Am I easily confused, or am I confusing? I've been wondering this for the past few days, because I have realized that often, when talking to friends, we become confused. Quite easily. Either we confuse ourselves trying to explain something confusing, or we are confused by the confusion that comes from being ourselves and being easily confused. I confuse myself and others because-ahem-I enjoy imensely the fun of confusing people; especially Claire. (Sorry Claire, I speak not but the truth) The problem is I confuse myself in attempting to confuse other people, and therefore, confuse myself at a higher level, and what was supposed to make sense in a bizarre confusing way, is no longer a sane confusion at all, but an insane confusion, and I confuse myself in trying to make it sound sane, and therefore, I am confused in my attempt to confuse other people, and those who I was trying to confuse, have no idea what I'm talking about, which doesn't really bother me, because if they did it would defeat the whole purpose in confusing them, so my theory in confusing them techinically worked, the problem is I confused myself along with them.
Does any of this make any sense?
I'm so confused.

The word "confuse" comes from ancient latin; "con," meaning to con someone, and "fuse" which is actually the root word in french from which we have our english "foosball." Originally the french stole the word "fuse" from the teutonic tribes, because they thought that that would "gaul" them...ahem. The germans would use an adaptation of the word "tischfussball" to indicate when they thought someone was sufficiently lost in a conversation.
I'm just confused...
To Ben:
HUH? I'm thouroughly tischfussball...or something.
how very clever!
