No, I haven't substituted the 'x' for 'ex'. It's designed to be pronounced 'sitement', but I figured if I just had the 'c' it would look like a reference to citing things. Which it is not. Shame, really. That'd make a good pun ( Read more... )

The small child screaming somewhere nearby sounds extraordinarily like a seagull. In fact, maybe it is a seagull. That wouldn't be impossible.

Just straightened her own hair for the first time ever? That's right, my friends! It's not quite as pristine as when Alex did it for me, but considering it's my first go and I didn't have any clips to hold part of it back with (*puts them on list of things to get from home at weekend*) I think I did very well ( Read more... )
