Confession of the Week<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I have a thing about the names for animal groupings. I think it’s the writer in me always looking for different ways to look at and add description. Or the fact I’m a word geek.<\/p>\n

Penguins<\/a> live in large groups, and there are several different names for these groups.\u00a0 When they group together on land, they are known as a waddle.\u00a0 When the group is nesting, they are called a rookery.\u00a0 When the group of penguins is found in the water, they are known as a raft.\u00a0 On certain occasions, baby penguins form a group inside the larger group, which is known as a creche (kresh).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Great Book Quote<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHe looked like every glossy frat boy in every nerd movie ever made, like every popular town boy who\u2019d ever looked right through her in high school, like every rotten rich kid who\u2019d ever belonged where she hadn\u2019t.” Jennifer Crusie, Welcome to Temptation<\/p>\n

Not a word about his chiseled jaw or piercing blue eyes but you still get the picture. Love it.<\/p>\n
