Frightening-Whats frightening is seeing a cat that looks like your old cat who was taken by a stranger because they thought it was theirs and seeing it in your kitchen and when you concentrate on it it's gone.Also,sitting on a couch and having a cat jumping on the arm of the chair and there is no cat anywhere and not hearing it jump down.

Strangers - I hate these. That's why I [try to] befriend everyone around me. Makes it hard for strangers to try anything.

'Vincible - Notice how 'in-', as a prefix, usually means stuff like "can't". So invicible should mean "The inability to be vinced". What is vincing?

Inability - Hey, if a pokemon has two possible abilities, we should maybe start calling the one it doesn't have its inability. After all, as Drake pointed out, the prefix "in" means "can't" so, say, an Arbok with Shed Skin has Intimidate as an inability ("can't intimidate").

Arbok - The people who thought of the names of Pokemon were obviously feeling lazy when they thought of this one. And Ekans. They're just cobra and snake backwards. The c is just replaced with a k.

lazy - My spanish and biology teachers are so lazy! Spanish has nothing but worksheets and a teacher who sits at her desk for the whole period, and biology has a teacher who takes forever to give us things, has us do her own work, and never comes up with things on her own; she recycles things other teachers have used.

Glutius Maximus - Hee hee, anyone see Shrek 2? This guy doing media coverage on the royal ball was named "Gluteus to the Maximus." Anyone who knows what Gluteus Maximus means will find that hilarious.

Nutshell - The reason I don't eat much in the way of nuts. It takes a while to gets the actual nut out of the shell, then you eat the tiny thing, and you have nowhere to put the shell unless you sit next to a trash can

Lever-
My friend and I were arguing about her Might and Magic Elements - Dark Messiah game. She was playing through the tutorial, and the voice-over dude telling you what to do was all like 'The lever, Sarin!' in an American accent. Yeah. Don't really get that, since I doubt medieval old mage guys actually came from America, but whatever.
However, we're British, so we thought it should have been [LEE-ver], not [leh-ver]. Friend: What's a [leh-ver]? I dunno. But if you mean the [LEE-ver], then I shall gladly go push it for you.
And so on and so forth. XD

British - Though I was born in America, there's not a single American in my bloodline. They're all from somewhere in europe. Also, my eevee, Mikori (Inu named him) that I use for Mystery Dungeon RPs, has a British accent. And I have absolutely no clue why v-v"

Eevee - The most popular Pokemon in the whole series, maybe even more than Pikachu. Why does everyone like it so much? Maybe Ash should've got an Eevee.

Remember-
There are two 'sections' in your memory - the long-term and the short-term. The long-term memory is where you store 'important' stuff - like how to work the oven, or add numbers, or where the keys are on the keyboard. These things are stored and linked to other things with synapses. If, for example, you taste something you've tasted before, then synapses start firing and BANG! You remember what happened last time you tasted that particular flavour.
Short-term memory is for things that aren't really important, such as what you had for dinner on the nineteenth of January last year, or how many times you've blinked during the day. Things go into your short-term memory, and unless they are transferred into your long-term memory, they are forgotten in about five seconds. That's why you can be doodling in class and all not realise what the teacher just said - it went into your short-term memory and out again. You heard what they said, but you can't remember a bit of it. Same with dreams - some go into short-term memory, and some don't.
There is a person in the world who doesn't have a working short-term memory. They can just remember everything that happened to them.
And I have a long-term memory for random facts like these. XD Honestly, everything I post here is becoming a monolougue.

Random-
Listen my dearies and you'll learn the art and science of being random. Random is a word that means 'coming completely out of nowhere' or 'Unpredictable' Say you were talking about Moby dck and then someone yells 'PICKLES' Do not scorn that person. Applaude them. He/she has mastered the art of random. Random things have no relation to anything previously thought of, mentioned, or seen.
Cheating and using something around you to spurt out random is against the code and will get you expelled from the society of awesome. So nyah. Also to be truly random you must not try. Trying to be random is not truly random, because you are expecting to be random.
And so ends this speech....
KITTENS!

Cheating - A couple of my friends got permanently banned from RuneScape for going land-swimming (exploiting a complex relocation bug that allows you to swim on land) yesterday. It seems innocent enough, but part of the glitch takes you through a quest cutscene area, so apparently it counts as cheating.

Chihuahuas - When I was younger I used to pronounce the word as it was spelt - that is, instead of 'chi-waoh-wah' (the pronunciation spelling is awful, but you get the idea), I pronounced it 'chi-hooa-hooa' (again, awful pronunciation spelling but you get the idea).
My dad thought this was so hilarious he uses this improper pronunciation to this day.

Antidisestablishmentarianism- Quite possibly the strangest word I've ever heard excluding hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. (Yes I know I probably spelled that wrong) What does it even mean?!

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - Is, ironically, the fear of long words. How is anyone with the phobia able to tell people that they've got it?

Ironically- adjective form of the word ironic. Ironic is a describing word that can pretty much sum up my life completely. .-. For example I hate writing papers for school, but I love writing in general. Also writer's block visit me often, and though it haunts me everyday of my life I still love roleplaying. What up with that? (Also for a good irony filled prank take an hot chocolate lover who says coffee isn't for them, give them the hottest chocoliest mocha you can find and watch them ask. 'Man that's some good hot coco, what brand is it?'. Yay fer Coco-moo! )

Writing: My E/LA (English/Language Arts--my school is weird...) teacher is a BUTT. DX She always gives us these weird topics like, "What if you could fly whenever you wanted?" or "What if there were no wars?" and I'm immediately like, "OMIGOSH, I have SUUUUCCHH a cool story ideeaa!" And then she's all like, "NO STORIES." So we have to write, like, 'If I could fly, it would be cool. I could fly to school whenever I wanted and everyone would be jealous. Blah blah blah.' And that's too BORING for me. I NEED ACTUAL STORIES, NOT ESSAYS! DX ...I miss my old E/LA teacher. DX

Fly - I have the coolest dreams. A lot of the time, I'm just randomly able to fly. I do need to flap like a bird, but THAT DOESN'T MATTER. 'Cause I'm cool that way. I remember one dream in which I was flying around a theme park, and I was hovering above a rollercoaster, and one of the security dudes was like: "Hey, you can't fly near the roller coasters. Sorry." And it was the weirdest thing. Nobody was saying "OMG SHE'S FLYING." It was like a normal thing.
