o we feel so controversially profound

so stealing flowers had gotten out of hand; the drunker i was, the more i'd bring back. the other night there was a precious white lilac (syringa vulgaris alba) that went missing, somewhere. please note: this is no confession. and someone may have enjoyed that lilac, in its own right, more than they would've otherwise

i feel it unlikely that I would unambiguously agree that anyone was one of the five best writers ever but surprisingly feel few qualms admitting montaigne (and i havent even read his work that extensively). other than fyodor i can think of no other likely, who say these buffoons?

i do indeed remember that. we do have quite a few truly marvellous incidents in our shared coexistent past- it seems like those things dont happen too often anywhere least of all central VA- i fear that there was a drought of glamour in the lives of all in the surrounding area for the next few years, causing such tragedies as the absinthe and cravat store shutting down, three new people to order the toilet paper with politicians faces on it, some frat boy to drink champagne at new years then scream at the top of his lungs 'IM SO WASTED' and so on.

i think the conversation was one of my favorite anecdotes- he learned and spoke nothing but latin until age 11 or 12 (i forget which) but then he started speaking nothing but french and his latin grew positively rusty- similar to my father with afrikaans, probably, but even more so because theres a big gap between stopping at 18, and at 11 or 12. in any case, he says he positively forgot his latin and couldnt even understand it when it was being spoken (possibly an exagerration but as Im sure you know as well as all other students of language, language can flee amazingly fast- it is no concrete structure but wispy as a spiderweb). however, upon the moment he learned of his fathers death, he began wailing in latin and didnt understand the french spoken to him by his family- in his delirium he spoke and wept in latin for several hours- i always thought that was a really interesting anecodte about language.
