Quote of the Day:
Never lie to someone who trusts you and never trust someone who lies to you.
- From the TV show Dexter
Wise words. Though not my favorite quote, it's probably one of the few that always rings true. If you were wondering, my favorite is; Men do not fear swords, they fear monsters (from Dracula Untold).
Thinking about quotes stears my mind towards words. Is there a word that you love? One that rolls off your tounge and makes you smile every time you say it? Honesty, I have too many to count. Writing fanfiction really helps expand ones vocabulary. Choosing one in particular is a trying task. Writing has also made me realize that I say the and so all the time, in practically every other sentance. I've been trying to cut back on that. At the moment, my progress is minimal. And, with that slight detour of thought, the word that amuses me the most is miffed. Not entirely sure why, but it cracks me up. Miffed. 😄 Miffed is also the emotion I tends to be my default, which causes me to laugh more when I think about it.

Recently, I downloaded one of the many "brain-age" type apps; taking a basic memory test I've come to the sad conclusion I'm an imbecile. But hey! That's what the game is here for, to help improve memory function.
I'm sure if I'd kept a set schedule learning German, my memory would be in a better shape. Unfortunately, I chose the practice whenever I happen to feel like it method. As always, a mistake. If fact, I probably know more Russian at this point than I do German. Why? You ask. I translate a freaking ton in the game Clash of Kings. However, not a single Russian I've come across has even attempted to try translating English. I will occasionally throw in two or three words to see how they react and it's the same answer from every last one of them. Что? What? Grates on my nerves how they don't even try. Then I remember that I love translating. A time-consuming task, for sure, but worthwhile all the same.
