I was walking down the hall today and saw a little project that someone did for school. It was one of those cute "what do your parents do at work?" things, complete with a scribbled drawing on the top and misshapen letters on super-sized, double-lined writing paper. A few sentences in, she says something about her dad's "awsome office", and I thought to myself, "People say 'awesome' in first grade nowadays?" It was always so odd to say "awesome" when I was that age, you know, back when "awesome" was still a surf's-up, hang-ten kind of word, but I guess it really is more common now.

My generation's it word was definitely "cool", and I say it often enough. I say "awesome", too, but that's just because I'm highly suggestible, and I'm a product of society. :D I wish I were in the generation of "gnarly", because as it is now, I'm the only one who giggles when someone describes a tree that way.


They've restocked the coffee room with hot chocolate. THANK GOD. Coffee is putrid. How anyone can drink it black is beyond me.

My generation's it word is groovy! Oh wait...I think that was a couple generations ago X_x;

Yeah, I think you're off a bit. :P "Groovy" is definitely a cool word, though. I laugh when people say, "That sidewalk is groovy." Though I've never actually heard that, so never mind. :(
