So perhaps this is the kava kava talking, but I think my "insecurity anxiety" had become "excitement anxiety". Is this a temporary manic phase? Do I care? I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. What the fuck does that mean, anyway? Is it anyway related to the Trojan horse? Hmmm....

It's 11:11 -- make a wish.

Nope. Not the trojan horse (wouldn't that be 'don't look a gift horse in the belly'?)

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth makes sense if you know that you can tell the general age and health of a horse by it's teeth.

In otherwords, if someone gives you something nice unexpectedly, don't look too closely, or you might discover stuff you don't want to know.

yeah -- after I looked it up, I remember reading about the whole judging-horses-by-there-teeth phenomenon before.

Yay for trivia nerds!! We should have an LJ convention that include Trivia Pursuit.
