The amazing dictionary of sounds

The amazing dictionary of sounds is a dictionary in which you can learn how to spell sounds. Sounds like my personal favorite, the zerbert (this is embarrassing, but I don't really know how to spell zerbert, so this spelling is just a guess). The amazing dictionary of sounds (or TADOS) is not a real book (yet), though. It is completely made up, by none other than me. I got this idea when I was chatting on yahoo! chat with my Aunt In The Big Damn Bus Of A Home, and I spelled a zerbert out to her. She thought it was so funny that she suggested that I should make a book out of it, so here I am, trying to spell funny sounds out like a total weirdo. Anyway, so here are a few funny sounds that I have attempted to spell:

Alien probe and/or scanner:
A sound that may come from an alien device which scans or probes.
"Nnnnneeeerrrierierierierierierierierierrrrrrrrr..." (pronounced as spelled, in a high pitched voice).

Zerbert aka Razzberry (not to be confused with raspberry, which is indeed a berry):
A zerbert is a sound one might make to annoy a sibling. To make such a sound, one sticks their tongue out and blows, thus creating a sound in which every child recognizes.
"Pthbthbthbtbthbthththththththth!!!" (caution: one might spit on the recipient of a zerbert if it is deployed at close range).

Flush:
A sound one might hear if they were to flush their toilet.
"Ffffflshshshshshshshshsh!!!" (pronounced as spelled, with emphasis on the "fffff" and the "shshshshshsh" tapering off at the end).

Old cat meow:
A sound one might hear coming from either an old cat, or a very sleepy/grumpy/lazy cat.
"Mrraowwwfff..." (For best results, one should let their eyelids droop, like they're sleepy).

Okay, that's all I got right now, soo...Maybe I'll think of some more later.

Dark vs. Light, Day vs. Night, Black vs. White, Good vs. Evil

Disclaimer: The title to this blog has nothing to do with race, I am merely talking about the colors black and white. So don't go calling me racist or anything.

Dark vs. Light:
Did you know that dark chocolate is actually better for you than milk chocolate is? Yeah, it's true: dark chocolate is a potent antioxidant, and it can help to lower blood pressure in moderate doses. Whereas the milk in milk chocolate cancels all that good stuff out, therefore making it not worth the effort (well, any chocolate is worth the effort, even if it's bad for you, but that's besides the point). White chocolate is no better than milk chocolate is, so don't even try to get around it that way. Because you may be thinking, "yeah, but dark chocolate is bitter, and milk and/or white chocolate tastes better", but I don't care. And the milk in white and milk chocolate doesn't care either. Even if you like it better, it's not going to get any better for you. So there.
Now, okay fine I agree that milk chocolate tastes better, but I also like dark chocolate so if I had a choice I might just choose dark over light.
The conclusion: Dark wins.

Day vs. Night:
That's easy, I prefer nighttime over day. I get hot easy, and I just don't like to go and bake in the sun, or squint in the shade. I would rather go out and watch the stars in the dead of night, the cool air on my skin, the moon looming over majestically. Not to mention that I am not a morning person, at all. I am a night owl for sure, and I like to stay up well past three AM when possible.
The conclusion: Night wins.

Black vs. White:
Again, easy. White is a clean color, and I am a total clean freak. However, black really does look good on my pale skin, and I do prefer to wear dark colors rather than light colors. And black is night personified, so I think my answer is clear.
The conclusion: Black wins.

Good vs. Evil:
Good, obviously. I do not like things like lying, stealing, killing or just plain hurting someone in general. I go out of my way to be nice to people, even if I don't particularly like them. However, I do like to be evil sometimes, but not necessarily the kind that people usually associate with the word "evil". More like the kind where I play a prank on my brother, or threaten to hit him on the head with a frying pan (okay, so I chased him with one a few times in the past, but I never actually hit him, so that doesn't count). And I very much like to flash a nice evil smile a him and creep him out all to hell. And I like to hide someplace and then reach out and touch his shoulder or something, thus scaring the crap out of him and making him scream like a girl. And also teasing him about nightmares of his by acting them out is fun. But none of that makes me evil. It just makes me moderately evil. But not pure evil. Because if it came down to it, I would suck it up and do the right thing in the end. But I might still crack a few jokes while I'm at it...
The conclusion: Good wins (although evil comes in close behind it, muahahahahaha!).

