Stray thoughts

[luzula]

1) Freudian misreading of the day: Pascal's Pensées, read as Pascal's Penises.

2) Must finish Yuletide. Not much left to go now! Must also obtain Christmas gifts. Must graaaaade exams. Must sleep.

3) This is a song that really moved me. It put tears in my eyes the first time I listened to it, probably because it immediately made me think of a specific person I know, someone who does not give themselves enough credit.

Oh! That song's lyrics are so sad, and the music is so sad. Together they,re like the very last call of the very last owl (her cousin is hooting right now in the spruce).

I know, it's so sad, but also so full of love! Apparently Diana Jones wrote it about a friend of hers.

My 4-yr-old son once announced, out of the blue, apropos of nothing, that everybody should have two penises. I'm sure Pascal would have agreed. Freud too, prolly :-)

Did you tell him that snakes have two penises? : )

[alltoseek]

GODDAMN SNAKES! Why they so lucky?!?

<.<

Even the females? Kid couldn't believe it when I explained that girls don't have penises*, and that meant that even I, as a female, didn't have a penis. He was about 8 at the time and absolutely horrified: "No, mom, NO!!!"

>.>

Come to think of it, that prolly explains why Jack Aubrey doesn't like snakes: part srsz envy, and part being intimidated :D

I did tell boys about barnacles and their claim to penis fame. I think there ought to be a biology class for boys all about penises - all the variety of them in the animal kingdom. Would totes grab their interest! :D
