I've got a bag of lollipops and I'm goin' to town.
I've heard that English is the hardest language to learn. I can totally see why. We have weird slang and abbreviations like, epic fail, legit, TMI, and whatevs. Not that I don't use American slang on a daily basis in my normal conversation, I'm just saying. But have you ever caught something that just totally doesn't make sense? Like the typical, "why is a driveway used for parking and the parkway is used for driving?".
Today, I caught one of my own American slang mysteries: the word Wardrobe. Say it, out loud. It's pronounced wore-drobe, no? In my opinion, and I think you will agree with me here, it should be called weardrobe. (My automatic spell checker is telling me that "weardrobe" is spelled incorrectly. How annoying.) I mean, doesn't it make more sense that way? You buy, well, some of us collect (guilty!), clothes to wear. Some of it might not be worn yet, hence the "wore" sound in wardrobe. Although not spelled wore, it definitely creates that illusion.
I'm sure I'm putting way too much thought into this. Blame my mother for doing whatever she did while she was pregnant with me. These kinds of things happen to me on a minutely basis. And that is not normal, I'm sure.
Speaking of ....
I heard something totally weird the other day. There was a study (don't ask me who, where or how, this is just what information I was fed via radio.) that came up with the conclusions that the way you slept while in the womb, is how you sleep throughout your life? Hmmm. Let's study this ourselves, with our nonscientist brains.
First off, for me, that's totally right. I sleep in the fetal position, which, I'm pretty sure is how a fetus sleeps, not that I remember or anything. Of course, I'd made a few modern justifications to my sleep position. You know, being that I'm twenty four and all now, and no longer a fetus. I like to call it the "Flamingo Position". It's a "spiced up" version, if you will, of the "fetal position". Stay with me now. I literally sleep like a flamingo, on my left side, with one tucked under, one leg sticking out straight (side note: this leg HAS to be sticking out of the covers, or sleep is just not happening.), and my hands tucked either under my pillow, or between my legs. Flamingo Position. Totally. BUT, when I lay on my right side, it's complete fetal position with arms tucked between my legs. I'm not tooting my horn or anything, but toot toot! I'm a cute sleeper!
This Tuesday and next Friday, I am going into New York to do some things. While I'm there, I'm planning to visit some art galleries. I already know of a few/have gotten some really good recommendations, but if anyone can recommend some that they have personally been to/would like to join me, let me know! It's a date. :)
I hope you all had a fabulous week, and enjoy your lazy weekends.
Toodles!
