"The Sybil Diaries" Scholarly-Trite January 3

Day 1: Scholarly
In the novel I am currently reading, the protagonist is a trite character, and the problems she goes through are completely insipid.

Day 2: Sensuous
I tasted the best chocolate of my life today. It was so velvety and creamy and completely melted in my mouth. I have to have more.

Day 3: Simple
Today I am wearing black skinny jeans, a green sweater, and brown slouchy boots. I think I might go to the movies this afternoon.

Day 4: Slang
I hate that stupid trick. She blew up my cell phone the whole time I was in the movie, and the whole reason was to tell me about some dank party that I already knew about.

Day 5: Symbolic
I reread Twilight today, and I just now recognized the importance of the apple and how it's supposed to symbolize the forbidden.

Day 6: Trite
I'm totally into world peace now. The peace signs are so cute.

"The Sybil Diaries" Plain-Provincial December 20

Day 1: Plain
I went to Krispy Kreme today and got a chocolate glazed doughnut. It was very sweet and made me hyper.

Day 2: Poetic
I got a sappy love note in my locker today. It said "Your smile never fails to brighten my day and your green eyes remind me of a lush rain forest." I thought it was really creepy.

Day 3: Precise
The recipe calls for 2 eggs, 1 cup of flour, 1 stick of butter, and a half cup of chocolate chips. The recipe also says you can add a half cup of peanut butter, but that's optional.

Day 4: Pretentious
My new diamond earrings are only a carrat each. I was really dissapointed with the small size, so I am returning them and getting larger ones.

Day 5: Provincial
I dunno how to do my homework. It's just so confusing. I dunno what I'm gunno do.

"The Sybil Diaries" Moralistic-Pedantic December 13

Day 1: Moralistic
I basically gave my friend a lesson on honesty today. I didn't mean to, but the girl needs to stop lying. It isn't healthy.

Day 2: Obscure
I had to meet my lab partner at his house today. I'm so surprised I found it. His exact directions were to"go down that street with that big grocery store on it and then turn on the road with the dumpy gas station on it". I was so lost.

Day 3: Obtuse
I really don't understand why people are against animal testing. I mean we have to experiment on something so why not animals?

Day 4: Ordinary
I went out to lunch today. After that, I came home and worked on some school work.

Day 5: Pedantic
Today in class, we learned about neurological disorders. I think I would have understood the lesson more if the teacher hadn't of used words such as "abducens nerve" and "abulia". I was really confused.

"The Sybil Diaries" Idiomatic-Literal December 6

Day 1: Idiomatic
Today the weather was terrible. It was raining cats and dogs.

Day 2: Insipid
I went to the grocery store today. I bought a jar of pickles and a pack of gum. It was a great day.

Day 3: Jargon
Today I had to pretend to be an astronaut for an exercise in class. I had to say "All systems go. We are ready for lift off." I felt incredibly lame.

Day 4: Learned
Today I had to present my extra credit project to the class about the Holocaust. I used the knowledge I had gained from visiting the Holocaust museum in Washington DC.

Day 5: Literal
I stumped my big toe on the coffee table today. It chipped my hot pink nail polish a little bit. It hurt for a good 5 minutes.

"The Sybil Diaries" Exact-Homespun November 29

Day 1: Exact
Today, I had to baby-sit my nephew, and we played "Simon Says". He enjoyed the game very much especially when I said, "Simon says hop on your left foot while patting the top of your head with your right hand for a straight 30 seconds". He never could do it and fell everytime, but he couldn't stop laughing.

Day 2: Figurative
Today in art, the class was being terrible. We had one kid barking in class and crawling all over the floor. The teacher told us to knock some since into him. Soon after he said that, he quickly rushed out of the room. I bet he's going to quit.

Day 3: Formal
It was so funny today in class. These two girls got in an argument over something petty. Ashley told Sarah that she was mean, and then Sarah went off on the poor girl. "How am I mean? You say I'm mean, but you have no backing for your claim. You are completely ignorant and incompetant." Ashley looked confused, and I couldn't help but laugh.

Day 4: Grotesque
We had to take my dog to the vet today because something is wrong with her eye. It keeps oozing this nasty puss-like fluid. Then the fluid dries and creates crust. It's disgusting.

Day 5: Homespun
I heard the most country boy at the DMV today. He had the most twangy accent. He just kept talking about "coon huntin'" and how his "Paw" was going to buy him some type of gun. He also said something about how he killed his own "gobbler" for Thanksgiving dinner.

"The Sybil Diaries" Cultured-Euphemistic November 29

Day 1: Cultured
I was looking through the Nordstrom's catalogue today. There was a model in there and her smile reminded me of the "Mona Lisa".

Day 2: Detached
My dog died this morning. I had to step over her body as I was rushing out the door because I was late for school.

Day 3: Emotional
Today, I went to this cute little boutique and found the most adorable sweater. It was seriously the cutest sweater I have ever seen before. I just had to buy it!

Day 4: Esoteric
I found out today that Benefit has this new mascara coming out. It's like the "Get Bent" but doesn't get clumpy.

Day 5: Euphemistic
My aunt told me today that her marriage to the old man was one of convience.

"The Sybil Diaries" Artificial-Connotative November 22

Day 1: Artificial
Today I saw an advertisement in a magazine about some new weight loss program. It includes fast working supplements not available anywhere else. The weight loss smoothie is apparently completely safe, but it must be ordered online because it's not FDA approved. I wonder if it works.

Day 2: Bombastic
We won our cheerleading competition today. Our scores were so high because of our tumbling. I totally carry the team, and I'm the only reason we got a bid to nationals. My skills exceed those of everyone else on the squad.

Day 3: Colloquial
I went to a party last night. It was pretty dank. I hope that hot guy will call me up later so we can chill.

Day 4: Concrete
I've already started my birthday list. I want an I-pod touch and a pair of Kate Spade sunglasses.

Day 5: Connotative
I saw this girl I used to know today at the mall. I know for a fact she is a straight A student and she sings in her church's choir, but her clothes totally give the wrong impression. She wore a tight black belly shirt and a denim mini so short that left nothing to the imagination. It was gross.
