"CUTE"
I have a list of three words. These words, are all words that I despise. The least hated word, is "tall," because Ive always been told by adults how "tall" Ive become since they last saw me. Most of these types of adults, are freinds of the family, whom I havent seen since I was like 12. OF COURSE IM TALLER NOW!!!
The most hated word in my list, is "moist." I have no real dispute or ongoing distaste for the word, and I never hear it in normal life. But I hate the word, I dont like the way it sounds...
Its the word in between that should concern the readers, as I named the title of this post after the cursed word. In case you havent noticed, or are too lazy to look at the title again, the word it "cute."
I have several reasons why I despise this word. Mostly, its because I hear this word EVERYWHERE, and the subject to which I hear this word, has lately been around me.
The nurses at work keep calling me cute whenever I answer a question or say something with a scandalous hint of sarcasm, or humor. The nurses also believe that Anna and I are cute together, and that we should go out (we havent told anyone at work, so they still think we're just freinds, but somehow, they all know, residents and nurses. But thats another story...).
I dont receive compements very well, so when I'm called cute, by anyone, I dislike it... a lot. But being the decent human being I am, I have to accept the complement in silent hatred, while making a joke about it, so the complementor feels good about what they just said.
Anna also hates the word cute, so I feel like its my duty, as her boyfriend, to also hate it, regardless as to whether or not she cares.
So there you go, Tall, Cute, and Moist. The three worst words in the english language.
(in my opinion)

PHI
Phi is a number, pronounced like fee. It is the number 1.618. This odd little number, is thought to some, as the divine proportion. In other words, this planet, and every living thing on it, seems to revolve around it. Heres how, take a measuring tool, and measure from your shoulder, to your elbow, then from your elbow to the tips of your finger. Divide the larger number (the elbow-finger) by the smaller (the shoulder-elbow), and you should get 1.618 as an answer.
Now measure from the top of your head, to your waistline, then from your waistline, to your feet. Repeat the process, and calculate, you should get 1.618.
Now try elbow to wrist, then wrist, to fnger tips.
Now try your finger joints.
Each time, it should be 1.618, a ratio that has determined the appearance and stature of all life on this planet.
Now for something else, as an example of Phi in nature, find a nautilus shell, and do the calculations for the diameter of one spyral and the diameter of the preceeding spiral. 1.618!
The fibinacci sequence, 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 etc, where each number is the sum of the prior two numbers, is also a phi related sequence. As you move up the sequence, divide one number by the previous number in the sequence, ie. 55/34, you will get approxamatlly, 1.618, after rounding. And the pattern continues, forever on and on, honoring Phi.
Just thought I could provide some actual facts for once... thanks for checking in!
