Occasionally, even I know words... and managed to help Rynn through that knowledge! Well, it was Inky, really, reminding me about my notes. They're basically my dictionary, and secretary, and a bunch of other important roles. It's real helpful!

THY MEMORY IS LIKE A SPONGE. HIGHLY ABSORBENT, YET FULL OF HOLES!

Yeah? It's like, why I keep this diary, anyhow. Though I only write about the interesting stuff... so, I've got you for the utterly boring stuffs and things! I guess the word was sort of interesting, though...

IT WAS PIVOTAL! AN ABUNDANT ABUTMENT! THROUGH IT, CONTEXT IS REVEALED!

Oh, I guess it does do that... Oh well. It's not like anybody asks me about stuff like that. It's like, audits and taxes. And then they get real mad that I don't know the exact numbers, because they're utter bores. Like, you're going to forget them anyhow! Why do you care...? Anyhow, words are far more interesting than numbers, so, I guess I'd appreciate if I knew the entirety of the Colossi vocabulary! Though I'm not really sure what I'd do with that knowledge, anyhow... Like, I'd write some letters to the Ayyabas, maybe? Or maybe Alkab. I'd ask them a bunch of stuff, like, ancient recipes and such.

ALL THE DISC'S KNOWLEDGE AT THY GRASP, AND THOU WOULD ASK FOR A BETTER SHAKSHOUKA! SUCH SQUANDER!

Well, I could actually use that myself, and like I said, it's not like anyone ever asks me about anything useful, anyhow, so... at least it'd benefit our household!

Dreams are a real source of inspiration... my latest design was given to me through just them! And no, it isn't whale-themed, or whatever... It's unicorns, instead! Well, I dreamt about this herald, whom rode on a mighty unicorn! Mighty beautiful, that is. My dreams don't really have that sort of machismo, usually. A deeper beauty is found instead, granted by the juxtaposing qualities of androgyny! So yeah, the herald was hot, hot, hot! They just happened to be wearing a most striking outfit, too... the reconstruction of which I hope to be most pleasing to all the heralds of the Well! It's not the most abundant profession, but still...

I guess I could do something whale-themed... Hit that fatso demographic. Yet once you take that road, you can never return, so... nah.

It does make me wonder, however... It's my dream, but it came from somewhere...? So, is it truly my own design? It's not like I can remember the entirety of it all... It's just kind of a faint echo of what I think I saw in the dream, so, maybe that's enough for it to be truly original? Yeah, I think so. And well, everything comes from somewhere, so... if this isn't enough, nothing is! Yeah!

Anyhow, such dreams are simply pleasant. Now, I'm wondering if I should get an unicorn tattoo...? I've been considering tattoos a lot. Maybe a peacock! Or just go wild and get a whole lot of them... or maybe I should just maintain the natural look...? Motifs are important, and they're like, achieved only through maintaining them... I think. Oh, I'm just babbling, really! Mostly because I feel really good about this design! It's so grand!

As fun as tennis is, I really need a new hobby, because the more hobbies you have, the more relaxed you are. And I need to relax a lot! So, I'm finally picking up ballet, again. I guess it's not really a new hobby, because it's just a different sort of dancing, and I've tried it before...? Yet it's not like everything in my life has to be completely new. Anyhow, I got my ballet skirt, because like, it's far more fun spinning in a skirt, than just leggings? You kind of become a living dreidl. It's grand!

Also gives me an excuse to wear a skirt more, too... A true tailor wears all the articles of clothing that they make! You cannot understand style if you do not feel it... And so, by becoming a ballerina, I can learn how to make skirts that bear no restrictions on one's graceful motion! It just makes perfect sense, you know?

I've already got an idea for a new turn... I call it the "reverse pirouette"! It's like a pirouette, only you get up on one hand, and spin around, balancing on it! I'm already pretty good at it... I don't know why they don't already do this at shows...? It's graceful, and a great deal of fun! Also, it builds core strength... I think. So, you get at least three benefits out of it. That's pretty grand!

Orin's a real big nerd! Which is unfortunate, because he radiates that trait to such an extent, that now a big ol' bully has set his eyes on him! He was giving a lecture on magick... which, by the way, didn't actually teach any magick tricks, which is really lame... when this big ol' feller came in, and started throwing doo-doo at him! Actual poo! It was horrible! I tried washing him off with citric acid, but that didn't help any... It was some strong shit.

Didn't help that he soiled himself, too! So embarrassing... I'm not sure how he can appear in public after that...? It's perfectly understandable if he seals himself in the dormitory for all eternity after this!

I offered him some help on how to become less of a nerd, yet he refused! I don't get it. I don't even charge for my services! I'd have given him a training routine... introduced him to some strongmen... taught him a few healthy recipes... most of which involve grapes and legumes, because the powerful nutrients contained within wash away the nerd... Like, I'd have given him so much, yet he decided to stay a nerd, instead! I guess staying true to yourself is important, but like, can't you be like, just slightly less of a nerd? One of the rare strong ones... that get like, so obsessed about their exercise, that they make statistics about it...? That still won't get you any dates, but at least you'll look great?

I should ask Cogsworth to invent a poo reflector... Someone throws shit at you, and it bounces right back at them! Such a thing would come useful surprisingly often around here...
