MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE
THAT’S CHEATING
This is a blatant violation of trust
YOU LYING FUCKS I SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE ADMIRING THE BRICK LAYERS THAT ALWAYS LAY THE BRICKS NEAT AND PERFECTLY LINED UP HOLY SHIT I LOOK UP TO YOU HOW COULD YOU
I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE JUST TOLD ME SANTA CLAUSE ISNT REAL ALL OVER AGAIN
Anthology
A collection of writing today is still called an anthology, which derives from two Greek words: anthos (flowers) and logy (to speak of).
- Merilyn Simonds
An excerpt from Gardens: A Literary Companion.
This book is super interesting. It wasn’t until my recent visit to the Tulip Museum in Amsterdam that I realized how much people care about flowers. The fact that “Tulip Mania” was a thing is insane. Also in one of the essays from “Gardens”, there’s a man who almost dies to bring home a bunch of flowers and seeds and junk and thought it was totally worth it.
My “learned thing” for today was supposed to be where the word anthology came from, but I guess it’s actually the fact that flower nerds exist.
Speaking of flower nerds…
The quickest doodle of Poison Ivy.
(ps. it’s actually this girl who is poison…)
(pps. a lot of Bell Biv Devoe today.)
Day 4
Crap. I almost made it but it's currently 00h02. Oh well today I had 3.5 facts and doodles so I count this as being on track.
1. Daphne & Apollo
2. Little Shrike Thrush
3. Anthology
3.5. Flower Nerds
That girl is poison...
And so is that girl, and that girl, and so are all boys. They're all poison. The little shrike thrush is a type of bird whose feathers are poisonous due to the bugs they eat. They are toxic to the touch. Kind of like poison dart frogs.
Another little doodle.
Thanks Batman: The Black Mirror for the sweet bird fact.
Daphne
I'm pretty into Greek mythology and the very first story I ever learned was the Daphne and Apollo story (aside from Disney's Hercules of course). Long story short, Apollo can't take no for an answer so Daphne's father saves her by turning her into a tree.
Is it weird that I learned this story in the 7th grade? Oh well, I guess you're never too young to learn that no means no. I mean she'd rather be a tree. What a rejection.
"Peace out you creep." - Daphne probably
Throwback Thursdays
I think this might be a cop out but I kind of like the idea of posting some favorite things I learned before...
Day 3
I think that counts as 3
1. Greenway
2. I took a different bus to school today and learned where the right stop would've been...
3. Characters based on the elements are a thing. A cool, cool thing.
I think I like science now...!
Greenway
Today I learned that there's a lovely trail thing for bikes and pedestrians near my school! There's animal facts, a garden, and some statue things along the way. I found it because I missed my stop and didn't know that the next opportunity to get off the bus would be a kilometer away. So instead of waiting 20 minutes for a bus in the opposite direction, I just walked back. I usually take the bus or drive to school so I never knew this path existed. It's hidden from the street by trees and stuff, but also I never really bothered to look. It was a nice change to walk to school. I might miss my stop more often :).
Day 2
Learned some cool stuff on the internets today :) 1. Sleep 2. Snakes 3. Chinese American history stuff
1932, Chinese-American pilots Hazel Ying Lee and Virginia Wong (via You May Not Know About The First Chinese Americans, But You Should)
The black mamba is not black; it gets its name from the color of the inside of its mouth.
Interesting!
Tired but functioning is no way to live life
So I believe I’m a reasonable and somewhat intelligent human being, but today I’ve learned that when I’m tired I’m a little dumb so dumb. And it’s not like I don’t get it! I understand that sleep is so important but this is still a concept I have to relearn all the time. The fact that there’s nothing on the internet that won’t be there in the morning or that you really don’t need one more episode is just something I can't seem to wrap my dumb brain around.
This was so clear to me this morning when I almost broke down and cried in the shower because I didn’t see any shampoo. I had woken up tired but functioning, got in the shower and wet my hair, but to my chagrin I saw two bottles of conditioner when what I needed was shampoo. And I know what you’re thinking. Isn’t it ironic? But no Ms. Morrisette, this is freaking horrible (in fact I’m not sure your song even has any real irony in it). But anyway, here I am on the verge of tears, when I pick up the two bottles and realize that, oh, this Head and Shoulders bottle was just upside down. Crisis averted. I wasn’t wearing my glasses so I guess it was an honest mistake. But yeah sleep is something I need…
Day 1
Today I learned not to close a window while editing on Tumblr because it will not save... Anyway I guess I probably should've started this thing tomorrow since today is Labor Day and all I did was clean and start watching Parks & Rec. Although today was a slow learning day I did look up how soy milk is made: Soy milk (soymilk or soya milk) is a plant milk produced by soaking dry soybeans and grinding them with water. Thanks Wikipedia! So I guess that's three: 1. Tumblr stuff that I accidentally had to learn 2. Soy Milk 3. I quite enjoy Parks & Recreation Not a very eventful day. Hopefully there will be more exciting things to learn later on this year. Things are off to a great start haha.
First things first:
Like the name would suggest, this is a blog where I will post three things I've learned each day. It's a project I thought would help encourage me to stay curious and to always be learning. I figure that since school is starting back up this month, now is a good a time as any to start this thingy.
(ps. sory in advance for any grammer errers that May occur)
