Wurd!
It's Black Friday in the US, which means that it's a time where people go a little crazy and maybe get a bit stressed out. Why not take a load off and learn some new vocabulary:
Snackle- verb. (Snak-el) To settle for a snack you don't really want but you're too lazy to get anything else. I snackle on bananas a lot because they're easy and involve no cooking.
Santa-ist- noun. (San-tah-isst) A person who is overly enthusiastic about Christmas. These people often have overly elaborate decorations and wear ugly Christmas sweaters non-ironically.
Waking up on the wrong side of the dick- verb. A crankier version of waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
Amazish- adjective. (ah-maiz-ish) When something makes you really happy but you don't really care all that much- eg. When you hear that they're doing a reboot of a cartoon you loved as a kid...it's great...but it doesn't really affect you.

More New Words!
I can't say that this is how I imagined I would be putting my language degree to use, but at least it wasn't a total waste (sorry mom and dad). I will eventually have to recap all of these new word creations of mine and start my own dictionary since those twats at the Oxford won't allow me within 50 meters of their office anymore. Here are today's words:
Spoontang (Spoon-tang) noun. A guilty pleasure of indulging in food. Eg: I have some Ben and Jerry's in my freezer waiting for me...I'm gonna get me some spoontang.
Procatstinate (Pro-kat-stinn-ate) verb. To waste time watching cat videos online. Eg. I was supposed to be getting that report done for my boss but I spent the whole day procatstinating watching Simon's Cat on YouTube.
Caffiend- (Ka-feend) noun. A person who is massively addicted to caffeine such a coffee and energy drinks. Eg. Mike really needs to cut down on the coffee, he's a major caffiend, he's up to 5 a day.
Tadpolling (Tad-pol-ling) verb. Dating someone much too young for you. Sharon is 39 and is dating a 21 year old guys, I don't know why she's tadpolling instead of looking for someone a bit more mature.

Newest vocabulary submissions to the OED
To date, nobody from the Oxford English dictionary (OED) has contacted me regarding my prior submissions to the dictionary...other than 2 restraining orders and 1 cease-and-desist. This has not dampened my spirits or crushed the hopes that one day I will make it into the common vernacular, even if those language snobs refuse to acknowledge my advanced linguistic propensity! To put it simply...suck it word dweebs, these words are happening:
Decorbating (deck-orb-bait-ing) verb. To find a bit too much pleasure and obsession in decorating. Eg. "You spend way too much time and money decorbating in Pottery Barn, how many damn mason jars do we need?!"
Cock Blogging (Cok Blawg-ing) verb. To destroy a guy's chances with other women by posting online about his lack of size or performance in the bedroom. Eg. "I thought I was in with that cute new girl but my ex cock blogged me by posting about how bad I am."
Flamentation (flam-men-tay-shun) noun. To overact your regret or sadness over something to make yourself the center of attention. Eg. "Where is crazy aunt Mary?" "She's whaling her flamentations in front of the whole family about how nobody ever calls her."
A Confidence Boobst (boob-st) noun. The slight boost in self-confidence you get when you know you're not looking your best but you catch a guy looking down your top. "I was feeling bloated and having a fat day but when I caught Jim looking, I have to admit, it was a bit of a confidence boobst"

Good Advice
"Don't Touch -Willie"....good advice!
Everyone always has advice to give on everything; friends, family, magazines, tv shows, complete strangers etc. The problem is that we're usually offered so much of it that it's hard to know what to listen to. The obvious person you should be listening to is me...I am amazing.
I've been given a ton of advice about everything in life, some I'm very glad I've listen to, some I wish I hadn't and some I'm really glad I didn't. To the friend who advised me at age 24 that I should have a baby because it was fun...ya...you maybe should refrain from sharing your advice. To the person who advised me that lending money to a deadbeat ex-bf was a bad idea...wish I'd listened to you.
These days I take most of my advice from Liz Lemon "Put potato chips on a sandwich", but I felt it prudent to share some nuggets of wisdom I've received or learned over the years from various sources...what I would consider to be amongst the best advice I can give.
1. Live Alone. Not forever...but do it at some point in your life. I lived with two boyfriends after moving out of my parents house. I technically had my own place briefly but I spent almost no time alone there. Living alone teaches you how to become a more complete person, how to solve your own problems, how to live with yourself and be independent.
2. Watch how someone treats service people. If they are rude to the waitress or the cashier, what does that tell you about someone? It shows a lack of respect for people and shows selfishness. I had an ex who used to be foul to waitresses and it embarrassed me...it wasn't long before he began to treat me the same way.
3. Comfortable shoes are never unfashionable. Seriously, having sore feet can ruin any day or occasion. Always have comfy shoes on hand because there is nothing sexy about high heels when you're walking like you just had the world's largest enema.
4. Wait 24 hours before sending an angry message. We all say things in the heat of the moment that we wish we could take back...so why risk it?
5. Never go to bed angry. This can be so hard because sometimes you're just so angry or so upset, but it's worth it. Waking up still angry will put a damper on your entire day, you're letting the negativity consume you and eat at you and the resentment only builds. Just deal with it now...trust me.
6. Wait to get married. Why are people in their 20's in such a rush to get married? I watched so many friends marry the wrong person just because they HAD to get married or else they thought their world would end. If you love them and want to be together, then that's what matters...make sure you know. Otherwise, maybe you're just doing this for the wedding and not for the marriage.
7. Don't lend money to people you know. This never ends well. If it's for life-saving surgery, ok, fine, but otherwise, do not risk it. One person will end up getting screwed somehow, even if you pay them back immediately...it will haunt you both.
8. Drink more water. There is no downside to this...just do it. It helps your digestion, your skin, your appetite control, your blood sugar, your weight...and it's the best habit you'll start.
9. Send me money. How did this get in the list? Silly me....but seriously, do it.
10. Have a hobby...like me...I write blog posts nobody reads or cares about...but I do it because I enjoy it as an outlet. It keeps me from venting at strangers on the street again.
Now my advice is to stop dicking around on the internet and do something productive...like watching Netflix.

