Interview

16

Facts, Habits or Goals.

Was tagged into this by @Endless21Echos :)

1: I want to teach, though i'm not sure if I want to do traditional teaching or Montessori Method.

2: I'm off for a College interview on the 15th :O and I have two other colleges that have replied to my applications with interviews this month.

3: Got my very first official job last month, up until then i'd always worked for myself.

4: I have to cycle roughly 20 miles a day to get in and out for work.

5: I'm currently listening to Korean Pop music :P

6: I'd like to travel still, mainly to Asia and perhaps NZ

7: As per my request at the start of this year, everything seems to be changing. Has sort of left me feeling a bit out of place.

8: Still figuring out all the complexities of being in a relationship which only just started this year too, all very confusing and distracting lol

9: I have the habit of calling out a Danish guys name everytime I cycle past his place on my way home lol I just say it to myself since he has a good saying name :P

10: My job is cleaning a small super market and a bank, and thanks to several underlying OCD tendencies i'm really rather enjoying it. I do however have to keep aware those tendencies stay underlying lol

11: Never imagined moving nor living in a populated area, but given my teaching hopes i'm starting to see myself living in Edinburgh. I recently visited there and it is a lovely city.

12: Rather than making me use them more as I thought, getting an iphone made me use social networks much less o.O

Gonna have to call it a day on 12 I think, can't think of anymore right now lol if you fancy joining in feel free :)

The Right Words

This is a Word Challenge/Game by @nushirox2 or at least she was the one who tagged me so i'm assuming it was hers.

We've taken to trivializing our language and words, using the extremes to somehow get more out of our expressions and conversation, perhaps it is the natural tendency of humans to push the boundries or maybe we just think it's funny :)

So the game is to pick 6 words that I have been mis-using and trivializing...shouldn't be hard I doubt :/

Lets start with Incredible. This is supposed to be something impossible to believe, but I believe almost everything so that can't be used right ;)

Then Outstanding. Mainly I just use this because Harry Solomon from Third Rock from the Sun used it :P

Or what about Fabulous. This should be saved for when you walk into the hanging gardens of Babylon, not for a really nice sandwich.

Even such things as Terrible. Nothing Terrible has ever happened to me I doubt, and to be honest i'm quite glad of that, it must be extremely, shockingly terror causing to count as terrible according to the definition.

Okay so I might over use it sometimes, but actually the word Wonderful. Fits just right when you are seeing something like the Aurora in the middle of a frosty clear night. But not so much for anything that falls short of inspiring delight.

And finally the vastly over used and wildly out of context Crazy. I can use this word to mean LOADS of different things none of which even come close to the real meaning lol

I love eloquence in both written and spoken language, so I tend to play around with words and speech just to make pretty sounds. But when you have the pleasure of listening to or reading someone who fully and intelligently grasps their language it is always a treat, so I agree that the safe guarding of our words and their true meanings is an important lesson to keep.

As for my Tag targets hmm...

When

When spring forgot to spring and winter held on and on...

When the hills caught fire and the blue skies wouldn't rain...

When the sun rose it found everything had changed, but it's used to that.

California

For almost a year now my blog has been bombarded with footprints from California.

Day after day after day after day all I see is 'California' it stops if I go onto sign in lock I think, or maybe friend lock.

But I don't want to let this persistent Californian Bot to win, does anyone have a solution?
