Close to the beginning of the year, in my English class, we were learning about root words. The root “soph”, meaning wisdom, came up. People said things like “sophomore” and “philosophy”, etc. So I raised my hand, purely curious, and said “what about Sophocles?”.

I swear, every student in the room turned and looked at me like I was a big dumb idiot, and one person just went “…you mean Socrates?”

Yes. Obviously. Because I, the most self conscious and afraid-to-say-anything-out-loud-in-class-for-fear-of-being-wrong person that I know, DEFINITELY didn’t stop to think “oh no, maybe I mean an entirely different person that has nothing to do with this lesson”. Yeah.

I can live with being mocked for being wrong, but you can’t put me down when I said nothing incorrect! That’s not fair!

Why would anybody EVER use Bing?

NO!

I used to be kind of into screamo music, but now I just… can’t be bothered.

I guess my line of thinking just comes from “don’t you want to be able to understand what you’re listening to?”.

Don’t be jealous of people. You are NEVER going to be them. Do your best to make yourself happy, and you won’t have to be jealous.
