nerd alert
i've recently finished reading angels and demons and it's the first time i've read a book in a long long time. i just couldn't put it down and i finished it in 3 days over last weekend. the book was soo well-written and i learned so much, as in vocabulary. i mean, i read it with a dictionary beside me, cuz although i could figure out the meaning by the context, i really wanted to know what the word itself means.
this curiosity on new word definitions continued with "rent," as you probably read below.
so on that note, i learned 2 new words today. i actually learned 4, but my mind got really excited over these two (yes, excited, i got excited):
ought: did you know that this was a past particple of owe? as in, you ought to know that=you owe it [to yourself] to know that. weird huh?
denouement: this was just interesting cuz it looks so cool. i love french based words, cuz they look so pretty. anyway, it just means the resolution to a plot, not the climax, but immediately after.
yes, you can call me a nerd.

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
