Amilamia 

The complete opposite of a narcissist. The pinnacle of humility. Amilamia is every man's Gandhi, every woman's Mother Theresa. She is Aidos incarnate: reverent, temperate, and demure, yet tenderly shameless. She has a soft demeanor and can melt you with meekness, yet she can also have a lyrical soul which resembles the lilting tempo of Enya rather than Reznor. She is full of bashfulness and would never boast online of her unparalleled brilliance and diverse gifts. If you've crossed her, you will eventually Google her name out of suspicion she's written a bestselling novel featuring a negative portrayal of you à la Woody Allen's Manhattan, and stumble across this page. If you ever get the chance to take her to McDonald's, it's probably best not to ask her to buy the next sandwich.
While some may consider themselves lucky she's in their life, she remains so down-to-earth. She is such an Amilamia.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
