About

This is a combination of random thoughts, essays, and autocorrect poetry.

Basically, I hit random letters on my iPhone and sometimes by chance I find surprisingly poetic lines like:

Width wiser splatter
Wounded rising
Sequined absinthe against sepia

Urban DICKtionary and the habit I share with Bo Burnham

Whenever I think that I've come up with some new word Urban Dictionary always already has an entry for it. My life is so hard. A few years ago I thought of ninjaneer, like a person who trains ninjas. 
But then I came across this:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ninjaneering

Today I came up with both procrastidating and procrastimating. Sadly...Urban Dictionary, being the DICKtionary that it is, already had definitions for both of them:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=procrastidating
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=procrastimating

AND FOR DICKTIONARY:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dicktionary

It is now my goal to outwit Urban Dictionary. Expect updates.


Maybe I should stick to the other method of making myself feel more creative than I actually am, which is trying to say sentences that I don't think that anyone else has ever said before. (Bo Burnham actually does this too, which I find quite amusing. I'm not alone in my weirdness!)

Examples:

"But I removed my boobs and temporarily replaced them with books."

"My favorite movie is From Justin to Kelly."


"Out of the Box is the reason I have unrealistic expectations."
(This actually has a story behind it:

My roommates and I shouted at this video in pure fury. THIS SHOW IS FULL OF LIES. REGULAR BOXES DO NOT TURN INTO THIS AMAZING PLAYHOUSE. THERE ARE NO MAGICAL RESOURCES THAT APPEAR FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF CHILDREN.)

"I remember a stand selling huge, bigger-than-your-face ravioli." (This was from a dream I had. Mmm, they sound so delicious.)

If any of you have said these sentences before, congratulations. You've proven that I am unoriginal.

Back to school tomorrow so there will probably be less posts...but hopefully I can find some time to write out random things.
