The King & the Queen & the Marching Band
mood: My 4th grade teacher would have told me I was "off in LaLaLand."
music: yes, I am a PIRATE, 200 years too late...
random word: castle
That title was honestly the first thing that popped into my head. After much deep thought in an effort to figure out where it came from, I decided that it was an example of what would happen if Billy Joel slept with Don McLean (think Brenda and Eddie were the popular steady and the king and the queen of the prom/ and the players tried to take the field but the marching band refused to yield). See? It makes perfect sense! Shit. I'm going crazy. Going. That makes it sound like it's some sort of a journey. I wonder if you can get there by plane. Or if you can take more than 2 suitcases that weigh 5olbs each, because that is all I can take on my next journey. Which is in less than a month by the way. And I still have no home.
Ok, I had this goal that I wouldn't post until I had anything important to say. Then I failed to accomplish my goal. But no! I DO have something useful to say. In fact, I will say it. Eventually. Now. So Becky and I were speaking in perfect Russian the other night. No wait, that part was a dream. But I'm pretty sure Becky and I were talking. Becky, correct me if I'm wrong. Regardless, we came up with a really stinkin' cool (I miss Bobtodd) idea. It goes like this: We all pick an alphabet from omniglot.com (those of you that have been there already like 8 million times know perfectly well what I'm talking about and those of you who haven't...be less uncool.) and we learn it and all write to each other in it! It'll be like a secret code! Becky and I vote for Shavian because it was developed as an alternative to the Latin alphabet for writing English and so it naturally makes sense for writing English. Also, it's really cool beacause it makes use of voiced and unvoiced opposites! Plus, it looks pretty. So anyone else, feel free to add any new ones to the ballot, and if no one says anything, Becky and I will just start writing y'll (picture Kevin in my head when I say that) in Shavian! So get ready!

shavian sounds most acceptable
futhark holds a special place in my heart, but shavian is also cool
ps. have you explored the area where people post languages they made up themselves? those are most cool
I am SO on the Shavian. That's brilliant.
