  • MLIA Monday


    On occasion, I'll waste some time at MyLifeIsAverage.com, and I thought I'd give you the opportunity to waste a few minutes of yours with a few recent ones I've enjoyed.

    Today, my sister got a letter from a college she had applied to. The envelope was purple and there was confetti inside. They must really want her to go there. MLIA

    Not gonna lie, this would make me reconsider whether I would attend, unless they were somehow a very engineering/nerdy sort of confetti.

    Today, I had to cut my lawn, so I put my Ipod on and turned the music all the way up so I wouldn't have to hear the lawn mower. 30 minutes after pushing the lawn mower around I realized that I had never turned it on. MLIA

    Not gonna lie, I would cry. Or at least I would (secretly) want to. Only for a little while. Where no one could see me.

    Today, while cleaning out my attic, I found a gigantic blanket my grandma knitted me when I was a kid. I asked my mom why it was so huge. Her response? My grandma knew I liked to make forts cover my entire bedroom. Best grandma ever. MLIA

    We would have made good friends. Blanket forts ftw.

    Today, I watched in amusement as my little sister showed my mother how to open a child-proof pill bottle. MLIA.

    Reading this provided me much amusement.

    Today, I realized that the word "huddle" is a combination of the words "hug" and "cuddle." Suddenly the football teams huddles seem a lot less manly. MLIA

    Reminded me a lot of this.

    I was reading a Wikipedia article today about books. I then noticed the various languages offered on the left side of the website. In particular, I noticed "Simple English." Curious, I clicked it. It makes all of the big words go away and only leaves definitions and words that anyone would understand. I had no idea anyone did this. Awesome. MLIA.

    After I read this, I had to check it out for myself, and "Simple English" does exist! Check out the normal and the simple English entries on books for an example. To tell the truth, I was hoping that the Coriolis effect or structure factor would be on there. Would have made studying for Dynamics and Materials Characterization easier...

    Enough from me. Which one(s) did you enjoy the most?

  • My Life Is Average.


    I was looking at the My Life Is Average website today in class (don't tell my prof), and here are a few that I enjoyed the most (thought I would share them with you...):

    "A few weeks ago, my English teacher gave my class an assignment to write a business letter, and we actually had to mail the letter. I wrote a letter to M&Ms, requesting that each bag of M&Ms contain more green ones. Today, I received a box of green M&Ms in the mail. MLIA."
    Score!

    "Last week, for a school assembly a guy with a British accent came in to do a reptile show for the school. He showed us his python named "Monty". I started laughing violently. No one else got it. MLIA"
    Hahahaha!

    "Today, while working at my job as the keeper for the lorikeet exhibit at the zoo, I got very bored and began singing to myself. The second I did, 5 birds flew to me and landed across my arms. The little girl who saw this immediately ran to her mom and yelled "You SEE?? Snow White IS real!!!" and pointed at me. Best moment of my life. MLIA"
    Win.

    "Today, I was stealing some ice cream from one of my roommates. As I sat down to watch some TV, he walked out of his bedroom with my other roommate's bag of potato chips. Right after that, the other roommate walked into the room, with one of my cans of pop. Without a word, we all passed the food to its respective owner, and went back to what we were doing. MLIA"
    LOL!

    "Today, I went out to eat with my dad at a nice restaurant. The waitress came to the table and said, "Aww, is he your dad?" And I said, "Nah, he's just some guy I met on the internet." The look on her face made my day. MLIA."
    Don't try this at home. (Or at a restaurant...)

    I hope at least one of these made your day/week/hour. Have a good one, and remember not to spend too much time in front of a screen today!
