Boy I can be a snot.<\/p>\n<p>Aaand that was slightly more than 8 years ago (and now we now how long it takes me to become assimilated) because here we are; I can say <i>blog<\/i> without having to spit on the ground (so many more friends do I have now that I have stopped spitting on the ground) (no I never really spit on the ground, but I did roll my eyes and we all know what that means)(sometimes it just means that I&#8217;m looking for the word in my brain and the best way to see it is by rolling my eyeballs) and there is a new word that sticks in my craw: <i>Vlog.<\/i> Short for video blog, I guess.
