Word of the day, among other things....
Learning something new everyday, is very much the way to go. ;P
phi·lol·o·gy: [fi-lol-uh-jee] Show IPA Pronunciation
-noun 1. the study of literary texts and of written records, the establishment of their authenticity and their original form, and the determination of their meaning.

which I have gotten from a paper from Neil Gaiman published in 2004, showing the word philologists :noun a humanist specializing in classical scholarship or Phi*lol"o*gist\, n. One versed in philology.
Here is the paper ;Phttp://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/05/books/review/05GAIMANL.html?_r=3&scp=4&sq=brothers%20grimm&st=cse
And supposedly english is my first and only language and yet there are many many words that I really need to know. ;P or at least I am sad that I do not.
The main problem I have, is making myself sit down and read something and fully get the meaning. I do understand what I read but the actual problem is, my mind is not on the text at hand but on many other little things.
I am thinking about making a scarf, drawing cards, paiting cards, wondering when I have time to read some book I've wanted to read, wondering what is happening on the game site I play and telling myself I do not need to play that game site, thinking that I would like to write a short story or two, thinking that I need to finish a blanket that someone is expecting, wanting to work on some Jams that I've been sent and I need to get back...and all kinds of other things that I need to do but I keep putting off doing.
and so I get this whole panicky feeling in my brain, a sort of buzzing, numbing hurricane of blah which, quite frankly just puts me right off my game. *nuff complaining but it's true.*
So, this post is mostly to remind myself to take a very deep breath...again. Calm down. I seem to need to remind myself of this on a daily basis. Live in the now, take deep breaths and get my work done, or at least started. Whew. :)
