xoxopossumgirl replied to your post: Thanks for the gramatical help homie. It’s been a long day.
*Grammatical!!! ~Correcting myself here too because you answered that message privately and now people can’t see that I corrected myself and probably think I am an imbecile.
Publishing just so the world can have a really good look at Caitlin correcting herself.

As much as you might try to kid yourself, as you while away pointless hours on the internet, that nothing means anything anyway, the fact remains that if you get off your arse and do so-called ‘meaningful things’, your brain will do an excellent job of making you feel meaningful. And that’s what counts really.

Very good, but oh so very intense too.

No, it’s the one where he gets knocked out by a falling star!
Ohhhhh….. that’s right, it’s coming back to me now.

Wright and Wrong
We should alter the spelling of ‘right’ (only when it means correct or proper) so it forms a nicer opposite to ‘wrong’

The XXXX Summer Bright Lager
Is a dull dull dull boring dull beer. And at 4.2% abv - 1.1 standard drinks to a stubby, it’s rather ineffectual for inebriation purposes.
Good for speedy skolling and that’s about it.

Reblog if your Tumblr picture is actually you.
Yep, that’s right, I’m finally coming out here, I actually have no corporeal form, I exist solely as a somewhat grainy photograph on the internet.
I just didn’t realise there were 330000 others in the same situation. I’m just glad to know I’m with people who will now fully understand me.

I dont see why Democrats should be happy with just good enough or these small changes. Over the last three years he has still failed to close guantanomo bay, he bailed out banks without those responsible being punished, he increased drone attacks and extra judicial...

Oh du lieber Augustin
“Oh du lieber Augustin” (“Oh, you dear Augustin”) is a Viennese song, composed by Marx Augustin in 1679.
At this time Vienna was struck by the bubonic plague (see Great Plague of Vienna) and Augustin was a ballad singer and bagpiper, who touredVienna‘s inns entertaining people. The Viennese loved Augustin because of his charming humour in bitter times and they called him...

Farewell Christopher Hitchens
You were a remarkable man with a remarkable mind; you will be missed.
But I am thankful that even in death, you can still open my eyes to new and exciting words like mendacious.

....I'm back!
Hello there!
Had an excellent week at Sunderland Bay, Phillip Island. There were friends, and swimming, and beaches, and bike-riding, and movies, and tv shows, and books, and music, and poker, and other games, and good food, and probably an excessive amount of standard drinks.
There was actually a lot of riding, three of us rode 86km to get there, 77km from Brunswick to Stony Point, where we...

A political rant
catpolitics:
Politics is far more than just abortion and homosexual rights. Whilst both are incredibly important to take into consideration when deciding for which party to vote for, politics in itself exceeds those two areas.
Don’t get me wrong, discrimination of marriage between same sex couples is disturbing to say the least, and needs to be rectified. And in regards to abortion, there...

Well that's a relief.
johannesvandergraaff:
That’s one of the worrying subjects passed, with flying colours of a score of 53.
That’s gives me two H1’s and a 53, and one unknown score to come. Not a very good score coming, mind you, it carries a risk of a fail too. What a strange dichotomy, nothing mediocre, just 2 really good scores, and 2 likely bad scores.
Update: passed everything! Giving me an 84,80,53 and 51.
