I have just experienced an evening in which I could not utter a coherent, brunette thought. I have also just experienced an evening in which I could not shut up.
Note: When having extended blonde moments, keep your mouth shut in class discussion.

I kept mispronouncing Oneida, until the professor corrected me. I objected to the analogous comparison of methodology between slave emancipation in the 19thC and removing a stolen wallet from a thug on Commercial St. I was right, my thought was fine, but it came out so jumbled that this guy, whose voice I despise and he creeps me out, said “What I *think?* you’re saying is…” which is what *I* do to people, only ten times more nicely, when they’re idiots but they’ve got a decent thought going and need help formulating it.
and it just continued.

How does on pronounce Oneida?
Poor Lorien. You must get Creepy Despicable Boy back somehow.

onEYEda. apparently. Grandmother had corrected me on the pronounciation the previous day, too.
BTW: The Oneida thing? Look! I had no idea. I read the entire section of the chapter that discussed this before I linked Oneida with ONEIDA products.
