Getting to Know Me: #18 and #13
#18: What’s the first app you check when you wake up? (for 
ironed_orchid)
Wordament! It's rather like Microsoft's version of Boggle, and doing word games helps me to wake up. So I usually silence my alarm, sit up, and start Wordament even before I grab my glasses, so that my brain wakes up relatively quickly. It usually only takes about 3 games, but I'll play 5-10 before getting up, depending on the day. I also play when I'm bored and before going to bed--T. will cuddle me, big spoon style, and we'll play together a couple of times. We have a rule that we can never finish with a speed round, because they are kind of frustrating--looking for lots of little words doesn't seem as fun for the brain as looking for fewer big words.
#13: What’s one slang term you refuse to use? (for
pauamma)
BOGO, for "buy one, get one free deal." Ugh. I extra dislike slang made up by corporations. I also am getting to that age where I'm starting to get out of touch with teenage slang, so I haven't managed to use "on fleek" just because I'm worried I'll do it wrong.
