Words are great, I love words...or rather, I love a skilful usage of words. To play on words, and what is a better play on words than to play Wordfeud?
Different letters give different number of points, for example one gets 8 points for an X, C or a Z, but just 1 point for an A, D or an E. One word that gives a shitload of points is sczjyxjfc. It's just too bad that the word doesn't exist. Not all words that DO exist are accepted by the game though, for example are "emo" and "app" not words yet.

I have been wondering whether people's choice of words reflects their state of mind and their interest, somewhat similar to those Rorschah-test you know (inkblot test). "What does THIS inkblot look like Miss?" the psychatrist says and shows a picture that _clearly_ looks like a male phallus..(or...oops..is that just ME?) Just kidding. I have never done a Rorschah-test...but I have done other association games so therefor the thought has crossed my mind. I, for example, tend to play "horny" (kåt) and "whined" (kved) a lot...but the most logic reason for that is that both words are good when it comes to get use of the letter [K]. But if the words really WERE associated with the people playing it, this is how it might look like:

Michael Jackson: ”BAD”, ”PEPSI”, ”VIRGIN”,”MADE”, ”IN”, ”TAIWAN”

Jesus: ”TRICK”, ”FISHY”,"WINE" ”VIRGIN” ”HALLUCINATION”
(notice that I only heckle dead people...they can't sue)

I like Fredrik Lindström's book "Världens dåligaste språk". The book is like all books filled with words, no revolutionary thoughts there....no book filled with for example Rorschah pictures (What does THIS picture look like then Miss?, But what about this?...or that one...but surely THIS can possibly look like?...).
No, Fredrik has just words in his book, but the order and what they say please me. One of his thoughts is the freedom to create own words. In the ancient Neolithic farming society they hardly had use for words like fax, zap, blog, widget...or emo and app for that matter.
Children are more creative when it comes to making new words up. In the book Fredrik is using examples of that like meat peel (skin from a chicken) and lamp-perky (awake enough to put the light on in the morning). I, myself, remember my son's word for cactus (pain tree). But I will try to bee more creative myself. Maybe I should put down
sczjyxjfc next time I play Wordfeud ?

Today we took a photo of the staff at our school. The photgrapher wanted to take it outside and I hate that.
I always look like I am going to cry when I don't wear my sunglasses in the summer...and sometimes I even do have tears in my eyes...in my next life I want to be a vampire, then I would have a legit reason for not having pictures taken in the sun... eternal life, forever young and power to glamour people...those are awesome bonuses.

Isn't it a _little_ alike?
