Answers and Such Things

AHA! The long lost returns! Only to be long lost again, I'm sure. I finally have the answers to those vocabulary words I posted eons ago. I don't know if you're even interested anymore (on that note, I don't know if you ever WERE interested) but here they are. I promised I'd post them and post them I will.

(No, I didn't forget to post them, they're at the end of the post. The answers are the ones in bold type.)

I have about four drafts on blogger which I could use to make world shattering (in a good way), absolutely phenomenal posts. But there is one problem. Cara is lazy.

Let me fill you in about my life over the past few weeks:

  • My D&G sunglasses were broken by a soccer ball kicked in the house. I will not say which younger brother it was, to spare him embarrassment. :)
  • I promptly bought a pair of aviators at Target (Linds and Amy, I thought of you!) and had them labeled as hideous by the great DJ. In return I made a slighting remark about anime, so we're fair and square.
  • We just got a shipment of over 70 boxes at the toy store. All of them have to be separately received, tagged, and shelved. Not to mention lugged between the stockroom and the store. It's work, but I like seeing the fun new stuff we get. Plus I have the best possible job anyone could ever have.
  • I went to Faredwood
  • I got knocked down during a volleyball game and could barely drive home it hurt so much to sit! And that's something, I never get hurt...almost never.
  • I wore green for St. Patty's day. Speaking of St. Pats, I read my favorite card of all time recently. It was a St. Patrick's day card at none other than TARGET! On the cover was a bartender saying, "On St. Patrick's Day, please drink responsibly." On the inside it said, "Use a coaster."
*pause so you can let it sink in*

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
  • I missed 24 on Monday--unheard of!
  • I started research on fashion designers for my term paper. I don't have a final topic or thesis yet, but it'll probably have something to do with five Italian designers (Armani, Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Cavalli, Versace, etc.) and their history, then comparison of their designs and lives and such things. It's either something like that or comparisons of fashion designers from different countries (Chanel, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Armani, Vera Wang, Donna Karen.) Soooo, that'll be an interesting journey, writing the paper and researching.
  • I watched a Grade-B movie and loved it.
  • I bought Crime and Punishment, but am still finishing Vanity Fair. I just haven't had the time to sit down and finish it. I have two hundred pages left, not bad.
  • I considered drawing and painting again--I haven't done n in so long--but didn't do it.
  • I'm currently busy with ideas for painting our basement and stairs.
  • I officially started to love learning languages, especially Spanish which I am studying this year.
  • I remind myself each day not to forget Stephanie's birthday on the 27th.
  • I wrote a check.
  • etc.

Have a smashing weekend, all.

Fair and square? I think not!

My remarks were incredibly accurate and to the point, while yours were simple mouthings of predigested calumnity.

;-)
[haven't a clue what calumnity means, it just sounded very condescending]

You missed 24?!?!?

Heheh, I didn't quite get the St. Patrick's day joke. I admit it, I can be pretty dense at times, but it usually only takes me a few seconds to get a joke! ARGH!

Wow! What are the odds. It was just yesterday I think (maybe the day before) when I suddenly remembered your word definition guessing game, and I came to your blog to see if you'd posted yet. Alas, you had not. But theeeennn... I checked today and you had! :) Thanks
