Those malaprophisms getcha every time...

I really just felt like using a big word that few people understand in the title to catch peoples attention, other than it's complexity it serves no function (maybe irony) in this entry. I say irony because a malaprophism is, simply put, a misunderstood cliche or colloquialism, usually used by a naive child who just wants to sound like all the grown-ups.

A few days ago I went to the mall with a friend and her mother. My friend started bashing on her mom's bad behaviors such as running over children in the mall and telling them to get out of the way. This drew her to the conclusion that her mom "is the ebony of republicans." I figured it was okay to go ahead and laugh until I ran out of breath because she is my age and couldn't distinguish "ebony" and "epidomy." The next day in Latin she decided to brag to our teacher about how she uses "latter" and "former" correctly in conversations when we were learning about the "hic" "ille" charts... Oh well, I digress, I'm probally sticking my foot in my mouth writing this.

Oz has been overtaken by a freak snowstorm the last few days. The Ozians were not prepared. The blizard hit Monday night, Tuesday morning there was up to 3 feet of snow in some places. It was ridiculous, the plows couldn't even get out and the temp was frequently below zero. I stayed with another friend the past few days- I'm glad I got to be snowed in with her as opposed to anybody else, but I still had a nasty case of cabin fever. I couldn't blog and my cell phone battery was rapidly dying. I braves the snow today after spending hours digging with a garden shovel, pitcher, and rubbermaid lid to get her Mom's car out, then went on to rescue mine. Lucky me got to drive in the snow for the first time today by myself with a cell phone battery flickering in and out of consciousness. I got stuck 3 times, 2 of which some pretty awesome Ozians helped me out, the 1st time, however, I was on my own. It was absolutely terifying and I don't recomend it to anyone.

Anyways, I finally got computer access again and I'm stir crazy. It's 2 O'clock in the morning but I refuse to sleep. Not until I blog about some irrelavant topic long enough to get my brain to stop thinking about the relavant topics. That probally makes no since... if I'm doing pointless, extraneous activities then I don't have to be left alone with my thoughts. I just talk about junk until I can't stay awake anymore then I pass out, avoiding the whole 'being alone with your thoughts' mess (: I'm a mad genius, I know. Well, obviously the point of no return is approaching quickly and I'm sure I am boring you, dear reader, so I shall be going now... or maybe I'll watch some Salad Fingers. I love me some Salad Fingers!
