I miss you more than I could ever find the words to explain. I know it’s just a month to go, but nothing has ever went the way we’ve planned and it’s just tearing me to pieces right now. I am entirely overwhelmed with the circumstances life has brought our way. I cannot wait for this stressful time to be over so we can just enjoy each other. You work so hard and hardly complain. Just to see us reach our goals. You are my sunshine. My best friend. And I cannot wait to be in your arms again.

peninsula

peninsula comes from the Latin paene īnsula, literally ‘almost an island’. How cute is that?

Langblr.

If ever you're in France, accompanied by your kitty cat, and you find yourself unintentionally (and quite unexpectedly) projecting intestinal gas produced within the body by bacteria that has broken down food, and said kitty cat looks a little alarmed, and you don't know what to say, well. Fortune smiles upon you this day. Consider #langblr your knight in shining linguistic armor. Chat, j'ai pété.

It really can happen to anyone. But langblr is here for all your polyglot needs: learning how to say chai tea in Czech, the frankly adorable etymology of peninsula, Greek paleographic fonts, for words of support for those underway with their language-learning adventures, or if you're in need of some support yourself. It is a particularly wholesome corner of Tumblr, for those with an interest in the slow-burn magic of learning another language.

Imagine if you will a complete inversion of a boorish American on St. Patrick’s Day. Imagine an Irishman who aggressively celebrates the Fourth of July with unabashed gusto, who desperately tries to claim the significance of some alleged 1/32 American heritage, who wears a shirt with an eagle turning into an American flag and who drinks a specialty red, white, and blue novelty beverage until he collapses in a pool of tricolor vomit. Imagine some guy so invested in a superficial, touristy version of Americaness that he will nervously call the side with his $20 “authentic” hamburger “freedom fries” out of fear of offending. Imagine a guy who upon meeting any American will try to strike up a friendly conversation by asking them what their favorite gun is and talking about how personally inspiring he finds Abraham Lincoln.

You must understand, as you prepare to read the May 24th entry of this novel, that this Irishman is Bram Stoker.
