Captains log 8: 6.3.11
The thought that two months in their entirety have passed since the beginning of the semester. The time seems to be literally speeding by me as if I were one of those self-propelled railcars and it were a bullet train. Yes, I know that is a strange metaphor. I am taking my teacher's advice and trying out ways to say things differently. So if we get anymore of those, just accept their existence and move on.
One I heard recently that was interesting is "stopped her advances fast like a faucet gushing dirty water." What the- ? I had to read it three times to make sure I had read it correctly. The second time to confirm what I had just read, and the third to figure out what it meant. I guess I'll never forget it, though.
Haha, then when I was reading Stephen King's the Stand. I found several other gems of colloquial sayings I might want to incorporate into my everyday use. One is "Moses in a sidecar." Another, "Rollerskating Jesus." Maybe I won't say the Jesus one, because it feels a little like taking the lord's name in vain, but the Moses one is great. Very attention grabbing.
I've also recently discovered the phrase gank and I like it. I have even used it on a couple of people. However, I feel that in the BYU bubble not too many actually understand what I am trying to convey.
I will have to collect more.
Maybe, if life continues.
Floyd, out.
