I've been Tagged! Twice! How exciting :)
My first reaction was to wonder just where the word 'meme' came from, I think it must be an abbreviation of the Ab Fab line "I'm sorry if it sounds selfish, Sweetie, but me me me me me!"
So, five things about me:
1. I make up words (rather a lot).
I put this down to the fact that, at an estimated 750,000 to a million words, the English language is not nearly vast enough and sometimes new words just have to be made up to fill a void. (Such as enther)
2. I sometimes wonder if my life is the Truman Show
But then I reassure myself that They wouldn’t have made that movie if it was because I would catch on too easily… but then I wonder if that’s what They want me to think!
3. I’m a feminist as long as it doesn’t involve heavy lifting
While I think equal rights are very important and I wouldn’t want to go back to a time when women had no rights, couldn't work, couldn’t vote, etc. but I don’t really have a problem with gender roles. Men are (generally) physically stronger than women so, as far as I’m concerned, they can carry new furniture into the house and I’ll do the grocery shopping. (Possibly this is an excuse for being lazy, but I like my definition better.)
5. I was born with fake fingernails
This is he only reasonable explanation I can come up with as to why my nails are so gosh darn perfect. People look at me and say “Wow, are those things real?!” and I gave up hoping they were talking about my bust (or lack thereof) a long time ago.
4. I had intended to make all of that very funny
I don’t know if it worked or not though because, after watching Dylan Moran, nothing else can ever be funny again. It all seems kinda dull to me, but I’ll post anyway and y’all can let me know what you think.
I tag… Original Mel, Surfercam, Arian Dalliancer and whoever comments this post first.

Update
I'm in a very good mood today. To set the scene;
-I'm wearing purple stockings and a floral mini skirt and having a very good hair day
-I got lost of English homework done and I'm feeling a little less swamped (although I do wish I had a few more days of holidays)
-There has been great music on the radio all day
-I had my morning tea sitting on the back step with my cat
-Later this afternoon I get to look for pretty dresses with my mum

Living in a soapie*
You may recall me saying this
~The couple who organised the limo I mentioned in my last post broke up a few days after I posted (I'm still friends with both of them, no one was The Bastard as far as I can see)
~Two days after said breakup I found out about certain rumours doing the rounds. Apparently I am the reason they broke up because the boy was cheating with me. (Yes, me of all people)
~As far as I know the rumours haven't got back to the girl and, if they have, she doesn't believe them which is consoling
in a previous post. (or you may not, so, for your benefit, it has been recreated just up there ^)
What I learnt over my School Retreat (from my Sources) is that the final dot point there is untrue. You know why? Because the bitch started them! Apparently my so called friend has been bitching about me behind my back since I was in Italy! All the time being ever so nice to my face and letting me comfort her when she got dumped by my friend (I missed out on a study lesson to do that, I might add and it meant I had much more homework later in the day.)
Well, that's about all I have to say on the matter. I’ve decided not to confront her about it just yet (I don’t want to say anything whilst in a Rage) however I have made two decisions;
~No way am I paying $40 for her limo, I’ll go with someone else. (Because, unlike her, I have 3 offers for dates and could go with enther of them. Not that I’m being spiteful or anything)
~I am not going to tell my work that I can’t come in on ANZAC day (the day of her birthday party) and miss out on double pay for someone who hates my guts.
After all that it may seem strange to know that I don’t hate her. I very strongly dislike her but I pride myself on thinking the best of people so it takes a long time for me to actually hate someone. (So far, only person I’ve met has managed that)
But I think it would be better for all concerned if I stayed out of her way as much as possible. (The whole thing has made me feel most gluph)
*That is to say, living in a world where beautiful people do ugly things within a small circle of equally beautiful people.

Words that need to be invented #1
Enther – since ‘either’ can only be used when there are two options, ‘enther’ is to be used for more than two.
Eg: I wish enther Gary, Harry or Tom could give me a lift home.

Pre-Formal Worries, Chapter 2
Strange turn of events
In this chapter Nerd Girl notices a strange turn of events...
Before I let y'all know the story I should give you a bit of background information:
~I have decided I would just assume I'm going to the Formal by myself (but with the groups) because finding a partner has been too hard
~The couple who organised the limo I mentioned in my last post broke up a few days after I posted (I'm still friends with both of them, no one was The Bastard as far as I can see)
~Two days after said breakup I found out about certain rumours doing the rounds. Apparently I am the reason they broke up because the boy was cheating with me. (Yes, me of all people)
~As far as I know the rumours haven't got back to the girl and, if they have, she doesn't believe them which is consoling
The strange turn of events is that today I was (somewhat indirectly) asked to the Formal by three different people!
1. One of my best friends (a girl but we thought it would be great to be the only couple not restricted by the 30cm Rule)
2. The boy from the couple mentioned in the last blog (just as friends but I strongly advised against this for obvious reasons)
3. A friend of a friend who happened to be on my bus this afternoon (he said, and I quote, "Well, if we're both still single by then we should go together.")
This isn't a big teenage rant ending with "Who should I take?!" I just haven't posted for a little while.
