Tiffin reminds me morbidly about coffin and dandy... well, that's just dandy... as in ordinary... trivial...

The weather is meh today. Slightly rainy, very humid. Yuck.
Hmm.. dandy has a completely different meaning over in the US I see. It's amazing how we speak the exact same language yet we have so many different meanings and spellings!

Ehh... you're not referring to my post, are you?
Because I wouldn't have a clue to any meanings to the word... I believe you do know that I'm not American, aye?

I always use dandy when Im describing myself as 'fine'.
For example: 'Yeah, that sounds dandy'.
Love that word

Well... in the Nelly Furtado song All Good Things I have seen lyrics claiming she sings:
"But really life is daily
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming"
and others:
"But really life is dandy"

Ohh don't worry about it. It just confused me for a second. (*cough* I've been accused of worse  ).
I actually believed for a long time that you were American (or lived in the U.S.) because of the times you posted here!

Haha! No, that's just my chronic insomnia acting up. I thought for a while that it was getting better, but it's just become a habit for me to be up late now. JF and Estë are my nocturnal buddies as well.

Oh, do I ever know the pain. I've had it since I was a baby. And now I'm going to be stuck on pills for eternity (oh happy bliss[/sarcasm])
I wonder if it has anything to do with being British... *taps thin thoughtfully*

I don't know when I first started staying awake longer, but I do know it was progressive. Amazingly, I don't get very tired during the day, and I haven't had to take any pills yet, so that's good.
Lol. No, I don't think it's only a British thing. I believe Potr has the same problem.

I dont get tired that easy. Going to bed between 12 midnight and 2 am most nights and getting up at 6 am to go to seminary kinda makes ur body adapt, ( which I still dont like  )
