I... Am... Tired...
So yesterday, I decided not to talk about my exam. I have no idea why I didn't, it was one of the few interesting things I did that day. (interesting being a relative term) I guess I'll talk about it today... Well, I went into the classroom, talked with my friend Olivia for about two minutes, and then answered random multiple choice questions for an hour and went home... Yeah.
Hm... this is interesting. I'm actually forcing myself to write something. Usually I have to stop myself before the post gets too long. Well let's see what I have in the idea box. *checks idea box* Okay, two things. The relationship I have with the copy/ paste functions, and my tendency to switch words.
First things first. Last night, I was playing with my iPad (yes, I have an iPad. Don't judge me.) before I went to bed. I was bored, so I decided that I would make my Facebook status the last thing that I had copied. I touch 'paste,' and I see this:
And I was like
Baby, baby, baby ooh,
Baby, baby, baby, noo,
Baby, baby, baby ooh,
Thought you'd always be mine, mine
I was absolutely horrified that Justin Bieber personally found me, hacked into my WiFi network, got my iPad password, found the lyrics to his song, copied them, and left, knowing that I would find it and be scared for life. (or at least that's the story I'm going with...) Well I've broken the rules of this blog on day three now... Okay, honestly, I have no idea how that happened. Seriously.
As with the whole word switching thing-- I switch words around. A lot. The first time I did it and it was really funny, I was at school. My friends and I were having a very intense debate, and as usual, we forgot what the debate was even about three minutes into it. By the end of it, I'm pretty sure I had won, so to bring it to a close and end that conversation, I said "My argument is valid." At least, that's what I said in my head. What came out of my mouth was "My valid is argument." In my opinion, that flows better. I don't know what I was thinking... What I do know is that whenever I'm having a debate and using big words to make myself seem smarter, all of that "topical knowledge" (that's my new word... Don't you love it? :D) flies away when I end with "my valid is argument."
Well this was fun, sorry I bored you to death. I was actually going to do something interesting today, I swear. I have a two liter bottle of Pepsi and a roll of Mentos all ready for tomorrow. I promise video!

PS- For some reason, the posting time on here is wrong. It's really 10:45... not almost 6. Anyone know how to fix this?
On word reversal: My family has a dinner blessing that includes: may we always be mindful of the needs of others, but my mother-in-law once said may we always be needful of the minds of others.
ReplyDeleteI used to switch words around quite a bit. And, oddly enough, high school was probably the most common time. The most common one that became a part of our vernacular was the morphing of "come to my locker with me" into "come to me with my locker". To this day, when I say the latter, it sounds perfectly normal and the *right* way to say it. The "correct" way sounds...wrong. When I typed it out above I had to reread it and really parse the grammar and realize that it was indeed the "correct" way to say it. Still sounds wrong as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if in 30 years you're still defending your premises by saying that your valids are argument. :)
