Killer Whales, Pictures, and Complicated Words

AHHH!!! I am not typing "AAHHH!!!" because I feel angry and feel like throwing someone (usually my brothers) into the pool and drowning them. I just feel relieved. Yay! We don't have to fight anymore because a few seconds ago, I said sorry to PaulLyn on MSN and she said sorry back so I guess it's okay now.

Thanks to Tash, I found out how to transfer stuff from your phone to your PC and vice versa - download Nokia PC Suite. So I downloaded it and started transferring. These are some of the pics I took from my phone that I transferred to my laptop (I am forced to make the pictures small because it will be cut off if I make it medium or large, because of this blogskin):

My stuffed toys!

A weird, faceless mermaid that I made out of clay sitting on this fake rose thing

The same faceless mermaid and same sparkly flower, but with a different background

4 fairy statues arranged from the [who looks the] oldest to youngest

My super-messy desk!!

My super-messy bookshelf (there are more books hidden behind the first rows of books)!! The only time I rearranged my bookshelf, it took like 2 or 3 hours, and then a few days later it was messy again.

This is one of the fairy statues (the second eldest) in front of a row of flowers in my backyard. I don't know what that blue blur at the left side is, but I'll just ignore it... but it kinda ruins the picture, don't you think? But I still like it!

I will never be able to really tidy up my desk AND my bookshelf. It's too impossible, because when I have something and I don't know where to put it, I'll just leave it somewhere on my desk, and then I repeat that over and over again until my desk looks like - voila! - a rubbish dump!

And I will never have a bookshelf that is neat and tidy for more than 3 days because I climb up on the desk and get a book, read it, then wonder where to put it because the place where I put it was occupied by another book, then just place it on top of another book or just stick it in somewhere and then get another book. Then that process goes on and on and on until my bookshelf is too depressingly and horribly messy, a neat old librarian will faint at the sight of it.

Oh well. It's better than having a neat, dusty bookshelf, right? Because, according to A Series of Unfortunate Events: Book the Sixth: The Erzatz Elevator, Jerome Squalor and Esme Squalor, his evil, money-hungry, greedy wife who only cares about what's "in" (fashionable) and what's "out" (not fashionable), a neat, dusty library means the person doesn't read the books in it, and the books are just sitting there and sadly waiting to be read.

But it doesn't mean neccessarily have to mean that. Maybe there's a huge bookworm somewhere out there who has a really neat library because he spends 5 hours cleaning his library every other day, or calls all his relatives to come over and help him neaten it.

If complicated words make your brain hurt, skip this paragraph: In the 11th SUE book I read, there's this really complicated paragraph that goes like this:

"The Gorgonian Grotto," she said, "located in propinquity to Anwhistle Aquatics, has appropriately wraithlike nomenclature, with roots in Grecian mythology, as this conical cavern is fecund with what is perhaps the bugaboo of the entire mycological pantheon."

LOL... Sooooo complicated right? I was like, "OMG. What are they saying?" because all I understood was, "The Gorgonian Grotto, located, Anwhistle Aquatics, appropriately, roots, Grecian mythology, conical cavern, entire, and mycological", so it was a good thing they explained what some of the words meant in the book. So if you're too lazy too look in the dictionary yourself, but are very curious, I'll just explain it to you, since I have nothing better to do. These are the things that the book explained:

It means that the Gorgonian Grotto is appropriately named after a monster in Greek mythology - a Gorgon, which is a woman who can turn people to stone and has snakes for hair. It means that the grotto is appropriately named after a legendary monster because there's a monster living in a cave - a bugaboo. A bugaboo can be any type of monster, and Violet, Klaus, and Sunny could call Count Olaf (a villain who has tried one terrible scheme after another to get his hands on their fortune) a bugaboo, if they felt so inclined.

That's what the book explained, but if you're wondering about more of the words, I'll just tell you (it's fun defining words... a bit - thank you, www.dictionary.com!). "Propinquity" means like, near some place. "Fecund" means producing or capable of producing. "Mycological" is the easiest. I mean, if "mycologist" means a person who studies fungi/mushrooms, mycological obviously means...

Gueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssss...

Having to do with the study of fungi! If you guessed that correctly, you win! But there is no prize! So too bad! But at least it means you're smart! So that's your prize! Even though it's lame!

Okay. I sound so retarded. Haha. I love S.U.E.!! Soooooo nice and you learn a lot of words like "idiosyncrasy" and "ersatz" and whatever. Yay! But now I want to get Twilight and New Moon.

Oh no! I have terrible news!! I'M GOING TO GET AN ALLOWANCE!!

You might think I'm crazy, but I'm not. If I get an allowance, it means I'll have to use my own money rather than my parents' to buy my stuff like books and stationery and whatever!! Nooooooooo!! Books are expensive, don't you know? When I told my Mom this, she was like, "Ya la. So maybe one month only can buy one book."

I was like, "No, no, no! Cannot! Cannot!" One book a MONTH? That's like only 12 measly books a YEAR!!! You can't torture me like this! Oh well. Maybe she'll forget about the "allowance" thing. She isn't very good at remembering, so maybe she'll forget! Hehehe... Oops! I gotta go. My Mom wants me to do my work =.= Oh well. Bye!

P.S. God, please make my Mom forget about the allowance thing, amen!

P.P.S. OMG! My Dad just yelled, "Who wants beef?" OMG I really gotta go eat it before it's all finished! Bye~! XD
