Discursive = Nudge & I
Laconic, Taciturn, and Terse = Fang
those are the only words i've made associations to with people/ characters out of books. i really am discursive though... but not as much as this guy out of this book i'm reading... wana see? here's a passage!! or five...
"A track which has a ditch on each side of it is called a road. Yes, gentlemen. Now, do you know what a ditch is? A ditch is an excavation on which several people work. It is a hollow. Yes. They work with picks. Now, do any of you know what a pick is?""He stopped officers on the street and engaged them in unendingly long conversations about omelettes, the sun, thermometers, doughnuts, windows and postage stamps."
"At a banquet in the officers' club Colonel Kraus von Zillergut (the guy who is discursive) said quite out of the blue, when there had been mention of Schiller: 'Now, gentlemen, I saw a steam plough yesterday. It was driven by a locomotive, but mark my words, gentlemen, not just by one locomotive, but by two. I see the smoke, I come nearer and there is one locomotive and on the other side another. Tell me, gentlemen, is't that funny? Two locomotives, as though one were not enough.' He was silent for a moment and then remarked: 'When the petol in the car is used up it has to stop. I saw that yesterday too. And then they talk nonsense about perpeetual motion, gentlemen! It doesn't go, it stands still, it doesn't move, it hasn't got petrol. Isn't that funny?'"
that guy totally confused me, and now i can't get the whatchamacallit working right again. it's all... over in the middle. the paragraph thingys. idk. and it's centered... WHY?! i didn't DO anything!!! don't you hate it when you know what someone ELSE is saying, but when they say something and you feel like you should say something, you don't know what you're talking about? sorry... this is really random. loti in geo one time i told my friend she was really random and then asked her if she wanted a grape. cuz i like grapes. yay for grapes!! loti that's random too... oh well. i'm gonna go have some snickerdoodle cookies now... they're my favorite. and if you're wondering why i'm not gonna go eat grapes, it's because i already HAD grapes today... and we finished that scary movie with the lions... yeah. REMINGTON DIED!!! AHH!!! not cool. and John had this dream that his wife & kid came to africa (like they had planned to) and then a lion attacked them and ate them. everyone was scared, but i was angry at the lady for not listening to John... yeah. so John killed the lions (thank goodness!) and because it was based off a true story (AH!) the actual lions are in a museum in Chicago. the movie is called The Ghost and the Darkness, for anyone who wants to watch it. pretty awesome!!! ok. food time now. this is long.
