Here are two things that I would do if I could: 1) Invent loads of strange words (i.e. qtes) so that the next time that I am playing Scrabble I will be able to cheat. If my opponent "calls" me own one of these little beauties, I will just say "Hey, let's look it up in my dictionary" and there it will be....:) :) :):) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) 2) I would scan in pictures of people I know and "link" them with specific definitions. So the next time I say something like : "She is so stubborn!, If you look up 'stubborn' in the dictionary, it will have her picture there!", I will mean it! Enough of my incoherent ramblings!
