1 I used to want to be a lexicographer.
2 I keep reading things that could have inspired things I've already written. There's probably a word for this. There's probably a book called Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Mind.
3 There is a book called The Age of Wire and String. There are not words for this.
4 I just finished draft 2 of my Boy Scout word mess. Draft 1: 60 titles. Draft 2: 60 (4-6 line) word chunks. Draft 3: be prepared.
5 I enjoyed reading this poem and this story. They both mention American Samoa. I recommend listening to Ryan Ridge read his story.
6 From Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary: "Faith, n. Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel." The entire Devil's Dictionary is here.
7 I try to visit Bright Stupid Confetti every Wednesday. This week I particularly enjoyed being reminded of Rabbit Light Movies and discovering I Love Hot Dogs, thanks Chris Higgs.
8 I like being solicited. That's so nice of you people.
9 I live here.
10 I used to live here, and I was born here.
