It’s a taxing entry, certainly. Please ignore its confusing and verbose nature and go and enjoy music or browse a comic if it vexes you. Regardless, grant me patience for this entry.

I consider it very important to relate in this journal the curious story of my appetite for destruction, achieved by searching (during dinner) for foolish examples of origin as opposed to performing necessary tasks in the office.

The problem is, admittedly, that the sentence refuses to be rushed. Regardless, I have achieved beauty, if not rapidity.

BRB, going to punch some flowery ancestors in the throat.

This is pretty awesome. The verbs to be and have are still OE, though. Also, the 'back' part of BRB. Mwahahaha.

It's in small letters so it doesn't count! Them's the rules and dear God, I'm counting the OE and Fr tally even as I write. Hahaha.

BUT WHERE DID AWESOME ORIGINATE

BECAUSE OE IS TOTALLY FUNCTIONAL
AND TO IT YOU OWE YOUR EXISTENCE
WHOOHOO

The 'awe' bit is Old Norse, apparently! That is just so typically me!

What was the premise for this? I can't quite figure it out from your comment. At first I was thinking, 'oh, it'll be one of those things where you can't use a certain vowel', but then I found them all...

*intrigued*

We were being dorky about the etymology of English words and where Spanna was talking of OE stuff, I decided to Latin!Represent by writing to her in mainly French-origin words. Except that all the freaking important words and articles are OE in origin, so it's virtually impossible and takes about ten hours to construct one sentence with a majority of French-based words.

But it was funnnnnnnn :D
