Good times

Sorry for the lack of new material lately, but I’ve been kinda caught up with school…
Today I played some soccer with some friends and during the last game, I fell on my back. Now I’ve got some bruises and a potentially sprained right wrist…
Very sexy, huh? …

Nice shirt

A couple of weeks ago, I received a t-shirt with one of my favorite bands – HIM. There was an image depicting Ville’s (Ville Valo – lead singer of the band) face on the front of the shirt and the same image in black and white on the back. Although I thought it to be kind of macabre, his face being edited to look like it’s decomposing, I didn’t pay much attention to this fact.
About a week ago, I was supposed to meet a friend at the local Mall. I decided to wear the t-shirt I just told you about.
While walking to the door to leave home, I passed by a mirror and was kind of shocked for a moment to see the corrupted face on my t-shirt looking at me.
On the way there, I noticed a group of kids in front of me on the side of the road turning to look at my shirt. Then, two of the girls let out a small scream of shock I guess, at the sight of Valo’s face. The other ones were just smiling at the shirt as I passed them. When I got there, a teenage girl sitting on the steps started looking at the shirt and asked me where I’d got it from, and if I thought she could find one for her. I told her what she wanted to know (by that time I had met with my friend) and entered the Mall.
While we were walking inside the Mall, I noticed two little faces popping out from behind a big column. The kids started staring at my t-shirt and then disappeared behind the column. When we were passing it, we saw the children heading towards their parents and the parents looked at my shirt, looking quite amused.
Anyways, I thought I’d show you the shirt in cause and ask you : Is it really that frightening )?

School

Well, school started today.
Since I’m going to go to school every day in the afternoon, I am probably going to sometimes be late with the W.o.t.D.’s, so I apologize now for any of these delays and for any silly words I’m going to choose as W.o.t.D. in a rush.
Needless to say, this schedule sux… I mean, I’m going to school before 12 o’clock and coming home when it’s already dark outside…this totally suxxorz!

Ersatz

[adj. UR-zats or UR-sats or ur-ZATS or ur-SATS]

Walking around a flea market, you may be impressed by the prices on brand name purses or sunglasses, but these items are likely to be ersatz. Ersatz describes something that serves as a substitute or an imitation of the original. It is usually of inferior quality. Near synonyms include: counterfeit, phony, inauthentic, synthetic, or artificial.
Ersatz was borrowed from the German in the 1870s. It is a derivation of ersetzen (to replace) from the Old High Germanic irsezzan which combines ir- (out) and sezzan (to set).

Gullible

I have found that the most accurate definitions of this word are over at Urban Dictionary so here are some of them :

1. Gullible

   1. Any person who has three boobs.
   2. Any person who believed the first definition.

   Someone wrote gullible on that tree over there.

2. Gullible

   The term applied to both the participants in the following conversation:
   
   Gullible Person 1: Did you know that ‘gullible’ isn’t in the dictionary?
   Gullible Person 2: Really? (Checks dictionary)
   Gullible Person 2: Wow! It really isn’t in the dictionary!
   Gullible Person 1: Oh my God! Give me a look!

3. Gullible

   IF you say the word gullible really slowly, it sounds like chicken!

   Person2: Say gullible really slowly, it sounds like chicken
   Person1: guh-lih-bull
   Person2: hear it?
   Person1: no.. guh-lih-bull
   Person2: hahaha

4. Gullible

   The only word that is not in the dictionary. Go look.
   I swear gullible is not there!

In case you haven’t caught up on the word’s meaning (which should be kind of concerning) here its official meaning :

Gullible = easily deceived or cheated.
