<p>That had to be traumatic.</p>
<p>Not just what they looked like, Canadian.</p>
<p>Well, the first two were quite bad ass while the third was just intimidated by her weird friends who could use tools.</p>
<p>Since then it’s been a book you read in reverse.</p>
<p>Newton’s laws are boring.</p>
<p>Latin is hard.</p>
<p>I need to hurry up.</p>
<p>Hello? Anybody here?</p>
<p>So, silly Americans, tell me. Can we think without language?</p>
<p>Yes, someone had to think to make up the language, didn’t they?</p>
<p>Yes, we can. I do it all the time. Why do you think people think of things, and then they can’t put them into words?</p>
<p>So would you say that “smartness” comes with the knowledge of words, and thus the ability to fully express oneself?</p>
<p>I’m exhausted.</p>
<p>Smartness comes with the decision not to take any philosophy/TOK classes.</p>
<p>Who said full expression comes from words? It’s quite a narrow phenomena.</p>
<p>Thinking is fun.</p>
<p>I said you can have whatever you like.</p>
<p>That song is permanently stuck in my head.</p>
<p>I have a stupid Doors song stuck in my head. Which sucks because The Doors suck.</p>
<p>I have “Dima” by Zaho stuck in my head. It’s interesting when I get foreign-language songs stuck in my head, especially when I don’t know the language. I used to listen to Japanese music all the time, and I know all the words to them, but I have no idea what any of them mean. It’s just a jumble of sounds.</p>
<p>I speak a little bit of Japanese.</p>
<p>What doesn’t the Canadian do?</p>
<p>In my bio for the school paper, I wrote that “While I’m not defending high profile defendants in international court, solving world crises, or hosting intellectual tea parties, I write best-selling novels and tend to my collection of exotic shrieking eels.”</p>
