It felt so good to talk about why I’m excited.
I was like… About to explode and the more I thought about it the more twitchy and restless I got.

ieithoedd liked your post: I’m really excited… But I can’t talk about why…
You know why.
Also I saw pictures and it’s not as ugly as the ones I showed you.
I’m really excited…
But I can’t talk about why I’m excited. Because it’s a secret. But it’s awesome.
Hint: I’m still single. It has nothing to do with my love life.
Actually it may, in the long run.
GOD I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

I’ve managed to piss off the whole of the Cherokee nation on Tumblr.
Mission accomplished.
This is how White people spend there time.
White hobbies.
This is why we don’t trust white people with secrets.

I swear to God if Matt wins Face Off I’m going to be so proud.
I mean, he’s self-taught and from my home town and he’s consistently in the top artists and I have a lot of feelings.

AT&T is dumb. We had to switch because of the merger with Alltel or whatever and we’ve had nothing but trouble. We’re switching to Verizon as soon as our contract runs out.
AT&T is usually really good to me.

Okay this is irritating.
I’m trying to confirm my hotel reservations for summer but it’s become completely ridiculous because every time I get a phone call in my house, my cell drops the call.

I should have guessed that more common commodities would still have words. Also, a few of those do go back quite a long time…
Since Cherokee is so polysynthetic I can also just calque a new word if I don’t know it.

I’ll try but since one of the languages is moribund, vocabulary is limited.

White people: I wear Native American war bonnets and face paint because I have a deep appreciation of Native American culture.
Native Americans: Hey, could you stop doing that? It's harmful to us.
White people: Nah, I respect your culture too much to listen to what you have to say about it.

“This class is so entertaining because everybody’s drunk.”
– My Japanese professor commenting on those of us who get intoxicated before class.
I’m going to bed and I have nothing clever to say about it.
Staff: Sir, I think they're realizing that we don't actually know how to fix what's wrong with the site.
Karp: Shit! I thought the fan mail option would buy us a year at the least. What DO we know how to do?
Staff: Well, we can change the dashboard color again, or maybe more confetti?
Karp: NO. Those bastards don't deserve that. How about we change the font? I love Comic Sans.
Staff: We already added some of your favorite fonts with the fan mail, sir. How about new posting icons?
Karp: Whatever. I don't care what you do. I'm going to watch reruns of Glee.

Yes! Like in toxic bogs. What the fuck are they doing there. I am extremely wary of any flora that can survive in apocalyptic conditions, has prickles, and has adapted to consume flesh.
I’m so glad I’m not alone in this.

Rocks.
I feel like if they possessed human speech organs, rocks would speak Welsh. It also explains the theory that humans were created by rocks to get carried around and also why there are so many rocks in Wales.
Think about it.
Also, the day my Welsh dictionary arrived via USPS, there were more rocks in the front yard than normal.

Honestly I feel like that’s a very real possibility that could already been in effect. My house is surrounded by bogs of prickly carnivorous monster plants…these plants be shady as fuck and I just don’t trust them.

countrygramma replied to your post: I’m completely obsessed with cacti though.
I feel that way about carnivorous plants…totally untrustworthy organisms. Too bizarre to be real.
I just want to know what they’re plotting.
Just look at them.
How do we know they aren’t part of a sinister plan?
Oops, I may or may not be considering commissioning a drawing of me with a potted cactus in an interrogation room with the cactus on the desk, me pacing around and then getting right up in the cactus’ (face?) and shouting, “REVEAL YOUR SECRETS, POKEY FLORA OF THE DESERT… What’s your game?!?”
I'm completely obsessed with cacti though.
Because I don’t understand them.
They’re just really weird. Like, imagine if you had never seen a plant before and you see all these trees and suddenly:
You can’t tell me you wouldn’t be like, “Um… What the hell is this?”
