Weekly Wrap Up (Aug. 4 - Aug. 10)


Awkward Season 1 GIF by Nanalan'Joe Trohman Question GIF by Fall Out BoyMeme Reaction GIF

Hmmm, what can all the gif's be about? 

Quick straw poll, how do they say that? Gif as (g)if or (j)if? I've always been a (g)if person myself :) 

So I survived camping, barely? :unsure: I sat down in a hammock and promptly fell over backwards and landed on my back on a tree root and knocked the wind out of myself. Still in quite a bit of pain (yes, I've seen a doctor and no broken ribs, just soft tissue damage in an awkward spot). Tore open the back of my calf on my one good leg and promptly got kicked off a zipline course :(. Sliced off the tip of my left ring finger, but not so bad that it won't grow back. But I had fun :yes: 

Well the Olympics come to a close on Sunday, maybe Monday where you are. I know sports isn't a huge thing here on the site, except for Slytherin and her NHL hockey wagering. Curious how your home country did, and did it impress you? I can't comment now for Canadia as there is still a day to go :P. But shout out to the women for rocking the competition :worship: .

Oh, nearly forgot why I was here :gikkle: Back to the Weekly Wrap Up. Here is what happened the past week on the GA News Blog.

Monday/Tuesday, Cia posted about 1 2 more Secret Author Contest entries: 

 

Tuesday we found Myr diving into the genre of Action/Adventure:

Then, to get into all the question mark gif's, Cia threw everyone the list of all the Secret Author entries and then whom all the participants were. So did you get your guesses in? Maybe not for all of them, but any that you were sure of? If you read the discussion thread, it might appear that @kbois wrote most of them :o!

Most of the action though was in the talking topic. Also the current guessing. Check it out!

 

 

Well that was it for the GA News Blog, but let us also review the Words Of the Day:

jocund, horripilation, gloaming, fugacious, lugubrious, osculate, nefarious

I got 3 :D !!!!

One of the cutest thing in the olympics was when a Chinese gymnast who won silver puts her medal in her mouth and bite it  after watching the other two gymnasts do so.. Like a little sister copying her big sisters and it’s too cute

 Need to read the Secret Author stories soon :) 

Sorry about your injuries Steve, I hope you get better soon :Steve2: :Steve2: :Steve2:

I say Gif the same way as you, and we can't have that.

During your camping trip, I found out my voodoo doll I have for you worked, best $50.00 I ever spent. :D 

I enjoy a handful of olympic sports. I watch Triathlons all year though, it is just fascinating the skill these men and women have for three disciplines and having the stamina for it. :P Also, there's strategy that goes into it with drafting, race dynamics, etc. If it is a warm day, it can get interesting with the suits and water... and such. 

Anyway! Congratulations to all the Secret Authors that took the time to participate. Hope you fooled everyone of the readers. 😮

Thanks for the update and I only knew two of the words this week.  😒

Hope you can take it easy and take care of yourself until you start to heal.  Did no one every explain to you that roughing it meant a three star hotel without a spa, not the woods...
