04:25 am - A new favourite word.
Do you know the difference between asinine and anserine? A lot of people might say I'm the former, but I think I'm probably more the latter. Both words do mean stupid, but I think asinine means more stubborn stupidity and anserine means more silly stupidity.

I'm definitely going to carefully consider which word would be more appropriate in future.

It's probably appropriate that I think of myself as more fitting into the latter category, since while asinine also has the meaning of resembling an ass, anserine also has the meaning of resembling a goose!
