Well hello strangers. I am doing something unprecedented. I am sitting in Barnes and Noble blagging. What?! I need some fresh faces to people watch. Plus I already spent a considerable amount of time at cups today. I'll go back later once the shift changes. Today I discovered two new words that I didn't even realize were real words or fake words till I read them in a beautiful book I'm reading. 1st word of the day Afflatus- A divine creative impulse or inspiration. Did you know that was a word?! I have a friend who has a board on pintrest and it is titled Afflatus. But I thought she made it up cause she's awesome and makes up cool words a lot. But, she didn't make this one up. At first I was dissapointed, then I was like wait this word is amazing... my friend is so cool cause she knows this awesome word!
The next word is Maelstrom- A powerful whirlpool in the sea or a river (a mythical whirlpoop (that is the best typo I have ever had the privilege to typo so it stays) supposed to exist in the arctic ocean, west of Norway) Holy cabooses!!!! What an awesome word! How I am going to sneak this into day to day conversation I have no idea. I also have no on earthly idea how in the great cosmos to pronounce it... Oh well that is the fun of new words. I thought facade was said with a hard c for the longest time. Nope. Gee it sounds so nice with the hard c. I thought "album" was "albLum" which is how it should be said if you ask me. I say it the right way when I'm not talking to myself in my head. But, it is said very deliberately. If you ever hear me say it you can be sure that I am making very sure that I say it without the L. Anyway sorry I got you caught up in that maelstrom of... nope too forced. (I also can't come up with a word to describe the past 2 or 3 sentences.) I will find a way don't you worry.There is a woman across from me who is actually writing with a huge flower pen. To my right there is an old man eating a bagel and drinking nantucket apple juice whilst wearing a tweed fedora with feathers poking out of it very Dr. Doolittle, not to be confused with Eliza Doolittle I'm pretty sure she wasn't a doctor and I'm pretty sure she didn't wear fedoras. Nook tablet for dummies is on sale they should sell "Dummie Books for Dummies" telling all the dummies in the world what dummie books they should purchase if they don't want to be called a dummie anymore. I think the internet just went out here at B&N and by the tragic look on the face of the hipster in front of me i would say yes it has. Oh there it goes! its back on again!! Fear not hipster man all is well on the blagoblogesphere. I hear that's what the young kids are calling it these days. I want a fanny pack. I feel like I need a change maybe I'll get bangs or maybe I will get a fanny pack. They are both pretty big changes but I think it would be good for me. I've been so snippy lately. (I know its hard to believe, me? snippy? get out of town! get off the stage! shut the front door! drop the anchor! pull in the sails! avast the brigands! (that's a saying right?) swab the deck! do the stanky leg! hem your pants! guard the cellar! drop it like its hot! burn the hatches!) I don't know what it is but I've been nipping everything in the bud lately. I need an attitude adjustment or a fanny pack either one will do. No, actually only the fanny pack will do. If you would like to donate to the "Find Me a Fannypack Fund" just send me money. (I made fannypack one word so that I could have my alliteration)
