Sounds right. :B

Should be right. :B Stupid actual definitions.

Somethings the actual definitions don't even make sense! D: For instance, what does pique sound like it should mean?

See, to me that one sounds like it means what it does mean. :c Well, the aroused interest definition, not so much the annoyance one. It seems too cute for that. o_o

It always sounded to me like it should be similar to catching someone's attention. D: Y'know, "it piqued her interest" or something. No where near annoyance. o_o

Isn't it similar to catching someone's attention, though? o_o Like "the shiny object piqued her interest because she was a magpie, so she went to investigate."

I had thought so, but every definition of it I've read has said otherwise. o_o

tightly woven fabric with raised cords
cause to feel resentment or indignation; "Her tactless remark offended me"

Huh, waddaya know. o_o It's sad that I had to go to Wikipedia to find a definition that included curiosity in it, though. So change that to almost every definition I've read. xD;

On Google dictionary it has curiousity on there! C: So that's two. Yay!

Oh, awesome! <3 That means I haven't been completely using it wrong. :'D Normally I just use the define:*word* function. I didn't know Google had a dictionary. c: Heh, the more you know~

If you google a word, it usually has a link to the definition next to where it says how many results you got. c: They just changed it to google dictionary, it used to link you to the page on some other website that I've forgotten, but I liked it much better. o_o

Oh spiffy, it does! 8D I had never noticed that before. *blind, apparently*

It's a nice little tool. c:

It is indeed. c:

.... Darnit, I ran out of candycane. :c *hunts for peppermint tea*

I want a candycane! D: ...Except ours are like three years old. o_o

Ohmai. o_o Do candycanes even last that long? *tries to send you one through the monitor*

Not in an edible state, no. :B Every winter is an adventure of staring at the tree and wondering which candycanes are new and which are years old. XD

I'll bet it is! xD We don't put candycanes on our tree, almost solely because it's so small that a few of the things would topple it over. :B I miss our old big tree.

We have a medium tree at my pa's (some years, depends if he feels up to going to get one) and a big tree at my ma's. *nod nod* *pats your family's little tree* <3

It's a very cute little tree, though, so that's good. :'D And a lot less annoying to right if a cat knocks it over. :B

Cute things are wonderful! <3 Oh yes, I imagine that's a bonus. :'D

"No, Grace, don't love that-" *CRASH* "... well, at least the ornaments are plastic and it isn't two feet taller than I am."

It is a wonderful bonus. :'D

Haha, oh the joy of cats. :'D

*looks at clock* Aw. Guess I'd better wander off to finish my book before bed. :c See you tommorow!

Alrighty, I should do the same. c: Night!

Evening! Today felt so long. x_o

Long days are never fun. D:
