Associations and Suggestions

           So my life has been oddly... social lately? If that's what you'd call it. Apart from the multiple hours spent alone in my room watching community, that is. Haven't blogged in a while either, so here's the obligatory "sorry , dearest people who read this blog" mention thingy.

           The holidays have been spent... mildly unexpectedly. I don't really know where I'm going with this and I don't really feel like delving into details here either. So... Enjoy my toootally mysterious out of context references to things!

           On another note, I really just can not stand some people. Mostly stupid people. Or people who are decently intelligent but simply must be smarter than everyone around them. Life may seem like a contest to you, but it really, really isn't. I mean, we've all been guilty of trying to look good at one point or another, but seriously... please keep it in your pants (yes, I am still referring to those out-smarterism type people and their unsightly mannerisms).

           Sometimes I just lay around thinking about how freaking crazy-weird-excellent the English language is. Or any language, really. The fact that we can look at little symbols and know what they sound like and what they mean, or hear noises and know what they mean and what they look like simply by listening. That we can string little things together into larger trains and make them work together differently than they would in other combinations or even independently is indubitably awesome . The fact that there is a single train or string of these trains to accurately describe nearly everything on the planet and off of it in a manner so precise that one is able to mold a picture in their minds simply from the noises of another human being or little symbols on a page is absolutely, mindbogglingly awesome. And there's not just one word for each thing, either! There's an entire plethora of delicious words each with their own connotations and denotations, associations and suggestions. In fact, there are so many words that it would appear to be quite impossible to know them all, but... that's almost the beauty of it all. Anyways, just a thought of mine.
