OCD And Other Acronyms

What are your thoughts on acronyms? Love 'em, hate 'em? At first glance, they may seem like lazy ways of saying something. BUT. If you really think about it (yes, yes...these are the kinds of things I think about) it's quite bothersome. You have to think about every first letter of each word and keep track of all of them, keep them in order, etc. Plus, there's always the troubling dilemma of taking the "a"s and the "the"s into account. And! Do you put periods in between each letter?
Hmm.
Such.A.Hard.Decision.
See, everyone knows the common acronyms- ASAP, RSVP, among many others.
But what on earth does SSSE or LLATL or CID mean?
You'd have to ask my little sister that.
She walks around saying "La La Lattle" (LLATL)...which is her Learning Language Arts Through Literature book...which, I admit is a mouthful and a handful to write. But still.
And for the record...SSSE is Steve Spangler Science Experiment and CID is caller I.D. :p
Anywho. What if we all thought in acronyms? All the time. This is what I would be saying...
IMHJRTPP- I may have just ruined the pumpkin pie...Oops.
IMMA- I miss my Annapolis...True story.
ILTW- I love Tyler Ward.
TVWHBBWAGS- That video would have been better without a girl singer...I dislike female singers. Except for a few. But even they get on my nerves after a while.
CEIEOMA- Christmas Eve is exactly one month away...Nyesss.
IWICDT- I wish I could do this...For real.
IOSTMTOYT- I obviously spend too much time on Youtube !
OCDHANM- OCD has a new meaning...wait what?
Yes. I am now two kinds of OCD! Obsessive Compulsive Disorder...slightly. Or so says my sister...
But anyway, apparently, OCD can mean....Obsessive Christmas Disorder! Hehe.
Which I most definitely am. I'm kind of...counting down the seconds until the clock strikes midnight tomorrow so I can break out the Christmas music!
I love Christmas...but that's for another post for another day :)

HT! (Happy Thanksgiving!)
