Me voici en générale / Here I am in general. Lover of sunshine. I don't mind the rain until it drags on for long periods of time, which it does where I live. Music, laughter, a computer, paper and everlasting sharp pencil, an always-completely-charged camera, and my siblings are all I need. I'm like any other person, living life to the best I can with what I have on a day-to-day basis, but just a tad weirder :]

Another thing you should know about me, sunglasses make me feel invisible and therefore invincible. I can observe the entire world & without them noticing. I find such a liberty in that you even can’t imagine.
Yeah, that and taking off my prescribed glasses. There is no longer a constant anxiety of being aware of and having to feel or notice people. Even though I know they see me, it doesn’t prick at me since I can’t see them. Reverse psychology? It’s a bit screwed up I know, but it makes a big difference for me. I can breathe without feeling the need to be on-alert and self-aware.

Save The English Language!
The editors of Oxford University Press and the Oxford English Dictionary are concerned about all of the wonderful words in English that are ‘disappearing’ from the language from lack of use.
So, they’ve come up with a great solution: Adopt a Word.
It’s free to adopt a word, the words are old and weird and fun to use, you can buy a t-shirt with your word on it (only if you wish; it’s not a requirement), and you can choose your adopted word!
All you agree to, in adopting your word, is to use it! You can spray paint it on a wall, use it in a meeting, win a game of Scrabble with it, or even walk around town wearing a sign-board/sandwich-board with your word on it! (Or, you could wear the aforementioned t-shirt, if you want!)
I adopted the word foppotee, which is appropriate here, since only a simpleton wouldn’t want to adopt a word and help save the English language, right?
Pigritude = laziness
Labascate = to begin to fall or slip
Xenization = fact of travelling as a stranger
Pudify = to cause to be embarrassed
Isangelous = equivalent to the angels
Anywhere I see this number, I know to expect something little or big, or some things (depending on how many times I see it), bad to happen that day. Saw it once so far…
Feeling as though I’ve lost control over my emotions, something that are my own and therefore, I feel I should be able to keep in check, is the most unsettling to me. A slight slip of emotion could lead to a rapid loss of most of the emotions I was in control of. And sadly, this is usually the reason I keep some length of distance from people, no matter how much we interact, no matter how I really feel about them.
