As I explained earlier, most animals are multilingual when it comes to listening, but reading is beyond us. Reading and writing seem to belong to a special linguistic system that only humans possess.

- Repetitive Quotes
I sit here typing through quotes to pass time at work for about 7 hours a day and I've realized that I come across the same quotes multiple times. Surely there are more than enough quotes on this entire website to be able to type for hours and hours without encountering the same ones again and again.

- What's the Evolutionary Benefit of Appreciating Beauty?
One thing that separates humans from animals is our ability to appreciate beauty. You can theoretically train a monkey to physically do anything a human can, but a chimp can't look at a sunset or a painting and recognize its beauty. Is there some evolutionary benefit to this? I read once it could be remnants of our desire to be in open spaces so that we can better see approaching danger. Or maybe our creator was feeling boastful and wanted us to admire his work.

- Not a Trace Left Behind
I devoured you. Your mind, body, and soul were all in the palm in my hands, wrapped around my finger, laced along the silver edges. I had you. I consumed you until there was nothing left. I destroyed you, so much so that you were unrecognizable to your family and friends. I was sly, you never realized what was happening to you. Or so that's what I believed, until the day you said I can continue to consume you until you are no more.

- Sunset
We're just two tangled souls made of roses and thorns, we're just ships in the night chasing after the light, tell me what would be life without you by my side, we're just oceans and waves, we're just one and the same, so don't let the sunset on our love, don't let the nightfall tear us apart.

- He doesn't know I know.
I watch my cubicle neighbor log on to this site in the morning. When he needs to look busy, I see him bring the window up and the clickity-clack of the keyboard begins. I wonder if he knows that I know that he does it to look busy?

- just a question
Is it just me that after giving a lot of typing tests and practicing on various websites, we make a kind of muscle memory while typing words which are common on almost all typing websites? And while I type these common words, my mind just alerts me whenever I am about to make a mistake. It's like I already seem to know which word I'm about to type incorrectly and if I don't pause on such a word, I make a mistake and my accuracy decreases.

- Sitting
Sitting; sitting is the opposite of standing. Sitting is the opposite of running around, and sitting is a wonderful thing to do. Because you're sitting; sitting is the opposite of standing on your head, sitting is the opposite of hanging from a barbell, sitting is a wonderful thing to do!

- He Who Fights With Monsters
An interesting fact about the goddess of knowledge is that she knows everything that anyone in this world knows, including me. Which means she knows a bunch of Mario Kart shortcuts, which is kind of awesome.

- Blue HAir
She asked me how to be funny. But that's not something you can teach. What seemed so blue in the sunlight by the night was a pale green. And I tried to hold her but it didn't really last long. She's getting older I guess she's gotta cut her blue hair off. She asked me if she was pretty. Well, it's clear that the girl's a fraud. There's really no way of winning.

- Whats More Deadly A Thought or A Gun
What is more deadly, a gun or a thought? Perhaps not the gun. Because a gun just gives you the opportunity, it is the thought which actually compels you to pull the trigger.

- Don't You Hate It When Someone Comes Into Work With a Cold!
On my day in the office last week, a colleague - that I had to share a small office with - came into the work with a cold. Guess what? Two days later my gifted cold kicked in. Two days sick and working from home. I only go one day a week. Next time, if I turn up and someone in the office has a cold or any other infectious illness, I am going straight home again!

- The gift of Marriage
Marriage is not a reward for good people. It is not something that you can achieve, it is not something that you can fail to achieve. Marriage is not something you advance to once you have learned to love God how you should.

- An Opportune time to say....
Last year I lost my friend to suicide. I looked back on our text messages wondering if there were any signs I missed. I wanted to see if there were any messages that could have possibly given her hope in those last moments. I saw that I had invited her to church, which is lovely, but I missed the opportunity to tell a hopeless person that there was hope in Jesus. I vowed to never let that happen again. So, typist, there is hope in Jesus. You are loved with an unconditional and everlasting love!

- Don't Waste Energy
Everyone has hated someone at some point in their lives. If it was someone in school, someone at work, someone anywhere really. It doesn't matter if you hate them even if they did something very bad to you, don't waste energy on hate, but still greet them and talk to them and be respectful to them as if they are a friend.
Duster
- Inside Out
Would I be able to speak after a stiff drink? Would it break my panic? Would the sweat stop pouring out? Slow and deliberate, with her words. She'll walk through my heart. Those eyes light a fire, in my stomach. Fall apart, from the inside out.

- Dear Diary
I have not used this little website in quite a while. In fact, I have not used it over the whole summer break. Now that I am back in school, I just remembered it, and I decided to write again. I am taking college level courses now, so I probably will not have enough time on my hands to type on here. I just hope that these classes will not bite me in the future.
