I’m hideous!

Uh, never. I’m fat and therefore undesirable.

Oh, I remembered something interesting. I don’t know if it really relates though. Considering our words for days of the week are based on Norse gods, you’d thing that’d be especially the case for Nordic countries. However, in Icelandic they’re totally different.

I found this one one time and it was weird to note that the Icelandic word for window is “gluggi”.

Sounds bogus - it looks like a normal word to me: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shit#Engl…

In Old English, “ge-” was a strengthening prefix (not the right word, but I can’t think of it...multiplying maybe?), i.e. sælig was silly and ge-sælig was “REALLY silly”. Not sure if that helps.

The Czech word for servant is “robot” and that’s why robots are named that.

I at one time had a word origin blog. I stopped doing it for whatever reason, but it’s still up. I wish I could get to it at work so I could copy and paste, but it’s blocked. I love word origins so much. I don’t know if I can pick a best one, probably because so many are constantly in my head. Thinking about word…

I’m surprised how often my order is correct. I usually order a double cheeseburger meal. It’s not on the menu. Normally they get it right, maybe because it’s not on the menu. But I have gotten total mystification from the order-taker, so that I had to order each piece separately, and one time I got a completely…

I’m concerned about how the truck doesn’t look like it’s jacked up at all and he’s starting to take the wheel off. Let’s hope he was just posing.

I heart Britt Robertson!

YEP.

I knew it was dire when I saw a Coachella fashion banner on the home page of Amazon.

It looks like they are normal shorts that got shifted up a few inches.

My junior and senior year in high school, we had a teacher who was only 5 years older than us. EVERY girl in the school was in love with him. He was cute, funny, smart, and a fun teacher. He invited students over to his house sometimes (innocently, in large groups). I did lots of embarrassing stuff around him. One…

When I had a high school job, my dad always picked me up and dropped me off at work because I didn’t have a driver’s license. We didn’t have cell phones in those days, so I always just called the house. Well, even though we didn’t have cell phones, we had dial-up internet, and my mom was friggin’ on it 24 hours a day…

Haha! I loved him! Remember “Liquid Dreams”? Body like J-Lo, smile like Janet Jackson, something something. Remember the band, also from MTV, called 2ge+her? I think that was supposed to be a parody though.

The corner of the mouth thing is probably angular chelitis. You put athlete's foot cream on it and it clears it right up. I learned that from my doctor. It's apparently very common.

Great to know! Yeah, I am not excited at all to see a dietician, if only because I’ve seen them before and they don’t get my issues. But hopefully ones in this realm would understand.

I love them because I don’t have to hold a book open. It gets so uncomfortable and you can’t really have many different positions.
