(or, 'For Us Depressed, Stubborn Souls') I'm M, I'm 21, I study at the University of Edinburgh in... yeah, you guessed it, Edinburgh. Love it. Most of the time, anyway. In my spare time I mostly just goof about.
Anyway. Whoever you are; hope you're finding something to smile about in my tumblr (feel very welcome to tell me so in my ask). Or on any other tumblr. Our outside the interwebz. I just hope you're smiling!
Love, love, love,
me.

“I love ambiguity more than most people” is of course ambiguous, since it could mean “I love ambiguity more than most people (love ambiguity)” or “I love ambiguity more than (I love) most people.” And in the case of some linguists, both of those propositions may have positive truth values.

- My friend Tori: This is what we call Robb fucks up.
- Me: Of course he's fucking up, he's on the bottom.
Woha… I am so glad I never grew up with that kind of parents… I think? I mean, I don’t know because I’ve never experienced that, but it must be sick intense, to have everything always planned out, no real self agency from a young age.
Am about to move flat, so packing up my current one - and when this came on I am kinda sorta ashamed to say it totally reminded me of Tumblr. Uh… Hear me out okay?
It’s just that at the very beginning, it totally seriously absolutely sounds like she sings ‘appropriate tag, appropriate tag, appropriate tag’. Which is, y’know, very important on Tumblr… I don’t even know okay, leave me alone.

Metaphors We Live By
Metaphor is a fundamental mechanism of mind, one that allows us to use what we know about our physical and social experience to provide understanding of countless other subjects. Because such metaphors structure our most basic understandings of our experience, they are “metaphors we live by” - metaphors that can shape our perceptions and actions without our ever noticing them.
“Argument is war” - a metaphor that shapes our language in the way we view argument as a war or battle to be won. It is not uncommon to hear someone say “He won that argument,” or “I attacked every weak point in his argument”. The very concept of ‘argument’ is shaped by this metaphor. Argument can be conceptualized in ways other than as a battle, but we use this concept to shape the way we think of argument and the way we go about arguing.
