#entry 67

Day 193, and I’m 47 feet tall, plus an inch. I can’t wait for the day I start growing faster!

I want to address this to █.

(OC: Date [12-10-2016] Day[Wednesday])

*This diary entry has no title*

*The writing on this page seems rushed and pressed down hard. This implying she was in a bad mood during writing.*

As you have already admitted, I am sure you are reading this now. Don’t worry. I won’t be cocky in MY journal. So you won’t have to blow my head off like you said you would if I was. I am so happy you helped yourself to my privacy and then threaten me with it. It is a good feeling to feel insecure about writing in my own diary. Its also nice that you won’t speak to me after I nearly died to keep you safe. How you made me feel bad for you and didn’t even give me the time I needed to speak. You could die in the next few days. Executed because this druid town was attacked when you ordered me to leave. It also really, really left me feeling great when you left Ogrimmar to possibly face dead... and you completely ignored me.  And I am going to get blamed for that. I already am. Ara’ni already threatened me if you died. Is this what I get for loving you? I don’t know what I did to offend you so much. But if you make it back from this trial, I want to talk. I need to know whats wrong…

And you have to stop reading my diary without my permission…

I love you Sylvarys… but something is wrong and you won’t tell me.

 OOC Note to self on the days events:

Irelia spoke to Narindiel about her concerns from yesterday. Noted her wounds and recovery.

She went inside to change. Came out and realized she had not passed on the information to the others.

She was spoke to by the three high overseers. They made her run the mission herself.

She leaves, runs the mission with moderate success (If I do say so myself). And eventually gets back to the druid place.

It was attacked because they left. Sylvarys tries to guild Irelia by putting the deaths of three druids on her. It doesn’t work.

Sylvarys TPs everyone back to orgrimmar. He leaves to stand trial for the fact the warband was not present during the attack. His life might be taken for it.

Ara’ni tries to blame everything on Irelia. She doesn’t accept it for the reason of she was ordered to lead the mission.

Irelia gets frustrated about being back in org, sylv on trial, being blamed, not being able to fight the legion… etc… she isn’t in a good mood right now.  

"I don't like you like you, I just like you."

It's been years since I've seen this episode of Hey Arnold, but I'll never forgot this classic scene.

So I decided to google this phenomenon, which is apparently given a fancy-schmancy (see what I did there?) name: contrastive reduplication. It is done to be humorous, to clarify ambiguity, and to intensify or emphasize (x).

I wonder what other languages use reduplication, and how they use it?

On this page, one commenter complains about reduplication, particularly in the case of "cutesy wutesy childish speech." I remember learning in my Speech and Language Development class that there is evidence "cutesy wutesy" speech might actually help with first language acquisition.

Before I finish this entry, I can't resist mentioning my favorite example of reduplication--the moon moon meme. (I had a favorite example of reduplication before I knew what reduplication was.)

I've gotten more sleep today than I have all week.

I'm still really tired.

Sleep is important to your body.

It's also time consuming.
