Sorry it’s been awhile, I’ve been writing elsewhere recently on topics I don’t post about on xanga.
The word quite is quite overused, but it will never stop being overused because there is no word quite like it.
I’m getting over a cold, and I’m not happy about it. I like having a cold. It’s like my way of sticking it to global warming.
I have furnished a skill that is embarassingly amazing. I set my clock by my bed 5-10 mintues fast usually, depending on whether it somehow got unplugged or I just felt like I didn’t want it to be the time it actually was. Well, I normally set my alarm for a time like 7 A.M., and only after waking up and walking upstairs do I see it is really something like 6:52 A.M. Somehow, someway, beyond all measure of what seems to be a reasonable amount of stupidity and forgetfulness, I actually have a drain in my head that leaks pieces of information out during the hours of the night, and the fact that my clock is wrong is always one of them. Although I set it fast by 5-10 minutes, I believe it’s the actual time the first moments of waking up every single day. It really helps if I sleep in and I begin to freak out, but then after seeing another clock realize that things aren’t really so bad. However, there is some time barrier for when I may start remembering. It’s something like that for every three weeks of having the wrong time I must have one week of the right time, just to keep my brain from figuring it out.
Have a wonderful ensuing 24 hours!

You’re quite right about there being no word quite like the word quite.
I like having a cold, too, except it makes my throat get scratchy when I sing…and then my voice gets higher and eventually stops working altogether…
I’m too smart to out-smart myself…or maybe I’m too dumb…or both?!? Dang, that’s perplexing.
I bid thee also a 24-hour period of wonderment following the time at which you read this. Or just have a nice day.
yes I agree you are quite right about there being no word quite like the word quite, however it would be quite amazing if we didn’t have to use the word quite quite as often! :) I don’t know why you like having a cold though…it’s like a fog on annoyingness that follows you around for however long and makes you feel almost not yourself but not sick enough to stay in bed and get better and so then you are foggy sick much longer, blaa to colds!
