The memory, it betrays

I think I want a new layout. Not sure how I'd want it to look, though. I kind of like the Rounders template, but it's still not quite right - I don't want the subheading right underneath the blog title, like most of the templates have. That's pretty much the only thing I still like about this one.

Meh. I wish I was good enough with html and CSS to actually create something myself instead of having to rely on existing templates.

Why can't I remember what 'perfunctory' means? Bloody word won't stick in my mind (or, won't cross from my short-term memory bank to my long-term one, as my lecturer would put it). Same with 'incensed', 'effervescent' and several others, and I need to know them for tomorrow. And stupid 'loom' doesn't have a decent translation for what it means in my mind. It drives me mental.

I'm way more stressed about this exam than I expected to or should be.

Pff, them words is easy. ;)

Loom... the verb? Like, "the scary thought of ghosts in my bedroom loomed over me like a dark shadow"? Bah, that word's dumb anyway. :P

Well, if they'd just stick in my damn mind, I'm sure I'd feel much better about them. :P

Yup, the verb. The dictionary says it means sort of 'to appear', and that's just not it.
That's one of my favourite words! Don't be mean to it!
