zenzizenzizenzic
wordjournal:
noun • the eighth power of a number
Wikipedia: The 16th century Welsh mathematician Robert Recorde coined the term to “doeth represent the square of squares squared”. Compositionally, zenzic means “squared”, so zenzizenzizenzic means “the squared squared squared”, or algebraically, ((x2)2)2 = x8. zenzizenzizenzic has the most z’s of any recorded word in English.

Dear Self,
You’re going to be fine.
Sure you’re a little moody, and a little crazy, and a little unsure of everything you want. (Being honest, who isn’t?) But you’re fine.
The answers will come. You will understand what you’re supposed to be doing. You’ll find someone to love. And you’ll figure it out eventually.
You will, and you know it.
In the meantime, keep...

Rekindling
Well, finally had some time to myself today. And instead of studying, tumblr caught my eye on my bookmarks tab. Two hours later I just had to say that it is as great as ever and I can’t believe I haven’t looked at it for over 4 months.

Best Quote from "Skins (Ep: Chris)
Cassie: Do you know what hurts most about a broken heart? Not being able to remember how you felt before. Try and keep that feeling, because if it goes... you'll never get it back.
Chris: What happens then?
Cassie: You lay waste to the world, and everything in it.

I Live in the Twentieth Century I live in the Twentieth Century and you lie here beside me. You were unhappy when you fell asleep. there was nothing I could do about it. I felt helpless. Your face is so beautiful that I cannot stop to describe it, and there’s nothing I can do to make you happy while you sleep.

I want you to know one thing.

I’d just like to say, despite being often jokingly cynical about the world (and sometimes not so much), truly cynical and negative people annoy the heck out of me.
I met someone at a dinner party the other night, and we got to talking about the state of the world: the impending economic recession, the state of education in Australia, the drought, climate change etc. We had pretty similar...
