Such a Nerd

As I was sitting here doing my homework, I realized that I have some weird...hobbies? I am not really sure what to classify them as. To quickly note some of these quirks...

1. Lexicons! I have adapted this odd habit of looking up words. My time on the computer usually is split between email, facebook, blogs, and dictionary.com. I like finding new words. (Nerd alert) I have even signed up for this word of the day email. I find it very sad that I look forward to those daily emails. Quite depressing. Despite this, I still feel my vocabulary hasn't grown very much. My memory is terrible. No matter what, Chan can incisively extirpate me in scrabble any day.

(incisive was yesterdays word of the day =) )
*I was reading a xanga of a friend of mine and ran into the word catharsis. Great word! bravo!
catharsis- purging of emotions

In my findings, the word that I discovered to be the most idiotic is felled. As in, I felled the cup.
felled- causing something to fall by force
no matter how many times I say it, it never sounds right.

2. Movie Reviews/Trailers! I dont know why they are so appealing to me. I just really like to read movie reviews. They are just so fascinating. (God I am lame) Also, I am ebullient about movie trailers. They are my favorite part about going out to the movies. Maybe its the marketing schemes behind it and the shortness in length that appeals to my low attention span. Trailers are great because who doesnt want to watch a whole movie in about 2 minutes. You get the best scenes! Also, while i am on this subject, I am fervent about writing a Watchmen analysis/review.

Those are two of my many lame hobbies. Yes yes yes, I am a nerd.
