Sentences Pulled From My Archives

Aaron and I were perusing our blog archives recently. We winced, laughed, and snorted at former blunders, typos, and wordings. All that is behind us now! We're official bloggers now, no longer diary-blogger-wannabes.

Several sentences from various posts amused me. Amused is an understatement; they left us in stitches. It was all sort of accumulatively funny; blunt upon witty upon untactful, etc. I picked out 29 choice ones. There were lots and lots of others that were hilarious, but they all had to do with inside jokes or were simply too embarrassing to repeat.

1. I've a little bit of a problem though, is a dragonfly a boy or a girl? I have a feeling that a damselfly's the girl. Oh phew, someone just told me that there are mail and female ones of both. That takes a load of my shoulders...

2.I thought that this Science would be the worst thing that happened to me since brussel sprouts, but it's really not that bad!

3. Wow, i actually remembered something!

4.I didn't know that food meant so much to me, until now!

5. well, too many posts already today so i'll keep this one short! (Is there such a thing as too many posts?)

6. It only takes a couple million dollars! (In total seriousness.)


7. Did you know that a stunt guy actually died filming that? (About Ben Hur.) I find that really sad, cause I would love to be a movie stunt person, and I really don't want to die on set.


8. Eugene whatever-his-name-is made an AWESOME interception/catch. (Trying to show off my "knowledge" of the Patriots when there really was no knowledge to show off.)

9. I do not love it when people have fingers in my mouth.

10. I decided that I'm loony too. Not really, actually. I just felt like saying I am, cause i love the word loony.

11. I pinned it (my hair) up to the back of my head (not the front) with tons of clips.

12. They were white, which fortunately my eyebrows are not.

13. The tractor was slowly going down. Glug glug glug. It sounded like that.

14. They're far from boring but they're not interesting

15. I was so good this evening!

16. I took a nice long, relaxing weekend away just to refresh my mind so that I'd have something new to write about. Wait, that doesn't make sense, and I didn't take a vacation to refresh my mind anyway.

17. The Main House is big and empty and vacant since nobody's there. (Soo redundant.)

18. (We) hauled our hefty bags (no, they were not trash bags) into the house.

19. Us three girls (don't tell me, I did it wrong. is it objective or nominative case? I just learned that, but I guess I didn't really...)

20. After resisting the urge to dip in the 33 degree water, we went back. (That doesn't sound like an urge at all!)

21. I was such a smart little girl

22. Aaron served the ball and i saw it out of the corner of my eye and dived for it and my high heeled clogs gave way from under me and i tumbled to the floor, a mass of me. (pardon the "mass of me" bit, i was going to say a mass of arms and legs, but that didn't sound too flattering, so i chose the alternative.)

23.There was a very little amount of sleep for everyone, because a person who I will not mention had snoring issues. (I meant "a person whose name I will not mention")

24. I must go, I love long posts, and though none can be too long, I guess some can get rawther close to that. (Contrary to quote #5.)

25. Not on yer life! Just felt like saying that, actually quoting Aaron because he said that to me because I was terrorizing him and spraying him with scented water, and after he gave me a frustrated glance I pointed out that he had not said "please don't" and then he shot back and said that I hadn't said "may I?" so I asked him and he said, "Not on yer life!" The End

26. It turns out that Clyde wasn't raptured.

27. I’m not usually in a thoughtful mood like I am now, and it’s a rather strange feeling to put a few of my many thoughts down on paper.

28. Even though I like to be slothful I'm glad I am not a sloth...(I believe that was a very profound and intelligent statement.)

29. The part where the ferry tips over and all the people are in the water trying to escape the tripods made me want to become a really fast swimmer. That way if a tripod was ever chasing me, I'd escape.

Welcome back! I know you know this, having sat next to me the entire time and all, but these little snippets made me LAUGH and LAUGH and LAUGH!

Susan Elizabeth said...

Every one of those sentences sound just like you, Cara! I remember reading some of them and laughing or being confused at the time.
Fun post!

I love your new template.

Cara said...

Thank you, Melody! It's a Jackson Pollock.

ljm said...

Good idea, Cara...I've seen some blogs do something similar lately where they use the first sentence posted in each month of the past year...if that makes any sense. Kinda interesting.
