Well, thanks guys! It’s not really that I think people don’t read my posts. XD Butttt Satah: you shall not miss me, because I am already, like, super-ultra-inactive anyway aaaannnndd we are Official Facebook Friends and also Official...
I’m considering deleting this main Tumblr account, guys. I feel like it’s sucking up a lot of time without much return & I’m not really keeping up with any sort of regular posting myself. If I were to do that, I would probably use Google Reader to keep up with the more important/interesting Tumblrs, & post the interesting things on Facebook—because, let’s face it, I...

"You are loved more than you'll ever know."
Seriously, Formspring? What’s with the random nice-ness recently? And why so anonymous, hmmmmm?
Send me a message, ask me a question, tell me something interesting. Y’know. Just write something in the box. Anything!

You are beautiful!
Keep on shining!
I haven’t got the slightest clue whether or not I know you, but this is nice anyway. :-) I don’t know why I HAVE Formspring—most of the time the only messages I get are ‘zomg we have the same name I can’t believe you stole my name LOL’ so this was a nice surprise, even if you ARE a total stranger. So thanks. :-)

Best Teacher I Ever Had, by David Owen →
willowphoto:
Extracted from Reader’s Digest (Asian Edition), April 1991, pp. 47-48.
Mr. Whitson taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a lecture about a creature called the cattywampus, an ill-adapted nocturnal animal that was wiped out during the Ice Age. He passed around a skull as he talked. We all took notes and later had a quiz.
When he returned my paper, I was...

…in case any of you were thinking about it. Because I ARE COOKING. Oh dear. Just cooked the ‘rice’ part of the fried rice…& now, we wait.
In other news, HI TUMBLR LOOK A NON-REBLOGGED POST FOR ONCE. I’m sorry my life isn’t very interesting. (It might be more exciting in another language, maybe?)

leadingtone:
In case you’re looking for a few great tumblrs to follow and haven’t found any of the following, may I make a few recommendations — in no particular order:
BLOGTHOVEN. Music, science, etc.
A DISTURBANCE IN MIRRORS. Music, arts, viola power in general.
BOYS AND BACH. That about sums it up, and yet just doesn’t cover it.
IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD OF LOVE. Composer blog, great music.

I am basically a bad person.
So, I log onto Facebook, and I see this status:
When will people learn there is a BIG difference between ‘Your’ and ‘You’re’ and also between ‘Their’, ‘There’ and ‘They’re.’ LEARN IT!
Below it were a series of comments lamenting the loss of proper grammar WHICH WERE IN MANY WAYS PARTICULARLY NON-GRAMMATICALLY-CORRECT...

Just found this lovely little gem in my Facebook feed…
Doesn’t understand the need for hugely fat people, hugely hairy people or people who just shouldn’t be in swimmers feel the need to swim in public!

First, TUMBLR WHY DO YOU NOT LET ME WRITE TEXT ON QUOTE POSTS, HMMM?
Second, I don’t see that these two things are mutually exclusive. It’s entirely possible, you know, that the guy in the corner in orange safety pants holding a protest sign and wearing a tophat...

Using someone’s spelling/grammar against them or to invalidate what they say or to form an opinion about them is, in my opinion, a first cousin to the tone argument because it doesn’t address the substance of someone’s statement but rather the method in which it was delivered, and requires that someone meet another’s standard to be allowed into and recognized in a...

BUNNIESBUNNIESBUNNIES!
Sooooo, those of you who are on multiple social networks with me are probably quite sick of these photos, BUT I DON’T EVEN CARE! (Special apologies to Satah, Matilda, and Mouse, who have entirely possibly seen them up to three times.)
This is my beautiful, previously mentioned Vivian (photo of her friend Aahna & the story behind her name at the second link).
