Vocab Conversations
Well to start off, I had a couple of conversations at baseball games this week. I tried to use some of the words and was made fun of for sounding funny. For example, I used the word assuage when Michael Guery asked me what I was doing with Jared. Jared had just made an error and I said, "I was trying to assuage Jared because of the error he made." The second word I used was epigram. A freshman on the team commented on the amount of sayings coach counts has like turn the light switch on, and you have to be mentally prepared. So, after he commented on this, I said, "Yeah, he does have a lot of epigrams." Next, another freshman asked what Michael Guery's dad does for a living. I said, "I think that he is some sort of stock mogul." And then he asked what is a mogul, so I told him. After the second game, we went to go get some cane's. As we were going, Kramer almost drove off the road. We all screamed at him and he said, "What did I do?" I then said, "You almost careened off the road dumba$$." Next after a guy hit a homerun during a game that I was not participating in, the entire dugout on his team went crazy. I turned to Coach Hawke and said, "Man, they are pretty frentic right now." And he said, "Yeah, they should be." Then after the game on the next day, we went to McDonalds for food. Somebody got a bigmac and I said, "That looks repulsive." The only thing I will eat from McDonalds is chicken sandwiches. On the last day of games, Coach Hawke played some new music on the sound system inbetween innings. "I looked to him and said, "This music has a pretty good cadence." It was music by Cream. The next one, I didn't say, but coach counts did. He said to the whole team, "I am issuing an official edict, everyone has to retrieve at least two foul balls today." So, I went down to the creek and found four. Then, I got pretty mad because a lot of people left early. Coach Wilkins asked me where they all went and I said, "I don't know, but we sure do have a lot of renegades on this team." And he left. Then for the championship game, Uhigh almost lost the game in the last few minutes of the game. I told matthew Johnson, man that was a pretty big debacle right there. He laughed because he knew I was doing work for english. After the game, I went with Michael to the woods to look for foul balls. Down there, I was chopping off leaves of trees for fun. He asked what are you doing, i said, "I am defoliating trees. Then once we jumped the creek in the woods, I noted that, "It was very verdant there because of the recent rain." Once I got home, I told my parents that, "It is nice to be back at my domicile after 12 hours at the field." I then saw my dad, working on something and I asked him, What are you fabricating, he said, "Nice vocabulary, a door for the living room." Lastly, my parents asked me what I wanted for dinner, and I said sarcastically, "I think that I have a proclivity to liver and onioins.
