There was question on the word epic and as I attempted to answer said question I ended up writing a comment that was epic, but was nearly as long as the post I was commenting on so I decided that epic was an epic enough word to get it's own post!
The dictionary.com definition of the word epic is as follows: heroic; majestic; impressively great; unusually of great size or extent.
I disapprove of this definition. While it is true that the word epic defies all definition I believe they should have tried harder to fit this word into a 5 to 6 word sentence that basically sums up this wonderful word because that is an epic fail.
Epic is 'heroic, majestic, impressively great, and usually of great size or extent' but it is also much more then that. Epic is a way of being. To be truly epic you must be amazing, superb, lacking in nothing except for a down side, and in all other ways wonderfully, astonishingly, perfect.
EPIC people: Me (of course), every one I associate with, a few other people!
EPIC things: the weekend, Popsicles, days off of school, summer, the first snow of the year, a few other things!
EPIC places: St. George, that place which you call home, the place you feel safe, any where you are loved and love being, a few other places!
Taylor Lapp's definition of the word EPIC: anything, and everything that you deem to be perfectly enjoyable in every way. I hope that clears up any confusion on the word EPIC! ! !

Wally-world-third-person-sprekening(speaking for those none germen understanding types)-new-moon-watching-epicness
Well, obviously I had a good week end and I am assuming you all did also because if I assume you have had a bad weekend then you would be sad and that would be lame. Heather came home with me and we hung out with my familia making quilts and then went to walmart and bought a fabulous dinner of frozen pizza, potato chips, Mountain Dew, and skittles, then we found our friend Emma and she came home with us and ate food with us and we had fun just being us, because us is epic. Then after a while Emma had to leave and me and Heather started writing because we are writing a book together, right now it is called Anything But Perfect and is completely wonderful. It is about this boy, Forrest Evergreen, and this girl, Meghin Smith, who fall in love and they are both just the coolest peoples we ever did create.
Well obviously writing takes a lot of brain juice and finger stretching because after we were thoroughly worn out at around 1 in the morning I said that my fingers hurt for an excuse to stop typing and some how this got us to thinking about how it would turn out if all the charactors of all the books that the two of us were writing (both together and separately) and ended up talking for them for about 3 hours and because we were saying things such as 'Tristan is offended," or "Nathan says that is stupid," we ended up talking in the third person and it made us laugh and then we realized we sounded crazy and went to sleep.
Then my padre had to wake me up and ask me to clean out the fridge and freezer. SO I was and then I was putting away the groceries that he brought home and I dropped a can of corn on my big toe and it hurts reallllllllllyyyyyyyyy bad and my toe nail is the color of blue froot loops, which I am guessing is not a good thing.
Well because my toe hurt so bad we decided to go to the dollar theater to watch new moon with Emma and Cody (my toe isn't really why we went it had been the plan all along) so we ran to wal-mart in the snow (we is heather and I) and bought a bunch of candy and Cody's dad came and drove us to the theater. It was really fun mocking Edward and the cheesy-ness of it all while at the same time loveing Taylor Lautner's abs and teasing Heather and Cody because both of them like each other and both of them know it but they won't admit it because they don't want their friendship getting weird so they both decided not to admit they like each other untill they are sixteen, which is good but they would be such a cute couple and I am so excited for them to just admit that they love each other! Well when the movie was over we were waiting for Cody's dad to come get us and they all attempted to teach me how to be gangsta but I fail epically at being gangster so we gave up on that and then we went home and I hung out with my sisters, it was all pretty epic.
and that is my weekend of wally-world-third-person-sprekening (speaking)-new-moon-watching-epic-ness in case all of you were wondering!

ello!
ello,
it is the time of night that I get very tired and i was about to go to bed but then I heard the word blog on the television and was like, "Hey I have a blog! When was the last time I posted something? OH, I should fix that!" Well now that I have told you what I said to my self I will give you my opinion of valintines day
I think it will be swonderful when I have a boy who loves me and takes me out to dinner and buys me flowers and all that but until then I think I will tell every one that I think it is a made up holiday created by the candy and card indistries meant to make money and crush people when the love of their lives forgets it. Really, I don't get why people need a special day to tell someone they love them, if you love them you should tell them every day not just once a year! Gosh. Well I am tired and that tends to make me more judgemental of things.
