I'm leaving!

So...if you haven't heard, I'm leaving for India on Sunday. I'm gonna be there for SIX WHOLE WEEKS!!! I think we're taking the laptop, so I'll post photos and stuff here. I'm going to have nothing to do; any suggestions? If you want, (this is kinda cheesy, but whatever) give me your address and I'll send you a postcard. I have nothing better to do.

I'll miss you guys!

Overly Used and Abused Words/Phrases.

I am proposing a challenge to me and my (so far) one follower:

Make a list of words or phrases you say far too often. It can be any length.

Go a certain period of time (a week, day, month, year? I haven't decided. Tell me what you think.) without saying any of the words on the list.

I guess I'm doing this to expand my vocabulary. And maybe it'll help me sound less dumb.

I've always also thought that saying words too often makes them lose or change their meaning, and people who use those words often sound stupid. To put it bluntly.

Here's my list:

1. irritating (this one was because I always thought people say "annoying" too much and that "annoying" was annoying. And now I say "irritating" too much.

2. Oh well. (I'm always sighing and constantly saying this.)

3. Sigh. (See 2.)

4. I dunno.

5. Whatever.

6. Sorry. (This really should be number one. I have apologized to everything, from a table to a person who wasn't there.)

7. Hrm. (Or erm. or hmmm. or er.)

8. whoops

That's all I can think of for now. And I realize my list is different than most other people's. I say strange things.

Hello.

Hey guys. It's Kristen. I have decided to publish some of my thoughts, adventures, and complaints online in hopes that someone will be entertained or inspired. I guess if no one reads it I'll just start ranting and pretend people do read it. I apologize for not being a very good writer. I'm not that great with words. Maybe this will help me get better at it. Maybe, if I can, I might write about my adventures in India this summer. Hrm. Interesting. We'll see.
