Oh the English language

So Tiff and I were bonding yesterday when Tiff started telling me about how she likes adding "-iness" to the end of words to make up words that don't really exist. While giving me examples she said, "You know, like jelloiness, happine- oh, well, maybe not happiness..." This coming from an English major. I love it.
Continuing in that vein, Kala and I are working on a new language or not so much really a new language as variations on the English language. So far we have canUpy, shugARy, and nopoe (like canoe or markoe as Mykala said). Firiend also counts but let me know if you have any suggestions for additions. Maybe I should include the most recent blunders of my professors like "clup" (aka club, gotta love Radka) and improper usage of "with" (ie. "Help yourself with a piece of pizza." -Dr. Young-Ok An).

Keri Noble tonight! Be still my heart. I'm quite excited. Someone asked me if she was playing in Scooters. Keri Noble in Scooters? Can you even imagine it? Not so much.

Another recent topic of conversation has been the wink. When is it appropriate and when is it not? What kind of impression does a girl get when a guy winks at her during a conversation? Is it too intimate for every day use? Does it give the wrong idea sometimes? I personally am not opposed to the wink and find it charming. Again, let me know...

Dr. Thompson had us all laughing hysterically today when he slipped up reading a Rupert Brooke poem and said "farts" instead of "hearts." He didn't even know he said it. He was so confused and kept asking "What? What?" The rest of us were laughing too hard to respond but Anne, our freshman, finally pointed and sputtered out at him, "You said FARTS!" Thompson tried to hold it in but couldn't help laughing at himself. Never missing a teaching opportunity he launched into a speech...
"All you snooty types thinking your intelligence distinguishes you from other animals; its your ability to yuck it up when your professor says farts. Then there's risibility- your ability to double over when someone actually lets one slip. You would like to think you have more dignity than that but you can hardly control yourself. You're laughing so hard you're going to hurt yourself."

Leaving the doctor's office this afternoon Bekah and I made fools of ourselves. First she tripped over a carpet and almost face planted in the foyer of the building and then as we were still laughing about that, I ran into the side of the door with the hinges and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't open. We then skipped through the parking lot saying, "Look at me, I'm in college." "No look at me, I'm graduating from college...even better, I'm a physics major!" "I have a double major and a minor!" Then Bek dropped a pen in the middle of the lot. It was great.

Ok, concert time but first I have a correction from the last post: It is The Handmaid's Tale, not Handmaiden's Tale by Margaret Atwood....fyi. Read it.