Anyway, I don't know what started this, but I'm just having a bit of fun. Soo...

Frustrations of an internet user...

Okay, so I don't really use the internet for much other than blogging, but I really don't like it when I can't access the internet at will. I mean, just yesterday I went the whole day without any access to the internet (okay, so not all day, but a lot of it!). And no, we did not forget to pay the bill, we payed just fine right on time as usual. No, it was the internet service's fault. For some reason, they screwed something up and the internet would just not work. We tried to call them and see what was going on, but the line was totally busy, so we figured that they were probably getting complaints from other people. Which means that we're not the only ones to have that problem. So if they're getting so many complaints, why did it take them all day to get it up (again, exaggerating just a bit)? It was like, somewhere around twelve AM before it came back, so what the heck happened to it to cause it to take that long to get back up and running? I mean, what exactly is it that causes the internet to go down? I can't even begin to know how the internet works, but I can't imagine what could go wrong. Maybe they get viruses like any other computer owner? Maybe they have problems with power? Maybe they just got lazy and forgot to turn it on? Or (and this is probably the most likely of the options I've had so far), maybe they were updating things and just forgot to let us all know?
Okay, so if you know anything about computers or how the internet works that I obviously don't know a thing about, then you probably think I'm pretty stupid. And you would be right, sort of. I mean, I could learn about computers and the internet and stuff, because that's what my dad does for a living, and I could just ask him, but I don't really have an interest in all that stuff. In fact, it took my dad and big bro forever to talk me into using the internet more, and even creating a blog (I know, right? Just think, if they hadn't annoyed the crud out of me to blog and stuff, you would never have been able to read any of my 70 some-odd blogs!). I was originally just going to use this computer as a glorified typewriter, so I could write in my novel, but then they talked me into it and I now very much love to blog. And, I can use my search engine to find out when new books are being released, and I can listen to music or watch a funny video on YouTube (although I only really do that if someone I know tells me about a funny video and asks me to check it out), and all sorts of research related stuff, too.
Okay, so any-ways...I just felt like griping about the internet going bye-bye yesterday...So now that I got all that out, I'll be signing off before I think of more things about the internet being gone to gripe about.

Another year, another 365 days of Blogging capabilities...

Today the year has rolled over, and no longer can we write "09" on our checks. Today we all write the same thing: "10". It's weird, isn't it? We have entered the double digit's of the 2000th year. We can no longer say "O" anything. Now it's all, "twenty ten" or just "ten". But can you say "O ten"? That doesn't really sound right...You might as well add one extra number and say "twenty ten". But then, when signing a legal document or something, it would be hard to fit "2010" in the tiny space they give you to write in, so you would just have to put a "10" instead. Am I confusing you?
Okay let's move on...
So since it's a new year and all, I got to thinking: What should my new year's resolution be? Well that's easy for me, really. My new year's resolution is to not only write whenever I have free time, but also to hold down a job (at Borders book store, preferably). That's an easy one, right? I mean, all I have to do is get a job, and go to work on time and work hard, then come home and write as much as my mind and schedule will allow.
Well, we'll see how that goes. I'm hoping that I won't have to cut down on blogging time, and especially my novel-writing time once I get a job. But I'll just have to take it one day at a time, right?
Anyway, I was just curious, what's your new year's resolution? If you have one, please leave a comment and tell me what it is. I'm a very curious person, so I would appreciate the cooperation. So just leave a comment and let me know, 'kay?
Here's hoping for another great year,
Miss Eccentric.
P.S. They should have Thanksgiving on New Year's day, because that's when you're feeling the most grateful for everything that's happened all-through the last year. Am I right, or am I right? Or, perhaps, am I right? Right? Tee hee!
Oh yeah, did you catch a glimpse of the moon last night? It may have looked just like every-other full moon, but last night for some reason the so-called Blue moon was even more beautiful.
