Everyone's good at something

I think that everyone is good at something. Some people are good at two things and some three, some even more and those people are called Renaissance Humaen. But nobody is good at nothing. I believe this because there are so many *things* you can do. If you think you aren't good at anything I'm certain you just haven't tried the thing you're good at. Or perhaps you have, and you haven't recognized it.

That said, it doesn't mean that everyone is good at something useful

I think that I've discovered what I'm good at, and it is making up words. I do it all day in my head, combining words, inventing suffixes, throwing letters around, reversing and jumbling words... all to form glorious new words!

And it's really fun! I enjoy every moment of it. I wish there were a culture for word inventing... like if there were large conventions with people sitting at booths with pages of words they've made up. People would be milling around buying new words, networking, socializing, collaborating...
This is why I like urban dictionary, it's the closest thing I have to that. But alas, half the creative energy goes into explanations of sexual innuendos and other perverted or worldly practices... (and a large majority of the other half goes towards parameterizing 1337 SP34K!) MLIA...

Here's some words I made up, with the meanings I made to go with them, though they could mean anything since they're undefined except by me. And I'm not Shakespeare, Merriam or Webster or anyone who somehow acquired the right (or authority?) to define the meanings of words.

Nommerva - Java that eats things
Saufacle - those thick-rimmed acetate glasses hipsters wear.
brike - a pirate cussword meaning both solid and liquid waste together.
Galves - On's friend's son. What a cute nickname... (I didn't make this one up but I'm kinda obsessed with eyezmaze)
eufane - Something that is beautiful in it's unholiness
Nirvanha - A feeding frenzy of calm euphoria. Pure joy erupting inside, but a calm precise focused energy externally.

There is plenty more... but I don't want to go on forever. Maybe later!
