Cookies for Breakfast

Because who doesn't love cookies? I'm not talking about eating Cookie Crisp either, although that cereal is fantastic. I'm talking about straight up cookies that aren't trying to pass themselves off as cereal. E.L. Fudge cookies from Keebler to be exact. They're delicious and they go great with Snapple Lemon Tea.

So unfortunately yesterday was woefully unproductive. I got nothing done. I didn't even open a Word document and put my name on it, much less actually start writing the paper. So today I am going to be remarkably productive even if it kills me, which it shouldn't. I have those virtual sticky notes all over my computer telling me to be productive and write my paper. Virtual sticky notes are great because it's all the reminderness of real sticky notes without the pesky adhesive on your computer screen. Spellcheck is telling me that reminderness is not a word, like I don't know that. Well guess what spellcheck, I invent words like fripperous and reminderness, so you can just deal with it. So I'm off to conquer, or last start to conquer this ridiculous paper. Wish me luck.

So I think I'm a little late on this whole celebrity look-alike thing but I did it anyway, and check out the results!

I guess I look like Emma Watson, but there's also two men. Take that as you will.

Here's another one, because this is really fun.

So 71% Emma Watson but also 71% Marcus Schenkenberg. Hmmm.

This one is the best one yet. Hilarious.

So when they first do it, they give you 10 options and you can pick which 5 you want. Well on this one, 7 out of 10 were men, and 5 out of 10 were old balding men, but Steve Vai's pretty cool, so at least there's that.

 

Bahahaha, they think I look like Rick James and Frankie Muniz. Yes, I do realize that these are all men. I guess I look like a guy? And I'm even wearing makeup in this one so who knows?

I'm not addicted, I swear. I can stop whenever I want to. I just don't want to yet!

I would stop, but they just keep getting better. Exhibit A:

I look like Vin Diesel! Funny, I don't see the resemblance. But hey, I got Lauren Graham and she's cool. She plays Lorelai on Gilmore Girls and she's really pretty too.

 

I think that it's plain to see from this one why I couldn't stop yet. Seriously, all 5 of them are pretty astounding. And Mother Teresa, what? Seriously? I think it's because I'm wearing a hat. But 72%? I think I look more like Emma Watson than Mother Teresa, personally. At any rate, this is the 2nd time I've gotten Ashley Tisdale as well as the second time I got Bam Margera.

Don't worry, that was the last one. It was pretty fun though and told me that I'm either pretty, old, or a man. Good to know, I suppose.

Words

Today's post is about words, and more specifically about words that are fun to say. Let's face it some words are more fun to say than others. It's just a fact. I've decided to start some sort of word of the day type thing at the beginning of my posts. This is an introduction. The word of the day will be a word that I have fun saying. It might be partially made up, but based on a real word, such as today's word, which I'll be getting to in a little bit.  Words that end in the letter y are often fun to say, but not if preceded by a vowel. I'm not sure why I felt the need to write that last bit, but that's how I feel, so blam! I wrote it.  Sound effect noise words are also fun to say. These are technically called onomatopoeia, but that word's hard to pronounce and it's not fun to say either. And I'd just like to take this next few sentences to discuss how British phrases sometimes sneak into my vocabulary. I am not British. I have never even been out of the US. I do not have any close friends who are British, but somehow I use some British terms. For example, earlier in this post, I said "that last bit". That's a fairly British term and I have never even heard anyone with an American accent say it except for me. Yesterday, I was having Bible study with my friends, and I said that something was spot on. They didn't even know what I said, and I had to translate it into awkward American terms of "exactly correct". I don't even remember ever hearing anyone say spot on, but I must have. I just know it's British and it's a good phrase to have in your arsenal.  (See what I did there? British. Arsenal. Haha)

Without further ado, the word of the day is................................................................drum roll please......
FRIPPEROUS! I know what you're saying, that's not a real word, you made that up! Well, actually you're spot on. I did make that word up. However, it is based on an actual word. This word is frippery. I swear to you frippery is a real word. While it is fun to say, frippery is really hard to use in a sentence. It's just awkward to incorporate into conversation. Frippery means an "article worn for show: a showy item of clothing or an adornment worn for display or effect". To use it in a sentence: Your shutter shades are full of frippery and your entire ensemble is pretentious.  Awkward sentence right? Right. So to solve this problem, frippery needed to have an adjective form. After trying out fripperful, friptastic, and friptabulous, my roommate came up with fripperous. It was an obvious winner because it's so fun to say! Example sentence: Those shutter shades are fripperous and so is your so-called ironic t-shirt. Simple correct? Yes, it is quite simple. So, to make this an actual word, actual people need to use it. So, readers, as actual people, please start using fripperous in conversation. When you discuss hipsters, instead of calling them pretentious, call them fripperous. Lauren, please do not be offended by this. I do not consider you a hipster. You don't think that everyone is beneath you and you don't listen to bands that don't even exist yet. You are not fripperous, you are stupendously amazingly awesome.

It doesn't get much more fripperous than this

So, go forth and use fripperous in your conversation. Use it in your blogposts even! I leave you with this video by the hilarious Brian Regan, in which he discusses the confusing nature of the English language. Enjoy.
