Logophilia: Words Have Ancestors

I've spent this weekend writing. But I still use a great fraction of my time to research about various things I don't know. I don't want to write anything incorrect, so I spend quite some time abusing the Internet and taking up a lot of the bandwidth at home. :) Also I've told some friends about this blog, and the fact that they may be reading stuff that I write fills me with so much joy :3

I rummage through my labyrinth of thought every night, at times this causes severe insomnia. I think many Earthlings would find this habit familiar. When we try to go to sleep, we are surrounded by tranquility (hopefully this is true for others) after a long day, our brain contemplates everything for us. Sometimes our brain goes wild, that's why we have dreams. I don't think I could live without having dreams. Even though I know they give unnecessary hope sometimes. So, ideas come faster than I can write, which is totally annoying. Plus, I'm barely one third of the way :P

Anyway. I have quite the obsession with words, particularly those that start with vowels (because few words can do without a vowel but a vowel on its own can become a word). I am not a nerd though; just ask my friends. I could spend ten minutes just lying down while staring at the ceiling, thinking about why words are spelled and mean the way they do. We all use words in our daily lives. I do, and you do too. Unless you want to try not speaking for a day (not even to yourself).
