Phonetics

Today's top LOL goes to Ms. Lael Ceriani, as she called Ms. Jenni Farley by what she thought was Jenni's nickname, JWOWW. But she didn't pronounce it the way you are probably thinking she did. She uttered (phonetically) Juh-Wow.

If you didn't know, it's pronounced JAY-Wow.

Some of the questions/statements (made in my mind) that followed the immediate laughter were:

- Juh-what are you thinking?
- Juh-are you serious?
- Juh-even I've watched a few episodes.
- Juh-*wow* (the asterisks are there to specify that I said it in a special voice, some of you have heard either me or Taylor use "the voice")

Well that's enough for making fun of Lael's pop culture oblivion. Because I'd rather talk about the way that I laughed after Lael's cute slip-up.

It is no secret that I have a loud laugh. MANY teachers/leaders/authority figures have singled me out for being disruptive because I was laughing too loud. I reach levels of high-pitched noise that even dolphins admire. If you don't believe me, you can ask Susanne Morris for a personal take on how annoying it is.

I'm sad to admit that the laugh that some people compliment is not natural. It's gone through many changes. I think it's because I often cackle like a witch if I don't make any effort to control my laughter. It probably should enter a new phase, for Susanne's sake.

Well, I'm out of things to say, I just wanted to electronically remember that everyone makes mistakes, even when they're referring to one of pop culture's larger icons.



LEGGO

For those of you who didn't pick up on what font I'm using, I'll let Cody Martin tell you.


You and I have a lot in common, Cody. Anyways, I'm going to start this blog by making promises I don't intend on keeping, which is strangely similar to my 2nd and 5th marriages. 

1. I promise to avoid over-sharing (I actually take pride in how much I sound like Mrs. Francisco right now). I don't want to mentally scar you with how much you know about me, some of my friends are already like that, and now they know who I really am. I think Kendra put it best when she said that I'm "the Devil". 

2. I promise to make jokes that make sense. This post is probably already riddled with things that don't make sense, but whatever. I'm new. Like the tattoo on the back of the neck of the girl that sits in front of me in history says, "Don't Judge." (except imagine that in a flowery, cursive script)

3. I promise that I won't make any spelling or grammatical errors. They annoy me way more than they should, and I know that I'm a bad person for being as picky as I am. Especially because I probably make mistakes just like everyone else.

4. I promise not to get religious. No one likes a person that connects everything back to Jesus Christ, I'm living proof of that.

5. I promise to publish a post daily. This promise is already making my inner self laugh too hard.

Well, five is good enough for now. Hopefully this blog won't waste your homework time.
