Funny story #1

By

 If you came here by reading my blog I posted yesterday then thank you. I promised to tell you all about something hysterical  so here it is.


I like learning new words so that I can increase my vocabulary for the essays I write. I was looking for the word appalled which means shocked. I knew its meaning but I was checking to confirm it. First I looked up in my ancient  dictionary but I could not find it there, which by the way I checked is 25 years old . I wrote about it in my blog
http://dangitgirl.blogspot.com/2021/03/dictionary.html. Read it if you like this story.

Now I searched for the meaning of appalled on Goggle the omniscient.I wrote the exact words "Appalled meaning" and what came up blew my mind or I should say appalled me. The meaning of the word was shocked so that was fine but its use in a sentence was so hilarious. It described my current situation and I thought how does vocabulary.com know about me?
The sentence was "Being appalled happens suddenly, like when you find out your little sister has been blogging about your family, telling embarrassing stories."

My first reaction was "Who wrote about me online?!" I reread it because I thought I have read the sentence wrong but I had not. I was literally laughing for five minutes straight. I just couldn't believe it. The Internet indeed is a funny place ,you never know what you can come across.
 I still have not told a lot of embarrassing stories but I have for sure told some on my blog.If my elder sibling gets to know from somewhere that I write a blog, I know this will be the reaction.
This is the link to the meaning if you want to check it out -

Thats all for now.Ciao ;)
Still an average teenager hoping for a blissful life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

22 BEST QUOTES FROM ONE OF US IS LYING BY KAREN M. MCMANUS

Here are the 22 best quotes I found in the book One of Us is Lying. It's a good book. I read it 3 months ago. The book is about four people who are suspects in the death of a fellow student. But you are here for the Quotes not the story so I won't bore you with the story(I will give a gist at the end though, basically I complain about the characters). The quotes are not just good and mind-blowing, amazing things(more words like that) the people said in the book, there are also lines which I found funny and amusing. You should know that finding lines that have enough context to qualify as funny is hard. So sometimes I have to turn the lines into paragraphs like I had to do in  Turtles All The Way Down . But trust me that one was so worth it cause I love that book. So here they are -  Justin is twelve years younger than my mother, which makes him five years younger than her second husband, and fifteen years younger than my dad. At the rate she’s going, she’ll date Jake next. Bec...

BEST QUOTES FROM TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN BY JOHN GREEN

  I was beginning to learn that your life is a story told about you, not one that you tell. You think you’re the painter, but you’re the canvas . I thought about how we all believed ourselves to be the hero of some personal epic, when in fact we were basically identical organisms colonizing a vast and windowless room. Was thinking that if half the cells inside of you are not you, doesn’t that challenge the whole notion of me as a singular pronoun, let alone as the author of my fate? We were looking at the same sky together, which is maybe more intimate than eye contact anyway. Anybody can look at you. It’s quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see. Maybe you’ve been in love. I mean real love, the kind my grandmother used to describe by quoting the apostle Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians, the love that is kind and patient, that does not envy or boast, that beareth all things and believeth all things and endureth all things. I don’t like to throw the L-word a...

  According to science, you start off as coal and you end up as coal This isn’t a non-profit organisation. Though I have to say it is rapidly becoming one. She realised that’s what she was. A black hole. A dying star, collapsing in on itself The silence was louder than noise. The good stuff makes it worthwhile Why are you just standing in the middle of the room? Are you getting ready for bed or are you doing some kind of standing meditation? Fish get depressed when they have a lack of stimulation. A lack of everything. When they are just there, floating in a tank that resembles nothing at all. Maybe in some lives you just float around and expect nothing else and don’t even try to change. Maybe that was most lives. Most gossip is envy in disguise It can drive you insane, thinking of all the other lives we don’t live Places are places and memories are memories and life is fucking life. ‘I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.’ He believed that the more peo...

10 BEST QUOTES FROM I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS BY IAN REID

10 BEST QUOTES FROM I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS BY IAN REID Here is a list of the best quotes I found from the book I'm Thinking of Ending Things By Ian Reid.  Part of everything will always be forgettable. No matter how good or remarkable it is. It literally has to be. “Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought.” And it’s thoughts that count. Thought is reality. Actions can be faked. I think a lot of what we learn about others isn’t what they tell us.  It’s what we observe . People can tell us anything they want.  It’s amazing that relationships can form and last under the constraints of never fully knowing. Never knowing for sure what the other person is thinking. Never knowing for sure who a person is. “I guess so. In space, everything has its relative position. Space is an entity, right, but also limitless. It’s less dense the farther out you go, but you can always ke...
