Really WeIrD Words

Okay. There are some words like "apricity", or "philocaly", or "serendipity", or "wise". But there are also words like "moist" and "squirt" and "creamy" and "slimy" and ewwwww...

For example:

The air was very moist.

The lotion squirted out of the tube.

The creamy moisturizing lotion squirted out of the tube.

Enough?

Okay.

    There's also those words in the world like 'uxorious' and 'sesquipedalian' (my personal favorite word) and 'catoptromancy' and 'deipnosophist' which would never be used in conversation. Plus their meanings are soooo specific!

    uxorious - having or showing an excessive or submissive fondness for one's wife.
    sesquipedalian - (of a word) polysyllabic; long.
    catoptromancy - basically trying to tell the future by means of a mirror.
    deipnosophist - someone skilled in the arts of dinner conversations?!?

    then there's those words that are short and sweet, like 'erf' and 'cwm' and 'serac.' and then there's this really weird one: 'aa'. that's it. double a's and you're done.

    erf: a plot of land
    cwm: a half-open steep-sided hollow at the head of a valley or on a mountainside, formed by glacial erosion.
    serac: a pinnacle or ridge of ice on the surface of a glacier.
    aa: a kind of volcanic lava that forms jagged masses with a light frothy texture.

    there you go. some really neat words de l'anglais. (test! what does that mean!)

Oblivion: A Poem

Closed my eyes; Not that it made much of a difference It was dark anyways. And I lay there, Unmoving. Looking, But not seeing. And all that I could hear Was the silence. And when I felt the heavy blanket Settle over me Caressing every curve, Every edge, Every little imperfection; And when I felt it settle, I let it. Binding me to this bed; Binding me forever. --- Woah... I actually posted a poem! Thanks for reading (if you actually did read it)! This is my own poem that I wrote maybe a week ago (or maybe less than a week ago). Let me know what you think. <3, Pseudonym

Why Japan is Better

So, coming back from a week-long trip in Japan, I've noticed a lot of differences between Japanese culture and American culture. Here is a list of reasons "Why Japan is Better". 1. Food/Drink Do I even have to explain? Sushi. Gyudon. Ramen. Miso soup. Drinks are the bestest things ever. There's 3.6% milkfat milk and it is actually heaven. 2. Convenience There are literally vending machines with the bestest drinks ever on every other corner (in Tokyo, at least) You can take the metro anywhere and everywhere. In facts, cars are basically less convenient. The entire bottom of Tokyo is literally empty. There are people/officers posted at like every single corner so you can ask them anything (provided that you know Japanese) Convenience marts are like amazing. 7-Elevens and Lawsons (a Japanese mart) actually sell good food. Chain restaurants are still yummy. The food comes really fast. In one restaurant in Nagoya, we waited for 3 minutes and when the wait
