Re-reading

So I'm sitting down with my friend/wife/husband's wife/food giver and we're going over what I've written so far, working out a few kinks and getting rid of some awful word choices. Well, the wonderful thing about doing this is we are both rolling on the floor with laughter as we read some of the more ridiculous thing I write.

But one portion that I still proclaim is ever so important is that I keep wanting to use a word that is not in the dictionary, or at least not in the manner I want to use it. To wasp, a new verb I say. It doesn't mean anything to deal with the damn animal we all hate, but rather is more an associate of the very wimpy counter-parts of to wisp or to whisk. Yet every time I go to use the word, she laughs at me and the computer thinks I'm a retard.

So just let it be known, I'm demanding that to wasp (or as I use it in my writing, wasping) be added to the damn dictionary. Here are my reasons:
  1. it adds yet another way to briskly say the wind rustled the trees
  2. it sounds cool, yet scary because of the animal regularly associated with word
  3. It makes her want to read my blog because I go off on random tangents on wasping
As you can see, these reason alone provide without a doubt that the word should fucking exist in the dictionary. Seriously, if I can use it in common conversation, it should be something I can use in Microsoft Word without the program getting upset with me.

On another note, the writing goes well. We are currently working on making stuff work, which as you can tell from this sentence, it probably needs a lot of work. I just said work twice, that pisses me off. Six hours of sleep for the record.
