It's here!
Yeah! I have a car again! I'll get some pictures up when we get our computer back; it's at Notebook Hospital, it has a virus. So till then, I'll entertain you with some random posts. Today's topics: My favorite words.
1. Fluctuate: To move now in one direction and now in another; to be wavering or unsteady; to be irresolute or undetermined; to vacillate. In high school, one of my friends got on this kick of expanding her vocabulary. Everyday she would learn a new word and we would use it as often as we could. Fluctuate was our first word (and our last, she only did it for one day, I guess you could say she fluctuates a lot). It was an interesting day and you can use that word in a lot of situation (it's very discriptive of women), but I have never forgotten the word and it has remained one of my favorites.
2. Plethora: State of being overfull; excess; superabundance. I had an English teacher that would use this word all the time. In return, I used it in every paper I wrote in her class, which she acknowledge with a smiley face and I got A's in her classes (Sucking Up 101, by Erin Ziegler, man, I'm good). I really like to say the word. It makes me feel like I have a plethora of knowledge.
3. Canaliculi: small, microscopic canal between various lacunae ( it's tiny canals in the bone). I like this word not so much for what it means but cuz how you pronounce it. "Can-I-lick-you-lie". It brings out the jr. high boy in me. My lab teacher at Flo Valley said it, and a bunch of us died laughing, but unfortunately he didn't have a sense of humor. Can I lick you lie...tee-hee.

I saw a durango yesterday:)
Hi Liz- welcome to the world of blogging. Make yourself at home.
Adam- Ah, yes. Aren't they beautiful... and freakin' huge! They are loads of fun to park, but I love it anyways.
I have been saying "can I lick you lie" for five minutes now...
It's hard to find places in a conversation to use "can-I-lick-you-lie", even in the medical field, cuz they're not really that important. So if you have any ideas on how to use the word without sounding suggestive, I'm all ears. :)
