Au commencement...

There was light. And, if at the beginning, there was light, one must assume that from the light came the darkness; and therefore that in all darkness there is light; which really puts an optimistic view on life and darkness in general, unless one is a vampire, in which case I have just ruined your existence with one simple run-on sentence.
I'm not sure if I feel ashamed or not to start a blog; probably it will turn out that I will write once, three times tops, and then get bored and this will become a chore and probably I'll guilt-trip myself into writing things that
a) nobody cares about and
b) nobody is reading anyways because
c) you have better things to with your time and
d) so do I.
But, one never knows the full impact and limits of a simple act, thought, painting, or assassination, so what the hell.

You know what I dislike? The word cute, and being called cute, because it is such a superficial word. I mean, really; everyone uses the word cute to describe things they don't find cute at all. Boys call girls cute when really they mean they aren't that pretty and have nothing else to offer but the boys have a conscience, (other than my boy, apparently) and mothers use it to describe other people's children, because they could never use it on their own who are constantly crying and smelling and throwing and demanding to the point of their mothers wanting to defenestrate them (defenestrate being inserted for the benefit of the team) (it means to throw someone out a window, what a spectacular word), and small children (and me) use it to define puppies and kitties and sometimes feeder fish and delusional people call monkeys and birds cute, and I don't want to be in the same category as either of the latter.
So I say that the world is in dire need of a refresher and a thesaurus; I dare you to go outside and find something adorable and call it charming, or dainty, or attractive, perky, delightful, appealing, captivating, or sublime. And if it is none of these things, do not bother to open your mouth, because the world is better off without your egregious lying anyways.
