Try Something New Revolution

To whomever's out there:

   As Callie just recently mentioned it is Midterms. So I am going to have to make this quick. I found out about this awhile ago yet I didn't think of writing a blog post about it until now.

Thanks to the Youtube community (especially missxrojas), I found out that there is something called the Try Something New Revolution. Now I know New Years has passed and if you are anything like me you have already failed most of your New Years Revolutions.  But this is something really cool that is going on for the entire month of January so don't worry you still have time. Each day they give you something to do to well Try Something New. It's really fun and a great idea to get the people involved in making the world a tiny bit more awesome :)

An example of a task or mission is for example yesterday the task was to include 3 unusual words into conversations. I loved this challenge and just came up with a list of unusual words that I was using throughout the day.

Some of my words include:
nelipot- Someone who walks barefoot
abacinate- to blind by putting a hot copper basin near someone's eyes
(I told my friend that my other friend wants to abacinate me.)
Basorexia- an overwhelming desire to kiss someone
(I asked someone if they suffered from basorexia)
Lalochezia- the use of foul or abusing language to relieve pain or stress
Callipygean- this word I actually learned from reading the book Anna and the French Kiss and it is still one of my favorite words. And in the spirit of Stephanie Perkins I will tell you to "Look it up lazy..." Butt (in the book this word is a** but since this is on the internet I'm just going to say this instead)!

Here is the website where I got the unusual words. There really funny and interesting so I suggest look at it :)
