as a great man once said, everyone must play the fool sometime; and I happen to be a great actor in the part of the fool Titles: A Person™, A Friend, a Very Catholic Human, and somebody who greatly appreciates your existence
As someone who loves very deeply but is quite foolish and far too reserved most times, I hope to get to know you better!
Particular devotions include our Mother Mary, St. Kateri, St. Raphael :)
Hello!! you can call me Lingo, and I’m somebody who exists! A little about me is as follows (under the cut):
Primarily, I'm a Catholic Christian! I love God. so much. like He's genuinely my everything. And also, people are fantastic things! I can't say I'm the greatest at socialising (by a long shot, in fact), but I will do my best if you wish to reach out because I do still really enjoy talking with you! Just don't be weird :) o7
That said, if you ever have any questions about my faith and what I believe, I'd be more than happy to hear what you've got! I can't promise I have all the answers, but I'm at least somewhat versed and will do my best (which may be eventually referring you to a priest lol)
Aside from that, here's some miscellaneous stuff I like that I'm sure you'll pick up on pretty quick:
Philosophy/theology
Linguistics (and anthropology/sociology as a whole)
Music!! (so specific I know)
My friends #myefriends <3
Musicals! (I'M not a sentimental person... (lyrics))
Coding (especially low-level so far, though I'm pretty sure high-level will appeal to my internal mathematician eventually)
Pretty much everything beautiful in this world (there's a TON of it did you know??) (this encompasses. so much of my personality lol)
And that's about it! Know that I'm praying for you always, and I hope you enjoy your stay! Passersby are more than welcome to send asks and messages :D
Also, here are some side blogs of mine you might enjoy:
@lingeringthesecond --- This is where I reblog everything to, as I found this blog getting far too muddied XD
@thecatholiclingering --- This, as you might be able to tell, is where the majority of my Catholic content goes, so if you're fond of that, definitely check it out :)
@toin-euphrosunain --- My music blog! I love music.
@poetic-song-lyrics --- A joint blog me and my wonderful friend run dedicated to all song lyrics with a poetic/meaningful flair to them! Submissions are always welcome and encouraged
@themovementsoflife and @naughtsimpossible --- My photography and poetry blogs respectively
okay thoughts I've had that are starting to vaguely amount to something:
(this post is mainly for my benefit so if you wanna read go right ahead, just be warned the language and thought process is sketchy at best XD)
Most primarily, the idea of 'communication' as a sort of metaphysical thing;
from that we can begin to talk about a tripartite hierarchy of communication, beginning with God's Word, and especially Its creating power (<- something I need to define better still);
followed then by the created reality's seeming ability to convey and/or 'expel', if you will, itself, this being *its* 'communication';
and then both of these tied together by the idea that man possesses a doublet of communication, one of the willful type given by our image and likeness, God, and one of the metaphysical type, which is in our nature due to our nature being created and corporeal (tentatively — I need to read up on angels a little more to figure out if there's a distinction worth making there, and what that is if so)
onto my random thoughts based off these premises!
perhaps we could say something of Christ's humanity because the form of humanity is actually just Him, and then specifically ask questions then about Him as Word
one of the driving forces behind these premises is the idea that everything speaks to us and we serve almost as messenger to and for Christ on behalf of the world, which can certainly tie into questions about Eden and what that relationship looks like in the ideal sense, versus what it looks like now, and what parts of the world we can find glimpses of that in (I really want to include horses and dogs in this part if I include it, the idea that they gave man a 'second chance' is far too poetic and beautiful for me to turn down 😭)
a quote a professor of mine once said goes something like "when we hold a creature in our mind, we give to it a nobler existence" which I find utterly fascinating and actually quite plausible, given that we are the only corporeal beings capable of attainment towards abstract things via our rational appetite (at least in scholastic tradition), and thus it's almost our duty and unique responsibility to give practical light to the existential reality of the abstract qualities of things (e.g. to say a thing is beautiful is to give a uniquely divine quality a practical existence in that thing). I really like Hopkins and Duns Scotus for this with their metaphysical 'bursting' of sorts
that all said, a note on the actual text I do wonder about: I'm in a weird stasis where I've read almost exclusively analytical philosophy thus far in my class on philosophy, but I myself think (tentatively) that I'm a romantic and a poet by nature, which means this paper might be the oddest mix of mathematical analysis and feelsy, continental-esque philosophy in the world XD
okay, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, this is just a post I made for my own sake so I don't expect anyone to pay attention lol. if you do have thoughts let me know though! I'm so lost with this thesis so external opinion helps a bunch XD
something else I want to make sure to do is read up on Christ in this context, because this whole thing is actually really really beautiful to me, and I want to make sure that's conveyed in the paper; so much of this has touched me in one way or another throughout the past couple of months, and I really want to do that justice :>

getting into coding has turned me into a monster what do you mean I now enjoy using cmd prompt to navigate directories and have a system within it for naming & storing my writing documents

I was practicing my C coding and made a thing to reverse a string and output the reversal (a classic coding thingy XD) but now that I finished making it I was like "in theory I could plug in whatever string of characters I want and it'll actually reverse it" and so with a little bit of manipulation now this exists. very excited to have this ability at my disposal in life, this really tickles my funny bone
this is from Wikipedia that I saved a while back but TELL ME THIS ISN'T SUCH AN AWESOME THING. ART AND BEAUTY WINS EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DEPICT THE WORLD IN LITERAL WAYS
hmmm I ALSO came across that one time that I got some calligraphy pens to put my then-obsession with Arabic calligraphy into practice, but I can't share those pictures because one of the two things I practiced writing was my name in Arabic XDD
it looks reallyyyyy pretty though if you can just imagine it. Arabic is such a wonderful language(s)
actually yknow what if someone goes through the trouble of deciphering my Arabic handwriting then I think they deserve to know my first name. maybe I SHOULD post the picture......
