I’ve been way too serious lately. I feel like it hasn’t come out a lot, like maybe others can’t pick up on it, but in my head I just can’t stop. My brain won’t let me sleep (like right now) and I’m just left to thinking about shit that eventually, will work out. It always does. 

I just seem to always find myself battling with my inner self that I just want to do things the way I want to do them, at my own pace and battling with the outside world telling me that this and this is what is expected of me and I’m somehow a lesser of a person for not measuring up.

There is a lot of unnecessary pressure. I tell myself, and others, all the time that it’s insignificant yet I seem to be falling victim to it a lot recently.

I guess a lot of serious things just keep happening and it’s hard for me to step back and put things in perspective.

I’m no different than anyone else. Everyone battles this.

I guess I’m just really tired. Like everyone. We all are.

I just want a good night’s sleep.

“To say to a T means that something is exactly or precisely so. An example appeared in a film review in the Fresno Bee on 30 September 2005: “As Oliver, Barney Clark fits the description to a T: He’s small, angelic and suitably cowed by all the world has to throw at him.” And Jerome K Jerome had some fun with it in Three Men in a Boat in 1889: “Harris said, however, that the river would suit him to a ‘T’. I don’t know what a ‘T’ is (except a sixpenny one, which includes bread-and-butter and cake ad lib., and is cheap at the price, if you haven’t had any dinner). It seems to suit everybody, however, which is greatly to its credit.”

You can see from Jerome’s usage that the expression is quite old. In fact, it was first written down almost exactly two centuries before. That rules out the possibility that it’s connected with T-shirt, which has been suggested as the origin, but which isn’t recorded before about 1920. Finding out where it came from turns out to be rather difficult — there are several candidates, but nobody knows for sure. The obvious suggestion is that it comes from a tee in golf (or just possibly curling). Another is that it refers to a T square (a term that appears at about the same date), or to the correct completion of the letter t by crossing it. No evidence exists that links any of these to the expression.

The origin that most experts point to, rather cautiously, involves T being the first letter of a word. If this is the case, then tittle is easily the most likely source, since to a tittle was in use in exactly the same sense for nearly a century before to a T appeared (it’s first recorded in a play by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher of 1607 with the title Woman Hater: “I’ll quote him to a tittle”).

We know tittle now mostly in the set expression jot or tittle, meaning some very small amount and in which both words refer to a tiny quantity. Jot comes via Latin from Greek iota, the smallest letter of the Greek alphabet, which we also still use to refer to some minuscule amount; tittle is from the same Latin word that has given us title, but has usually been taken to mean a small stroke or mark in writing, notably the dot over the letter i.”

Thank you internet for solving my problems.

Just so you know.

Thanksgiving was so good. Thanks again to the Robot’s family for being so generous as to invite me over.

Dinner was amazing. I DID HAVE MASHED POTATOES! Yumm yummm. The thurkey was oh so tender and the stuffing was probably the best I’ve had EVER.

My tummy paid for it later, but it was more than worth it.

I ended up playing Telephone Pictionary for the first time and realized that when pressured I’m not very good at drawing. I am, however, pretty decent at writing under pressure. Very interesting considering I went to school for ART.

I also played Yahtzee, which I haven’t played for years! I ended up getting two Yahtzees! Yepp. I was pretty pumped. :)

I did end up getting a little sad about not being able to see my family. I miss them a lot. It’s been years since I’ve been able to spend a holiday with them.

But, as I said, I am so happy my Thanksgiving went the way it did. So so happy.
I got some quality time with my robot and hopefully her family is warming up to me. :)
