Another Word

I just realized that I never posted this - from over a month ago. Here it is!

Due to recent events in the life of a loved one - I've come up with another interesting word.

Engaged - As in engaged to be married. But really, why engaged - engaged in what? I would hope that if two people are getting engaged, they were engaged in each other before that happened, right? I mean - theoretically if someone came up to you and asked how you are, you could say "engaged". That could mean engaged in this ridiculous paper I have to write today, engaged in eating this delicious meal I have in front of me or engaged to be married. I mean, there are all sorts of things that I'm "engaged" with at any given moment. It just seems like an interesting way to label something like that. I guess I've always thought of engaged as something that is currently happening - engaged in something right in front of you, not in something that is supposed to happen sometime down the road.

That's all.

I guess I will add on here, for the sake of a friend, that one should not be embarrassed or shamed by silly things you don't realize. I mean, I didn't know a cucumber and pickle were the same thing. Really? Really.
