I've just had an amusing thought...although it is sort of a personal thing so forgive me if it's not quite as entertaining as I may think 
You know when someone says something to you and, for no particular reason, it sticks in your head and makes you chuckle every once in a while; then, years later, something happens to put a new perspective on this inconsequential comment? (that's quite involved that so i'll forgive you if you can't say "Yes. Yes I have" to it!)
Well that precise thing has just happened to me...I shall elucidate
and, as Julie Andrews once said, I'll start at the beginning (because it's a very good place to start apparently):
So then, many years ago when I was a mere stripling of a chap going through art college, at the salubrious location of Southport no less, I happened to overhear a Fine Art student talking to one of the Photography lot outside the Design studio...now there was always a thinly veiled animosity between the Fine Art and Graphic Design courses, we thought they were airy fairy wankers and they thought we were elitist cunts...funny how accurate we were o.O...where was I? Ah yes, the conversation, basically the Photography student (I don't know why but they were always impartial...Photography is the Switzerland of the arts eh?) was asking his mate why he didn't go on the design course since, apparently, he'd said he really wanted to do it. He replied with this; "well I was going to but I wanted something more relaxed...I didn't fancy sitting in a straight backed chair listening to fucking opera music all day! Besides, designers are all cunts!"
Now that throwaway comment has consistently tickled me throughout the years, it's just always amused me that someone would make a conscious career choice based on such a preposterous notion! Until today...literally 15 minutes ago...as I sit here in work frantically preparing stuff for a big pitch tomorrow and guess what?

Here I sit...in a straight backed chair...listening to "Le Nozze di Figaro"! o.O
Perhaps it wasn't such a preposterous notion after all? An entertaining moment of...I hesitate to say clarity...let's say rumination instead shall we? Yes that's better ^_^.
He was right about one thing though; I've always been a cunt!

It led me to wonder what is the definition of a cuntish person? Is it a tendency towards cruelty, ill manners? What!?
I favour the word when dropping heavy things at work... It tends to make people recoil when a 'sweet girl' says it to them... So, is being a saying cunt or being one really such a bad thing?Apparently being a pervert is a bad thing too but if being a cunt would save one from the affections of Travolta types I would honestly say 'Good show! A cunt forever I shall be!' ^_~
Days of inactivity can go fuck themselves.
Arbitrary choices made on flimsy grounds maketh the man.
