It's Official - My Blog is like a Diary

I checked out my visitor ratings and for the past few months, I've had a total of....no visitors! What this means is...my blog is officially like a diary! This means I can post up whatever I want, and not worry about the repercussions, because no one will visit. I don't know why I'm happy about this, but I am. Maybe it's cause I like the idea of this blog just floating around in cyberspace, doing it's own thing, this little island of thoughts existing just for me. Small concrete thoughts that could enter someone's head if they happened to drop by, but they don't, and so the thoughts just bounce around in a random Brownian fashion. Thoughts like...

I've made up my mind to start looking up nautical words like frigate and taffrail when I read seafaring adventures, because I've skipped them for far too long! I don't know if you do this too (you probably don't, since you don't exist), but I normally just skim through all the words I don't understand in books like Treasure Island and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Probably the only nautical words I know are starboard and port, and that's because C.S. Lewis actually explains what they mean in Voyage of the Dawn Treader. And okay, a few others, like harpoon and "Ahoy" and "shiver me timbers!" (well maybe not the last one). I've really got to start looking up those words.

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!
