Half the time, all that I write I save as a draft instead of posting. I don't know what's wrong with me, I no longer feel like sharing my words or thoughts, just a phase maybe! But it's quite messy to have so many half done pieces.

Though, I'm posting this random realization, not gonna save this as a draft too, lol.

So Noel just posted the last shot of his finger tats being done and... it explains everything. Apparently they did them by hand, no stencil, nothing. Am I surprised? No. Am I oooooh my God why? Yes.

When we said the reason they always looked different was because they hand drew them... we were joking and I can’t believe we got that right 😂

Learned a new word this morning: Shambolic

sham·bo·lic| ˌSHamˈbälik | adjective informal, mainly British chaotic, disorganized, or mismanaged: the department's shambolic accounting. 

----

I’m a fan of how the word sounds like its meaning. I read it in relation to Pete Davidson from an NYT article about his new film coming out: The King of Staten Island. 

I like to write down and write about new words I learn as I learn them- that way, they are more likely to stick, both in my mind, and in my vernacular. 

When I was younger, I used to be teased and even bullied for having a “large” vocabulary, which I found laughable, because I knew that there were so many words that I  didn’t know. I just found other people’s vocabulary (my peers- high schoolers) deplorable and... hmmm... what’s a nice way to put it? Boring, uninspired, flat. Limited. 

Some of these bullies (I guess they felt threatened?) asked me if I went home and just read the dictionary. I always answerd No, or ignored them, but the truth is, I couldn’t even look up one word in the dictionary, because I would get distracted and end up reading a ton of words and definitions. Now, I’m grateful for the “look up” method of the internet because it lets me get right to the word I’m looking for, but I also miss the meandering paths that I sometimes took when I opened the actual book. I enjoy the feeling of reaching for a word, a  specific word, which means exactly what I need it to mean, and finding it. I get frustrated when I forget a word, or can’t quite get to it. And then when it comes back- what satisfaction! What absolute relief! 

Maybe this is also why I like learning languages. The way humans express themselves and communicate is endlessly fascinating to me.
