Rant rant rant.
Hey, did you know the "phan" in the word "diaphanous" is the same "phan" (from Greek "phainein," meaning "to show") as those found in "hierophant" and "sycophant"? Maybe that means popes are insubstantial suck-ups! (Or that suck-ups are... insubstantial... pope-looking... dudes? o_O?)

Oh, hey, the "phane" in "cellophane" is from "phainein" as well! That must mean popes are insubstantial suck-ups made of sheets of regenerated cellulose! Or that suck-ups are insubstantial sheets of regenerated cellulose in the shape of a dude wearing a pope hat! Or something!

But wait, what about "elephant"? Nope, sorry, the whole word meant "ivory" or "[the creature that we now know of as the] elephant" and though it came through Greek (well, through Old French through Latin through Greek, but whatever), it possibly came through Phoenician (though no one's sure where from) and regardless has nothing to do with "phainein"!

So I guess I was thinking more Greek (or, more appropriately, Greek through Latin) than anything else.

Oh, the things brought up by reading about some waiter dude admiring some hot woman wearing very little in his restaurant because of extreme heat....

I just found my old Red Nintendo SP that's been missing for four years, with my old, old, old, lost Sapphire still inside. O_O;

I wish I could find my long lost SP. It'd have my LeafGreen in it, and all my legendaries from Articuno to Rayquaza...

When I was going through my desk drawers, I found old concept arts of my very first OC, Allison. Looking back on those, I now know how much I failed at drawing back then.

Looking at the bottom of the page, I was wondering, "What's everyone looking at now?"

So... apparently my dreaming mind thinks marijuana looks like sparsely leaved, bright red-stalked peppermint. o_O

My dreams are weird.

We get what we deserve. The harder we try, the more we get. Two out of three coin flips determines if we what we get is good or bad.

I can't help but wonder if popping my right wrist is actually healthy.
I'm thinking not.

I've been popping my knuckles for about 6 years, and now my hands hurt like hell. My mom thinks they're related, and I'm starting to think so as well.

Oh great. =/ Well, I guess I get to say hello to arthritis then. What makes it suck so much is the stupid thing feels really tight and almost painful until it pops. Then it feels better.

I think this may be one of those classic "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situations.

I wonder... If I was a girl, would I make a good Sailor Senshi? If so, I want all their combined powers. I guess I'm greedy that way.
