Verb confusion and the weekend

Good evening ladies!

I was cruising our blog for updates and wondering why there weren’t any when I realized something. What did I realize? That if I wrote an update then there would be an update!

My grammar checker said that I was having verb confusion with my use of “cruising” which caused me to type cruising into Google. The typical results for going on cruises in oceans were first and then there was Wikipedia. Apparently the origin of cruising is exclusively gay and one-night stand material. Hmm…

Maybe my verb is really bisexual but Microsoft Word just doesn’t understand.

I had a lovely weekend! Valerie and I hung out in Guelph for the better, better meaning greatest amount of awesome instead of greatest amount of time, part of Friday and most of Saturday. We saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1… twice!

Awesome? Yes!

Awesome again? Double yes!

Other activities in Guelph included noms (and I mean NOMS), strolling around town, and shopping for last minute costume stuff. We had to pick Valerie up a tie and vest so she’d look the part of private school attendee. The tie was relatively easy and is extraordinarily spiffy which I am a tiny bit jealous of. The vest was a bit harder but we did end up finding one. I would also like to say that the guy in Tip Top Tailors was very nice to us, even considering how strange it might have been to see us in there.

I was sad to leave on Saturday after only being in Guelph for a day but I had a lot of homework to do and needed to get on with doing it. Doesn’t that suck? I had just finished what was supposed to be the ultimate of all ultimate sufferings the week before but nope, there was still an assignment due on Monday so I had to do that. I can’t say I’m really upset about it because last weekend contained so much awesome I’m surprised it could be contained within one weekend but it would have been nice to get a few more hugs in before I had to leave. I miss hugs…

Valuable information on Mr. Lively was figured out today in organic chemistry! He is, in fact, a Harry Potter fan! Huzzah! He has read all the books and is really excited to see the movie sometime soon! Is it weird when you find the fact that someone shares your fandom a turn-on? If it turns out that he speaks Sindarin or Quenya he might find himself pressed firmly against the nearest possible surface without any hope or will to escape.

That last sentence was a bit of an exaggeration. Closer to the truth would be that I would embarrass myself by drooling all over my desk. Oh grade eight; I will never forget thee…

Until next time, I give you an enormous Titanic full of love each so that it may sink straight (or lesbian/gay/bisexually) into your heart!

Ciao,

Dina

  2. It was an awesome weekend of awesome, I guess that was why you had to leave Saturday night, there was not way to fit any more good into the weekend, it would have burst ;)

    I miss the hugs too... But there were some good ones while they lasted at least. I am glad Mr.Lively is an HP fan, that is just too good!!

    You made me think of 'I motion to table the chair' with the LOTR comments by the way...

  3. @Dawn - Really? You're Microsoft Word doesn't check your grammars? Mine certainly does! It delights in underlining many of my sentences in green and telling me "fragment(consider revision)". I'm glad you like the colour change, I think I might keep it! Could I do any other style than fanfic style? Being as addicted to it as I am?

    @Valerie - I was super excited to find out that Mr. Lively was an HP fan! I don't think you truly understand how much! Also, motioning to table the chair is still my favourite MUN joke. *virtual hugs*

  6. I called it a "grammar checker" but what is does mostly is check verbs. In other news, did you know that we're Googleable (I can't believe that's how you spell that word)? This weekend we were the top two results for "trouser trek". Today we're demoted to the second page but still! Cool beans!
