thank you to all the people that wished me luck. Until next time!

Hey, it's May!

Look, it's the new month!

Well, I suppose it isn't so new anymore. It's like the ninth or something right? *Checks calendar* -Crud, it's the tenth. I hate it when I lost track of the days. I can say in my defense though that I am mentally tired and nervous at the same time, so that gives me the reason to do forget the date for the world in which we live in. I probably haven't told you this,but I am taking my first big test this Thursday. It's an AP World History exam, so I am really nervous right now. In it, I shall have to answer 70 multiple choice questions within an hour, and write 3 different essays, each with a forty minute time limit more or less. It winds up to be about three and a half hours. If I do well, I can say that I have effectively tackled a college level course. If not... Wee...

It's been a good learning experience though. It's taught me things like patience, work ethic, and perseverance. I only wish I had more time to learn things. It's all gone so fast. But even if I fail, I suppose I will be proud of what I have done, maybe. There is always next year! Wish me luck. I know Pierre is wishing me a good one!

PIERRE LE PICKEL: LUCK WISHED!

Oh Pierre, always talking so clearly. Next time I go to France, I'll bring you along as my translator.

PIERRE LE PICKEL: RAWR!
