If you've learned to speak fluent English, you must be a genius!

Pursue at your leisure, English lovers. Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn:

The bandage was wound around the wound.
The farm was used to produce produce.
The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
We must polish the Polish furniture.
He could lead if he would get the lead out.
The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
I did not object to the object.
The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
They were too close to the door to close it.
The buck does funny things when the does are present.
A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
After a number of injections my jaw got number.
Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France (surprise!).

Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. Quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose two geese, so one moose, two meese? Doesn't it seem crazy, that you can make amends but not one amend. If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? Is it an odd, or an end?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?

Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

P.S. Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"?

NHL 2006

Today we went birthday present shopping for my niece Erica.. She will be 3 soon. Yikes the time sure does fly. Anyway while we were @ Wally World.. we (my bro and I) wanted to look in the electronic department.. I wanted to look at cds and my bro always wants to look at the video/computer games. Anyway I spotted the game NHL 2006 for PC..and I was like ooooh its only 10 bux. So I ended up getting it along with a vest.. And both didn't cost me a cent.. lol. I got them both as a belated Christmas present since the other thing I got before, I already had.
I also bought my niece a gift.. PLAYDOUGH... oooh that gooey stuff that is fun.

So when we got home I had to try out my new game. It is pretty cool. It is harder than NHL 2001 that we have for PC. But the graphics are really cool. Its awesome when you score hat tricks.. hats with NHL 2006 go flying all around the players. I can't wait to see what its like when you win the Stanley cup. I tried this other mode for playing call free for all. I put in big heads.. lol. They looked like those silly bobble head guys.
Anyway.. yeah I am looking forward to playing it again when I have more time..

YP's Formal Dinner..& Volleyball

So I went down to the dinner in Ancaster not knowing really to expect.

I knew some of the people there. Not too many were at my table unfortunately :(

Oh well. I saw Jen and Carrie who I met at the Sheffield Conference and talked to them for a little while. We talked such random talk. lol. Talked about upcoming events like the Woodstock conf. and then they said something about the ST. Thomas New Years festivities. I said that I was sick on New Year's Eve with the flu and then I didn't work. Then we randomly started talking about getting sick and if or not to get the flu shot. From there we talked about "spleens" Yeah talk about random.. I said that I didn't have one anymore since I had a cyst in mine a few summers back and had it removed in December of 2005( I think it was that year..) (I have a horrible memory as you will be able to tell when you see the pictures)

Jen said that her brother had the same thing happen to him..with a cyst and had his spleen removed.

After the dinner, I went back to my sister and brother-in-law's place and spent the night. Then today I went and watched their volleyball tournament. I was kind of tired since I couldn't fall asleep right away and the bed didn't feel like "mine" I have at home. Anyway..I saw a few people I knew... like Ashely...who I haven't seen in a looooooooong time. I think the Dunnville conf was the last time I've seen her in person.. and that was back in May.. back when me and...were together... well thats a differnt story which I'd rather not get into..:S

Then I hung out with Karissa and the St. Thomas people for a bit. Yeah I admit that I am a tag-a-long person.. Sorry everyone, but I felt so alone since I'm from Barrie and the only one from my church/area who comes out to any event and I wanted to make some new friends.

The best part of the day.. was when Scott was on his cell talking to Joel..or he thought he was talking to him.. He was bragging on how well his team was doing and well.. then the phone started to ring while he was talking.. Then he realized he was talking to no1! Haha.. It was something you had to be there for. Anyway I left after my sister's final game. Drove the long 2 hour drive home. Got stuck in some traffic.

Man I can not stand stop and go. It is soooo annoying. You finally start driving then have to step on the brakes to avoid hitting the car infront of you. Anyway.. somehow I managed to get home in 2 hours if not less.. (not that I drive to too fast..)

Well its good to be home again..

Can't wait till the next conference/event..

How come???

Ok, I've been wondering...how come non dutch people think its alright for a girl to tell a guy that she likes him, but dutch people think that they should never tell a guy that she likes him??

Cuz today this man at work told me that I should have told this one guy that I liked him.. but it was hard to explain to this man..that it should be the male who go after the female..
And some guys who I've asked this question..just a little bit differently..said that they wouldn't care if a girl told them or not..and some said that it would be good for a girl to.. But...those guys I asked.. were all DESPERATE..so that might make a difference.
