So the phrase "Speak of the Devil and he appears".... Anyone know where that came from?  Because I was thinking... a lot of phrases like that come from literal occurences.  But one can probably safely assume that there wasn't just some guy who went "Hey what about that Satan, huh?" and *POOF* , things got all red and pitchforky.  I don't know, ( Read more... )

A friend of mine at work mentioned the Canadian national anthem the other day and it's been stuck in my head ever since.  And the sad thing?  I know all the words.  I watch a lot of freaking hockey.

When I was 15 I became Aunt Dee, when my sister had her first child.  Even then I thought I was a bit young to be an auntie.
