So.
Valentines.
He can feck right off right?
I know this topic will be saturating cyberspace today. But to be honest, I'm not fussed, I'm just a guy who likes to write. And what better to write about than a "Hot Topic".
So I didn't really mean what I said about Valentines, I don't mind him really, he was a nice guy, never hurt me in anyway. Basically I've got no beef with the fella.
Actually... Reading up about it... I Dont WANT beef with the fella:
"Valentinus tried to convert the Emperor -- whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that didn't finish him, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate."
This guy was a bad ass!
From now on Valentine's day is the celebration of a guy who got beaten to shit, then survived, then had his head chopped off. I bet he was still going after that! Imagine:
"Hey Emperor, I'd like to talk to you about jesus"
"Kill him!"
*beaten with sticks*
"But he turned water into alcohol! You were a student Sire! Imagine how useful that would have been!"
"Kill him again!"
*Axe to the head*
"Just take this leaflet!"
But anyway, So, for the 17th year of my life (of which I have 17) I am single again for Valentines day, I'm pretty sure I have a natural disposition to this being single on the 14th.
To be honest, it's not bothered me, maybe because I've just got out of a relationship that I'm taking it easy, as just another day - I mean a celebration of a badass.
Oh that's right, I'm single.

Never before...
Has a tag line been more appropriate "an inconsistent look" Yeah that's about right, it's been almost 3 weeks since my last entry!
Anyway something that quickly crossed my mind wondering around facebook, as is the style nowadays I believe, on top of the plethora of groups that make little or no sense, or are for mundane things like "I woke up this morning and didn't want to get out of bed".
A lot of the population of facebook are students, this isn't anything special, this is in our nature as layabout lollygaggers.
But it was the use of the term "Lol'd".
Now I use this all the time, in a joke context of course, I merely mock the lower classes, but I only just really took apart that phrase. Think about it.
LOL/Lol/lol stands for Laugh Out Loud (Not Lots Of Love MUM)
And so the have the elided past tense suffix "'d" here, obviously to put it into past tense, as seen in "Lol'd".
But here's were the youth and acronyms get confusing.
When we say "Lol'd": the elided past tense suffix is attached to the last L, which means that is the word it is modifying is "Loud" which means that when we say "I Lol'd" we are saying "I laugh out louded", which as you can see, makes no sense.
On the other hand we cant say "I L'edol" because who could pronounce that?
Oh well.
