Architeuthis Dux \är(,)- chē – tüth(,)is  düks\ (L. Chief Squid Leader)
n. a deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family Architeuthidae, represented by as many as eight species. Giant squid can grow to a tremendous size: recent estimates put the maximum size at 13 meters (43 ft) for females and 10 meters (33 ft) for males from caudal fin to the tip of the two long tentacles (second only to the colossal squid at an estimated 14 meters (46 ft), one of the largest living organisms). The mantle is about 2 meters (6.6 ft) long (more for females, less for males), and the length of the squid excluding its tentacles is about 5 meters (16 ft). There have been claims reported of specimens of up to 20 meters (66 ft), but no animals of such size have been scientifically documented.

Archi Teuthis \archee toothis\ (L. Chief Squid)
n. a pink haired, green eyed female. Her parents say she will grow to be five-foot-ten, but recent estimates put her at least four inches below that mark.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a revamping of my profile so here goes :)

My name is not Archi Teuthis, but is just as equally interesting. The etymology of it can be connected to King Arthur, U2, potatoes, bureaucracy, and probably fake accents [along with the usual boring love, death, and apples theme].

My hair really is pink. Little girls love to point that out to me. It’s also the go-to opening line when guys meet me, apparently.

I walked around without glasses for four years. Nobody can figure out how I got a driver’s license.

I tried snowboarding and had a mild panic attack when I couldn’t detach my feet from the board.

My cat pushes me out of the bed on a regular basis.

I can’t do simple math in my head. It’s embarrassing.

I use sound effects as words much too often. For example: “I was just, like, phyooph, you know?”

When I do my Huntington Beach Cali-girl accent and bobble my head it really freaks people out. [“Like, oh my GAWD! Gag me with a spoon!”]

I use brackets instead of parentheses [and I don’t see a problem with it].

I love my penguin watch necklace and wear it every day. The penguin has a watch for a stomach and looks more than perturbed about it; but I think it’s cute.

I can’t pronounce “statistic” but I can say “Liliʻuokalani”. Sample of my group’s history class discussion:
Group member 1: “Metternich was suspicious of the student political groups and issued the Carlsbad Decrees to dissolve the –“ [points right]
Me: “- Burschenschaft.”

I'm officially a college student!

Sometimes I write things, too ;)
