I go through periods of time where I can’t think of the words that I really want to say.  It’s  frustrating to know that while you’re fumbling around imprecise substitutes there’s one little word in the back of your mind with his hand raised yelling “pick me!”

Since we’re on the subject.  Anyone who has spoken the English language for long has probably noted its lack of a proper second person plural pronoun.  And everyone who has studied a language with this luxury has probably felt gypped by English’s deficiency.  We are, thus, forced to use the ambiguous “you” or form our own alternative (i.e. “you guys”, “you all” or “ya’ll”).  In New Zealand I heard a lady refer to two boys as “yous” and this seemed to me, for the first time, a viable solution.  It’s a single word and it follows standard pluralization rules.  So it is my proposition that it be accepted as the official substitute for the antiquated Middle English “ye”.  Any takers?

I think I cut my hair around the time I posted last. So yeah, it’s been a while. I keep having all sorts of blog-worthy thoughts (earth-shattering, really) but I’ve needed to get the formal “I haven’t posted in a while but I’m gonna be better about it this time, I promise!” post out of the way.

As some of you know, I’m back from my travels. I came back a little earlier than planned (money, Chelsea, grad school planning, etc.) The other day I realized that I haven’t been in the same place for more than 5 nights since the end of September. Don’t get me wrong, I had some of the most amazing experiences of my life. But after a while you begin to hurt for a sense of familiarity. So now that my adventuresome spirit has been pacified, I think I’m ready to march head-on into this “real world” I keep hearing talk about (insurance bills and loan payments continue to confirm its existence).

So new things will be coming soon. Who knows maybe I’ll change up the look or post some new music or finally update Fotobook.