Teenagers (part 1)
There is one thing on this planet that all people over the age
of 25 hate. It’s not taxes, it’s not
paying rent…it’s something far more annoying, less useful and there is no
getting rid of this particular plague. Teenagers. The so-called “future” of human society, every
generation getting progressively worse until are eventually the death of us
all. The end of the human race will not
be in a US-Russian fueled nuclear war or an extinction level asteroid…it will
be teenagers.
There was a time when teenagers were considered adults and
were getting married and having children at age 13, they were fully active
members of society and had already achieved a good chunk of their life expectancy. Now they are still in school, still living at
home, and only the really stupid ones are having children. While I am for them still being in school and
still living at home during their teenage years, I am not against pushing back
to the times when they were expected to contribute more to society that shrill
laughter in inappropriate places and eye rolling at every word spoken to them.
Get a group of teenagers together and show them pictures of
Vladimir Putin, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Nikola Tesla, and Margaret Thatcher and
see how many of them they recognize and know about. Show them pictures of Justin Bieber, the
man-children from One Direction and the cast of Glee and I bet you they won’t
miss a single one. When I was a teenager
(let’s not discuss how long ago this may have been), I would also have been
able to recognize all of the pop stars and current celebrities, but I can
confidently say I would have gotten 3 out of the 4 others who are not quite so ‘pop-culture’,
as would many people I went to school with.
There is a level of blame to be placed on the schools as well, I was
fortunate enough that I went to a pretty good school; I didn’t know it at the
time, but when I compare it to other people who went to other schools in other
cities and areas, it did me well. We
were taught things such as world issues and why they were important and how to
question things that we read and they actively wanted us to take a personal
interest in the issues of the day. Ask a
teenager today who David Cameron is, how many would know? Why is Russia against US action in
Syria? Do you know where Syria is on a
map?? Do you know how to use a
non-google map???
School seems wasted on so many students in that they do not
appreciate the education while they are getting it. They see school as an inconvenience and an
annoyance that just keeps them from hanging out with their friends. Yes, social lives are important, but they
will never trump a good education, believe me, I regret skipping as much as I
did during those years. The importance
that teenagers put on their social lives is completely disproportionate, and if
you want proof how unimportant a teenager’s social life is, consider how many
people you hung out with then are still in your life now. How many great biographies have you read that
detail the social importance of their high school years (unless they were bad
bullying experiences that scarred them)?
None, because they don’t really matter…in the grand scheme of life, a
teenager’s social life is as important as a benign mole on your back that you
remember every 6 months when you see the doctor but pay no attention to.
I would also like to point out to teenagers, that when
adults say that you look stupid doing things like smoking, drinking and acting
like baboons, they are not jealous of your youth, they are not saying that you
are cool by rebelling against what adults do…they/we really do mean that you
look completely and utterly stupid. I
see groups of teenagers on the subway every day coming home from their days at
school, and they are always in obnoxiously loud groups giggling, shouting,
yelling etc. even though they are standing 4 inches apart. I can always see them each looking around the
subway car to see if people are looking at them..they adjust their stance so
they look cooler, they don’t hold a handrail because they are such pros that
they ‘got this’ and they talk about whatever they think will make them sound
cool to these perfect strangers who will likely never see them again. As one of those strangers I will tell you what
goes through the head of all of the people you are trying to impress…the
thought is not ‘wow, they must be the cool kids, I wish I was still young’…it
is ‘good god, shut up already and grow up, you’re so disruptive to everyone
around you…now what do I make for dinner?’
A quick note to teens as well…this one just burns my butter…every
time you use the words ‘that’s not fair’, someone over the age of 30 gets to
smack you with their bank statement…because life is not fair princess. If you think teachers are mean and unfair,
wait until you get a boss you don’t like.
You think homework sucks? Yes,
reading and writing must be such a job while you sit in a house someone else
paid for, eating the food they’ve provided you in the clothing you didn’t have
to work for. If it were up to me,
Iphones would be banned for anyone under the age of 18, because you should have
to learn how to learn before you’re allowed to have a device that tells you everything.
Don’t get me started on teenagers’ music…because we all know
how bad it is..but in all fairness, all generations have had some really bad
teenage music in their era.
