The Origin of Devil Forks
In the 11th century, Italy nobles used forks regularly. France started using forks in 14th century. A guy named, Thomas Coryat, tried to start the tradition of using forks, but many people mocked him. They started calling him "Furcifer". That is when I realized that, maybe that is where Devil Forks come from. Weird, isn't it?
Some countries still haven't changed. For example, in Thailand, it is still considered scandalous to bring a food into your mouth using a fork. You can only use a fork to bring the food on the spoon and then you can eat the food. I never thought eating food could be so overwhelming!!
Similies
A flower is as beautiful as the Nile River when it cascades down the magnificent slopes.
The beach stretched out like the moonless black sky.
Her back, curved like the domes of those countless years old Greece churches.
The skateboarder, flying down the hill, like a hawk swooping down from the sky, about to pick up a prairie dog from the desert.
As crazy as the drunk hobo who chased me for 20 blocks.
The child danced through the fields like an Egyptian dancer trying to impress and emperor.
The day passed as slowly as two couples who are sauntering on a beautiful moonlit sidewalk.
The teacher's voice was as quiet as a hunter trying to spring a trap on a fierce lion.
He spun around as fast as if one second was an hour for him.

Mistical Characters
If you are mysterious and adventurous, then you would be a VAMPIRE. It would be cool to be a vampire. By vampire, I mean a Twilight kind of vampire. You are beautiful and very selfless. You know when you are out numbered and you know how to persevere. You are very lovable and loving. You don't like to be in the middle of attention, but you do like it when people give you some attention once in a while. Something I would like to advice you is don't be overconfident, just because you are close to perfect and beautiful or don't completely forget about yourself. What I am trying to tell you is try to balance things out.
If you are beautiful and care a lot about your outfit, makeup, and all those stuff then you are a MERMAID. You are rich and your beauty is radiant. Every body envies you beauty, in a good way. You have a lot of friends and a lot of people have a crush on you. But, make sure that you have real friends. Also, don't be very obsessed with you looks. I am not saying looks are not important, I am just saying that there are thing that are more important than looks. Ones in a while try to give some of your money to the homeless or to charities, not only are you making other people's life easier, you will also feel good inside. That is a win, win situation.
If you are caring, giving, and care a lot about other people, then you are a FAIRY. You like to do community work and help the environment by recycling. You love animals and plants. You have a very giving heart and you are also really forgiving. You think little kids are adorable (which they are) , and you like to spend time with them. You have an amazing personality, just make sure that you think about yourself ones in a while, because in between of doing all those good deeds, you might be hurting yourself. Also, being nice to others doesn't mean agreeing with them all the time, so stand up for yourself, when you need to and show other people that you are as tough as anyone.
If you have a lot of friends, like to watch things happen in the sidelines, and don't like when all the attention on you, then you are a WARE WOLF. You might think it is a bad thing to be a werewolf, but it isn't. If people met you, they will have a completely different opinion about werewolves. You are the reasonable one and your friends always come to you when they have a problem. You don't like to gossip or start rumors. Being the guidance counselor of you group is awesome, but sometimes you have to let other people be your guidance counselor. It doesn't have to be your friend. It can be anybody. Bottling up you feelings can lead you into doing something rash or something you don't want to do.
If you are quiet, focused, and always up for a challenge then you are a DRAGON. You know where you are going. You are very ambitious and you know what you are going to in the future. You are always very busy and are mature for you age. You are all business and no nonsense. You will probably be a CEO of some large company or work in the congress, when you grow up. You really like to spend you time with adults. There is nothing wrong with being ambitious, but it is good for you to go out there and have fun sometimes. Try to make more friends, that are your age. That way you will have a balanced life, because you can only be a teen once and there is a lot time to be an adult.

Cool and Funny Words
My other favorite word is womba, which means very big. It is not an actual word, but I just like saying it. The weird thing is not many people use that word. I don't know why, I mean it is a great word. People use words like "ginormus", "gimangus", and other words. I think they should include "womba" into their vocabulary, because it is funny. Every time things are tense or awkward around me i say that word and every body starts laughing.
I also like the word ha ha. It means mother in Japanese. I don't mean to be prejudice, I just love some Japanese words. They are really funny and cool. I actually admire their creativity.
Another word I like is "confuzelled". Obviously, it is not a real word, but I really like to say it sometimes. I means confused or frustrated. Even though i don't say it as much as the other words I still like the meaning and the little twist from the real world. It is a great word.
You can use my words, if you want to. I think you should use them, because they are a great secret weapon. You can use them, if you don't want people to understand what you are saying or if you don't want adults to understand what you mean. You might as well be speaking a different language, when you are using these words (which you kind of are), especially if you are speaking to adults.
Right now, I am trying to create a list of funny or clever words, so if you have some words that you think are funny then feel free to add to let me know by commenting. Meanwhile, I keep trying to find some funny words and I will post it, so don't forget to check my blog. I will try to keep it updated. Also, I will add at least three or four words each month.
