Did you know graffiti comes from the Greek meaning 'to write?'
Me, neither. I learned it this past weekend while I was watching a documentary about something or other.
God, but I do love my documentaries.

About Me
- Party Girl
- I am perpetually perky always optimistic yet slightly cynical. I am incredibly honest. I am honest, open, judgment free, and most importantly - honest. I'm a dork. I'm creative. I love trivia. I always have gum. I talk with my hands. I make faces at people. I'm sarcastic as hell. I adore vodka. And Beer. And wine. If it's fermented, I am probably a fan. I believe in laughing as often as possible. I am the girl next door. I am quick with a wink and a smile and a good laugh. Don't be hateful. This is my world, you're just visiting. I appreciate you stopping by.

It's no coincidence that I do my best writing in the bathroom. So far I haven't been caught.
I guess they all originate from the latin root, "graph" which means write. Hence, Photograph = "to write the light" and so on. It's really interesting how completely unrelated words are connected by these roots
My favorite documentary was the one on the history of the porn industry. I think it was called "The History of Long Don Silver" on The History Channel.
P: And it's no coincidence that I do my best reading there as well.
DNA: Word origins are very interesting to me.
Angry: Hmmm, something tells me there is a tall tale in there somewhere...
