The news has been killer the last couple of days…and darn it if it’s made me actually go out and find stories and write about them. About real things. Could it be possible? I guess you can see what I’m really like this way too. I hope I don’t lose too many readers showing my snarky side.
I was reading a list of banned words for 2010 (I am so not used to typing that yet. I am sure you will find me messing it up many times.) over at Time and I thought I would tell you which words that may or may not be a part of their list that I am going to try not to use in 2010. But who am I kidding? I will probably utter them tomorrow already. I am bad at resolutions of any kind. I am a rebel and have to do the things I say I’m not going to do. So here is the list of words I don’t want to use in 2010 but probably will…
1. App – Really people….do I have an iPhone? No. I don’t need to know about the latest app. Well of course if it’s Dion Roy‘s though. I want to get his app. See, I already said it and I didn’t even get through the darn post!
2. Sexting – I mean I never really ever use this word but it just in general makes me want to cringe. I hate when people tell me they are sexting. It has dirty written all over it.
3. Friend as a verb – You know what I’m talking about. ‘Did you friend me over at Facebook?” That’s how everyone uses it. I hate it when people say that. Now, friend me over at Facebook because you know you want to. Another one that I totally failed at!
4. Bromance – 2009 was the year of the bromance, I hear it and think of Brody Jenner right away. I think that this is honestly one word that I can commit to not using ever again.
5. Chillaxin’ - I really want to know what is up this world in general. And you know I can’t say the word, chillaxin’, without making my head go funny and making my hand look like it’s scratching a record. I really don’t need to be seen doing that at all.
6. Tweet – I think this has to be the most popular word of the decade. And really you can’t expect me to not use this word at all. That’s like John Mayer‘s digital cleanse. It just won’t happen. Sorry.
7. Stimulus – I am not sure what stimulus they are talking about. Okay, I do. I am super sick of hearing about the stimulus packages everyone is getting. Maybe it ‘s a case of the jealousies.
8. In these Economic times… – Stop telling me how messed up I am because of these times. I don’t want to know that I am just a loser and I’m not making that much money. Here is another one I can commit to not using in 2010.
Here is my list. You can take it or leave it or use it against me. I will not accept blackmailing though. That would be a different post entirely.
