umm...yeah...so, everyday i have thought that i needed to post something on this blog. but then i just think..."oh, i'll do it tomorrow." well, a month of tomorrows has passed by and now i am ready to post.
over the last month i have received several fantastic words-of-the-day from my friend, and yours, merriam-webster and as much as i would like to include all of those words in this post (purely out of guilt), i will only include this one word:
quidnunc \KWID-nunk\ noun
: a person who seeks to know all the latest news or gossip : busybody
i feel like i have had an encounter of sorts with a quidnunc today. you see, my mom's best friend is someone that will go straight to the source (or in my case, the source's mother) when she hears or reads something about someone she knows.
through a random set of circumstances, this quidnunc came across my name and while having a conversation with my mother, said quidnunc decided to ask my mother about this situation. and since i am sometimes a bit orgulous, i had not shared anything about this situation with anyone in my family. and now, because of this quidnunc, everyone in my family is going to hear all about this situation.
so, today i don't like quidnuncs.
