You know you're a language nerd when...

So I signed up for the dictionary.com Word of the Day feed (becuase I am a language nerd) and it turns out that I already know just about all of the words that they're giving out. Some of them are pretty normal words (kind of interesting ones I grant you, but still quite basic), but some of them are ones that aren't quite as well known and I still know what they are. It's kinda weird because this wasdefinately not why I signed up for it, but it's okay becuase I still like seeing words, and they also have the etymology for them. I heart etymology.

Also, speaking of words, I just realized that I can now tell you guys which stories I wrote for yuletide. I wrote two this year, which I still think was a CRAZY idea, and both were for books.

This Story Isn't About Nita was written for LC and is set at the end of the fifth book in the Diane Duane Young Wizards Series (which apparently has a bunch more books in the series now that I haven't read yet). It's kinda sad, but I think that it turned out really well. It got a bunch of comments anyway.

And The Man With Blue Eyes, written for Ion Bond which is set in The Ear, The Eye and the Arm by Nancy Farmer (which is a really fun read for any of you who haven't read it yet). It's the only story to be written in this fandom in all of Yuletide, which I think is kinda cool actually.

Also Also I now own two Goldfish. Pictures of Bertram and Princess Trina will come later. For now they are awesome and seem to be getting along fantabulously well. I need to get them a plant.
