WOW: Word of the Week

Quest: (noun): Quest is the most intense of all the words describing a journey. It would be considerably more treacherous than a mish or a trott, as it will probably entail passing several ghettos beofre arriving at the destination. Tread with care, he who dares partake.

ex: The party's supposed to be in Amsterdam man. Where are we now? Yorkshire. Quest!!!!!!

This one pays homage to any fellow Questers who may be reading this. Don't worry, I'm spreading the word...QUEST WEEK 09: WINTER EDITION!
 

Also, your corresponding Elven phrase:

"Lle naa haran e' nausalle"

Which means "You are king in your imagination." Ladies, use this to punch a hole in some jerk's giant ego. It says 'I'm classy, yet well versed in the ways of nerd.' Who knows? You may attract a slightly nerdy yet adorable replacement for the jerk you just shut down? Good luck!

Random Video Fun

So, as I usually do to make up for not posting, here are some videos I've found and/or been shown recently. Hope you enjoy them and they make you forget about how infrequently I post.

Oh the things parents put on youtube..."is this real life?"

This is one of a few awesome videos done by the same people about turning fun into positive reinforcement for desirable behavior. I love it!

And this one is compliments of SG (who I have not yet asked for a codename, start thinking SG!) about the impending doom that is swine!

Holy Moley!

So, loyal readers (of which there are most likely many fewer now) it's been quite a while since I've blogged and I am deeply sorry to all of you who had to actually do your homework for the past few days instead of getting your daily dose of stupidity from this blog. I would like to alert anyone who doesn't already know that yes, there was swine in the building, no it was not as widespread as it was made out to be, yes I have a surgical mask on hand now, and no there is not a mass outbreak. I do however still encourage you all to keep santising those hands, just in case. In other news, recently I've learned:

• Glee will not be back on until sometime in November. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.
• Sometimes some good old fashion Nursery Rhymin' will win over the hearts of even the most senile of judges.
• Becca has an attitude.
• Here, when it's not raining, the sky is thinking about when next to rain.
• Elven ears are a rare commoddy.
• The best way to watch a LOTR movie is with people who A. know random trivia B. can recite lines from memory and C. know of corresponding parodies/youtube videos that go along with it.
• The quad can fit a shitload of people.
• Napping can lead to really weird dreams.
• The Sims is way too addicting for its own good. And mine too.
• Slouchy boots are FANTASTIC.
• I should not go shopping with WhoreNextDoor. EVER.
• The people at the Chinese food places in the mall don't care how many times you walk by or how many times they see you stopping by the competition, they will always feed you.
• Gertrude Hawk, however, will not.
• Costume stores ain't what they used to be.
• My family misses me, and I miss them!
• Unicyclists are people too.
• We Diehmers make quite the impression.
• I love Tasha, and hope she reads this and knows how horrible I feel for not letting her know when I was done with my homework!!

And not on that note at all, here are some epic things collected from the Saturday night movie crew. Be aware, they all relate to Lord of the Rings, which you should deffinatly watch if you haven't seen it. They are the most questly movies of all time.
