On a pillar in HQ.

I feel like finally, finally this generation is seeing change in the world and we can thank social media and when social media is put to good use it totally warms my heart.

note to self

GIVE UP ON SPOTIFY

Your OCD will cause you to make sad faces at your last.fm all day. Not good. Not good.

upon the 27th hour of being awake

[cheated a little, couldn’t help from nodding off slightly once the lecturer dimmed the light and it was time for Shakespearean quotations, aiai]

I locked myself out of the house

I, who leaves the key in the lock upon not forgetting it

>____>

<____<

THIS IS NOT GOING TO PLAN GUYS

seven billion more things to do, gotta dash.

uuughhhh Academic Writing you can go climb a tree

I’ve been awake almost 24 hours now and I am convinced I am not dumb. I can talk my talk. I just cannot write whatever you want me to write and you CAN’T JUST MESS WITH MY OCD THIS MUCH u____u

[In Lings, we use Harvard. In English, we use MHRA. I had never heard of MHRA but I now realise that whatever they made me do during IB is very close. Thankfully without the underlining, though. But there are footnotes :> Even though inserting them is a paaain.]

crap and now I’m not even going ouuuuuuut tonight

brb feeling sorry for myself in a pile of books.

Anyone else ever find the urge to gloss Wikipedia articles?

…

no?

>_> yeah, me neither.

I’m not a pro-linguist so I won’t.

YEAH I WAS RIGHT

IRISH ACCENT > WHATEVER HE’S DOING

COME ON PEOPLE LET HIM HAVE IT :( AIDAN WAS MAGNIFICENT WITH HIS ACCENT WHY WON’T YOU LET DAMIEN HAVE IT :(

gross why

Awww, are you hating on my photo so much you can’t even function properly? You saved it to your computer and re-uploaded it and then made a hateful comment…

Why don’t you just take your negative attitude and leave it at the door?

… once in a while I scroll through the Davey Havok tag because I actually like Davey and the things this fandom comes up with, it just baffles me. If you don’t like Davey/AFI/BA/anyone anymore, why don’t you just find other things you do like and spend some positive energy on them? Also, if you don’t like DxH’s tweets then just don’t read them?

dude i don’t hate the photo, haha. i hate davey using the mic as a golden, dangling phallus

and i didn’t save this, i just copied the link from a message board~

i’ve been in this fandom for 8 years, p sure i can do whatever i want

davey is not god, he’s actually kind of a weird dumbass. he’s not gonna die if i mock him for. typing. like this.

or for having a microphone for a dick

or for shaving an inverted cross in his belly hair

i could go on, really

LOL OH I didn’t even realise the dangling golden phallus thing. Yeah. Ok. You may have a point. xD

The tweet-thing wasn’t personally for you, though I think you got that.

Fair enough, I don’t think he will die whether people praise him or mock him. For he is indeed one weird dumbass and always has been. I just found it a bit saddening that people tag their mockeries cause some of them are more hate than mockery. D’ohwell. People can say what they want. Such is life!

this is exactly what is wrong with tumblr

and the rest of the internet.

You know, the other day, I found out there are people on facebook that have taken photos of my friends [and myself] and tagged themselves and their friends in it. Sorry, what? What, what, what are you doing? Your facebook is for you. For photos of you.

And if you like inspiration so much, as we all do… What is wrong with having a little inspiration folder on your computer just for you? Or like I used to do when I was 15, just printing shit out and looking at it for inspiration without harming anyone.

The very least you could do is reblogging with sources [and actual permission, very important]. But no. Nooooo. This is why we can’t have nice things.

[I’m going to be upfront and say the screencap is from deadpictorial, who also has this quote on her sidebar “I usually post images I find online rather than reblogging, it’s easier for me to do.”]

sherlocktapdances:

okay I’ll go jump off a cliff now

See, ok, this is why people spend money on nice clothes because clothes make people look amazing rather than just not naked - and I am always very torn on this subject. “Don’t judge people by their appearance” vs “but I want to express myself through my appearance” and “but appearance can be so niiiiiiiice” and my overall love for clothes.

Of course I’m not saying this is a horrible picture it’s amazing he’s sitting on a stack of chairs [and being adorable] but I was just trying to say SEE I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THEY PUT HIM IN A 1000 POUND COAT AND MAKE HIM WEAR NICE SHOES because it just ups his unfness by a gazillion. Thank you, to the stylists of the world. For making me look at nicely dressed characters on tv shows. ;D

sorry Tumblr

for the BH spam :|

but I have no real life equivalent of friend-who-watches-Being-Human

so you’re getting it all.

And I just realised my queue was screwed up and I posted “who is ready?” like, just now. BUT IT WAS A LIE, I WAS NOT READY. I was not prepaaaaared. All the feelings…

Early Modern English (after Standardization began)

They have therefore been most rigorous in putting in execution, the only Remedy, that can be found for this Extravagance, and that has been, a constant Resolution, to reject all the amplifications, digressions, and swellings of style; to return back to the primitive purity, and shortness, when men deliver’d so many things, almost in an equal number of words.
Thomas Sprat, History of the Royal-Society of London (1667).

(very) Early Modern English

The English speach doth still encroche vpon it [Cornish], and hath driuen the same into the vttermost skirts of the shire. Most of the Inhabitants can no word of Cornish; but very few are ignorant of the English. 
Richard Carew, The Survey of Cornwall (1602)

Middle English

With hym ther was a Plowman, was his broother,
That hadde ylad of donge ful many a foother.
A trewe swynkere and a good was he,
Lyvynge in pees and parfit charitee.
Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales

Old English

Hwæt! We Gardena         in geardagum, 
þeodcyninga,         þrym gefrunon, 
hu ða æþelingas         ellen fremedon. 
Oft Scyld Scefing         sceaþena þreatum, 
monegum mægþum,         meodosetla ofteah, 
egsode eorlas.
Beowulf

Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu *____*

I don’t know when it started but now I cannot look at things such as the above and feel immense overwhelming feelings in my heart and mind. I want to have a sweet sweet love affair with old languages, especially Germanic ones. JUST LOOK AT THEM.

OHGOSH I AM REALLY FANGIRLING OVER WORDS WHAT IS MY LIFE.

I give up. I just honestly can’t anymore. My pedantic brain tells me to give up. Too many times have I heard people use Doctor Who to mean The Doctor and it frustrated me. Yet time and time again have people involved with the show used this name. So I guess even though most of the times the credit is “The Doctor” and when people call his name they say “Doctor” or “The Doctor” - I guess it is okay to say “Doctor Who” when referring to him outside of the show. Or something. Well. I don’t care anymore.
