      I really like the word lackadaisical because it flows well, it is interesting and quirky. It is a word that looks like and feels like it means the exact opposite of what it does (Lacking enthusiasm and determination). It's a word tha I can't hold in my mind because it doesn't feel right, and I think that there's something beautiful about that. Of course, that's just me rationalizing (the same reasoning does not hold true for the word pulchritudinous, you see)

      Anatoly Liberman has a very interesting illustration of sound symbolism with the world pimple. In fact, I'd recommend reading that book if you're interested in why some words elicit a visceral reaction.

      How do you know if you're underestimating someone? How can you purposefully underestimate someone? And why would you do that? Or is Bob Dylan trying to say that only if people estimate him correctly and treat him as deserves can he see their true value?

    I figured out what picture I want for each belief, located pictures I already had, and cast models for pictures I need. I will be taking pictures that involve my whiteboard and things at home tonight and I will photograph with my models at study hall tomorrow. For that, I have decided on a camera and the props I will need. I also have my script for narration and I know what photo editing will need to be done for each picture. After all that, all I will need to do to finish is put it all together and do the narration.

      Wow, and I thought romance novels didn't represent love correctly. >.<

      Well, what do you define "falling in love"?

      So, this title/wording is a little misleading. 
  • ust as love is diverse, the part of the brain affected is also different.

      Is the same part of the brain affected in different people always? Do things ever get muddled?
