Mikhael Bakthin, ostensibly a Soviet Marxian linguist, wrote that all language is culturally defined, specifically through use. This spoken language, equivalent to what Saussure called parole, stands in opposition to langue which is the theoretical system of language which Sausseurian theory deems 'more central'. So language is not defined by rules, but the rules of language are defined, implicitly, through use.

Evil internet!
Damn you! The way you suck me in and absorb my tired eyes, withering my soul for hours; draining and cooling and wrong wrong wrong...
No.
I'm sorry my sweet. Just tired, I guess.
And a little under stress.
When life starts to accelerate, it can be hard to find your breath.
One's breath. My breath. Whatever!

I used to wish that I was made of words: That this course corporeal frame, necessary, concrete, and blunt, was all nouns solid and firm; that the extension of my core, the depth and colour and shape, my character, draped over that skeletal certainty, all folds and shifts, shadow and nuance, was shaped in elegant epithets and adjectives that wrap, wind, sway, and...

Well done on the essays.
I'm still debating whether or not to see closer..there are about ten other films before I put myself through Julia Roberts.
Nipples hurt like a bitch. Hair cuts don't hurt but their not nearly as fun to get done.
I'm trying to decide whether I should go blonde...I think I'll just stick with dark as the night.

When I was doing my A-levels, aged 17-18ish, I had the privelege of being on a scholarship at a rather posh school in North London. I was, however, sentenced to the reject class... we weren't the science geeks; we weren't the jocks; we didn't hang out with the others... we rejected them, and they rejected us. Fair play,...

there's no sadness.
well we'll see how long we'll be gone first. It could be hard to go to different places if we're not there for so long.
I really wish we get to go soon.

what nibbles on your cerebral (insert body part that you like nibbled)?

Wouldn't you just rather look at nipples?
What really does it for me? Hmm, eyes, sexy eyes, a soft touch and sheer unexpected unplanned passion
What gets my goat - bank managers
employers who aren't willing to be flexible enough to allow someone willing to work, actually return to work in order to feed her family
Have fun at college
Smooches

what gets me...
the inability to inderstand quantam physics entirely. dicussing the limit - that of our own imagination. try to answer the questions everyone seems to ponder on but never understand. and it gets me passionate. trying to explain my theories of life, the context and connetations which derive from believe in the imagination. our imaginations are the one things that limit us from further possibilities.
blah.
i feel like a guy at the moment, i thought today - jus want to go out and sleep with a random person without emotional attatchment. oh my saying guy in such a label.. apologies.. just a turn of phrase right.
i think i will wallow and drink tonight, maybe feed my brain with my book a little.
very interested by the guy in your entry.

There are those mornings when you wake up, before you even open your eyes, as your brain is just coming to, as it begins to demonstrate awareness of the world without, as it shifts from its unconscious orderings and dealings in the realm of Dream towards exchanging that reality for this, and all you can feel is an awareness of weight.

Well that sounds like quite an Australia day you have over there. I can't even remember what sort of public celebrations we had here due to removing myself from the city...as you know.
Your course sounds hard hard hard..I just pick the stuff where I can read books
Shit I should be going to uni as well..I have an interview with Lou Barlow today! (Remember Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jnr). Yay for stuff.

neurotic, you might say...
but as a lover and student of psychology, I don't have much appreciation for online quizzes; even though the questions there more closely approximated actual personality test questions than any other quiz I've seen.
Add to that the accuracy obsession of a math minor and the analyzation of a philosophy minor and we could be here all night...
So, I've snooped your site (admittedly, looking for your picture) and came up empty handed...

Well I finally did it. 25 later and here I am.
There is nothing quite like looking AND touching. Is there?
Since no one out there has any reason to read this yet, I'd like to take a little moment to welcome myself into the folds of SGland...
Hola ads! How nice to meet you. Be welcome, & make yourself at home.
Please, stick you...
