See Ferdinand de Saussure and "Signifier, signified, sign'

I've known about this problem for well over three years now, and have been using it in my English papers ever since.

Any chance someone could tell me what type of literary criticism it is when the writer draws parallels between a short story and, say, the bible? Because I can't quite figure it out.

Never mind. Changed my topic.

Depends on what pieces you're drawing parallels on.

I signed up for NaNo.

Next month is going to be extremely unpleasant either because my GPA is going to suffer or I'm going to be super bitchy at everyone from lack of sleep. I'm the kind of person who needs like eight hours of sleep a night in order to function like a somewhat normal person. At least the Sanitarium will be over with by then...

Oh, speaking of the Sanitarium, it's this haunted house at the end of the month in which I am in an asylum for criminally insane women. We made a trailer last week that's recently been put on YouTube. I am ridiculously excited about it. I know there's probably no way any of you could come see it, but here's the trailer anyway.

I'm the girl with the half-shaved head and the hands in the sink. :D

New cellphone! I've joined the smartphone community now. Not that I'm actually using it as one.

Feck, data is expensive here.

Do any of y'all have any idea how to make a canker sore on the bottom and back of one's tongue go away/stop hurting? (Or what might have caused it?)

Salt water hasn't been effective, although it's possible I'm not doing it right.

According to my Asian parents those are caused by several factors: stress, eating spicy/salty foods, sleeping too little, sleep very late. We have a term for it in Chinese which in the closest form to English I can translate to is "yeet-hai" which is like, too much "hot" which basically says that your body is unbalanced.

I know this sounds like a crock of shit, but I swear it's true. I have no idea the actual medical term, but I know that eating more fruits and veggies, less sodium, deep fried things, baked things, and what not will help (and sleeping more and earlier.) We use this thing called "Mopickgo" or watermelon frost, which helps with cuts in the mouth. Uh, you can get it at the local Asian store. Just ask for Watermelon Frost or "Mo-pay-go".

Stress and lack of sleep definitely make sense as factors. Why must they physically manifest themselves as such a terribly painful thing? WHY?

I should probably improve my diet, buuuuut that's not going to happen so I'll just try to sleep more. I'm not sure if we have a "local Asian store" but I'll order it off of Amazon or something, so thanks.

You may have to search for a local Asian store... I don't know anyone who has been to Colorado IRL so I really can't vouch if there is one. XD but I think they sell it online for like a dollar. It's magic and organic I swear.

Yeah apparently my lifestyle habits are killing me. So now I wake up at 4 to do homework.

A canker sore is a minor form of infection caused by a minor damage to the tissue in your mouth. This can happen fairly easily; your mouth is not a sterile place, and it's full of sharp objects called 'teeth'.

If the saline isn't working, you try Listerine. Will burn really bad, but it works.

I get that, but it's literally on the bottom of the farthest back place on my tongue. It doesn't seem like a normal place to get a canker sore.

Thanks.
