NaBloPoMo?

November is NaBloPoMo, which stands for "National Blog Post Month". The challenge is to write one post a day for the entire month. Despite the fact that this is a very busy month for me, I've been toying with the idea. I always like a good challenge, plus it might be nice to get my writing groove back. They don't have to be very long or meaty posts either.

So tonight I leave you with a very funny moment in toddler linguistics. Little Dude pronounces the word "corn" with a "p" sound at the beginning for some reason. So you can imagine how funny it was when he saw the giant display of clearance candy at Target today and shouted excitedly: "candy corn!"

PS--This month I will be guest posting on Wednesdays over at Segullah.

when my son was little he went through a stage where he started every word with "F" and he didn't do his "R"s so well. So Mr. Rogers was "Fwogers", etc. Um, the only problem being that he really really liked trucks, which he said something like "fwuk."

I liked your Segullah post. Working at a high school, I think about such things a LOT.

I had one that pronouned both "fox" and "trucks" in a way that made it impossible to bring any books in public with either foxes or trucks in them.

Oh. I just noticed the last line of this post. I guess my comment wasn't so unrelated after all.

And since I'm back, how about a shameless shill?

It seems that NaBloPoMo should have something to do with post-modernism. That just goes to show I have literary theory on the brain. One of my ex-boyfriends replaced "tr" with "f" when he was little. In one of his home videos, he got really excited about getting a fire truck for his birthday, and hilarity ensued.

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".

Coming Out in Public

A little over 6 years ago I was on my mission in Madrid. I was transferred to new area at the same time as another elder. I remember asking him if was really from Hawaii, since he was so tall and blonde. We ended up serving together in the same district for nearly seven and a half months and had a lot of good times together. He was actually nice to the sisters and a hard worker, without being too zealous and overbearing. I knew he was going home just a month before me and planning on being an English major when he got back to BYU. When I was transferred out of that area, we exchanged emails and addresses and promised to get back in touch some day, like I did with a lot of other missionaries. I got home in January and started trying to contact some of the people I'd been friends with back in the mission. I emailed this particular elder and found out that he had gone to the computer lab that very day in order to email me. We started emailing each other and talked on the phone a few t...
