A Flat Phone Call
Nearing 6:30 p.m. where I stopped listening to my music I made the effort to give Lyssa a call because I didn’t get to speak to her last night due to the fact that Shawn and Tatton were over so early. Lyssa was not the first to answer the phone, her mum put me onto her. Lighting herself up a cigarette the instant she picked up the phone she told me she would call me back after she had her smoke.
That surprised me a little because Lyssa usually likes talking to someone while she is smoking but I guess she thought her mother would be a better person to converse with, I would just pick on her habit and make cracks about her addiction.
Ten minutes past and Lyssa decided to give me a call while I was busily identifying the meaning of a new word I have used twice before in this Diary but have never placed a meaning upon it. Well, now the word ‘Prothane’ has a meaning but I will explain that in due time. You could say my conversation with Lyssa was the antonym of ‘Prothane’, the complete opposite, you would probably agree.
Our conversation was uninspiring, depressing, our conversation was far too dormant and superficial. The only real sparkle of conversation we took part in was Lyssa’s cold and how it was clearing up but even then we started raising our voice for no real reasons. The mood was too silent and tension over who would talk first was mounting up. This wasn’t because we were angry at each other, far from it.
Rather, we didn’t have anything to talk about and what made us angrier was that we knew that but kept on the phone anyway because we thought we had to. The conversation ended when I told Lyssa I had to eat and even though food was in front of me that I had half eaten I just used it as an excuse.
Keith Wants A Movie
The next half an hour I was watching my news and television in general when I received a call around 7:30 p.m. Surprised that it was Keith on the other end he asked if I would like to sneak into a movie and his choice was ‘Studio 54’ but changing the movie that we would watch to “Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” he agreed and came to pick me up.
Inventing A New Word
Still I was working on the meaning for the word ‘Prothane’ and I knew exactly what I meant when I used this word in a sentence but I now just have to make all of you understand the significance of this newly created word. Well, might as well give it a crack in this next paragraph than to wait until the end of this entry…
Prothane, This word has many describing words but some are more significant and potent than other words. The main describing words for ‘Prothane’ are intense, vivid and profound. Words that can also be associated to the word ‘Prothane’ when used in proper tense are artistic, graceful and creative. ‘Prothane’ is an explanation word which has two meanings. The word ‘Vulgar’ is an antithesis of ‘Prothane’ but from discriminating eyes that don’t read between the lines the word ‘Vulgar’ could also be a secondary describing word. Here I shall now place some examples in using ‘Prothane’ within speech…
Blood Seen Differently
To say “Your hand has been severed by a mighty sword but despite such an agonizing wound with which you bleed with vulgarity, the sinister eyes of the enemy see your blood so Prothane.” This now contradicts my statement before about discriminative eyes seeing no vulgarity in the explanation of ‘the blood pouring out so Prothane’. Because they are deluded of such vulgarity by the fact that the warrior has been so caught up in having severed your hand, his delusion permits him to see your hand so Prothane and not with the vulgarity that would sometimes adjoin the word Prothane.
Just imagine your hand torn off just below the elbow. The blood pouring out and the muscles hanging loosely. This would be seen as vulgar by a bystander but to the enemy who was so content in killing and is satisfied with this first blow sees differently. In his deranged vision he sees the intensity of the blood, the profuse bleeding and how vividly this intense blood is gushing out. He also sees the insane artistic side.
To say “You are bleeding so Prothane” would mean “You are bleeding so profound, so vividly, with such intensity yet so gracefully.” Depending on the cause of the bleeding (Let’s say it was just a pin prick) other describing words could be used. For the person that has been pricked there isn’t really much to add neither would there be if a person was watching on except for maybe ‘Vulgar’. To most viewing the bleeding even though it was small the nauseating sight could be seen as vulgar.
As before, if the person was stabbed he would only see the wound in his eyes as being profound, intense, very vivid and maybe vulgar but not artistic, graceful or creative as a more sadistic mind would. The person that would have done the stabbing would indeed see the blood gushing out as profound, intense and vivid. Apart from these main explaining words he would also see the blood as artistic, graceful and creative but in his deranged mind he definitely won’t see it vulgar.
Three Ways To Use It
Prothanity can be used in three main variations depending on who is using the word, what the word is being used for (Inanimate or animate object) and the frame of mind in which it is used. As a rule of thumb, very rarely are the three key words being ‘Profound, intense and vivid’ used in conjunction with both the secondary words and the antonym ‘Vulgar’.
Depending on the person and their frame of mind you can only use it one of the three ways. The three variations of the word ‘Prothane’ are either only with the main key words, with those key words and the secondary explaining words or thirdly with the key words and the opposing extra descriptive word, ‘Vulgar’.
Firstly, ‘Prothane’ can be used with only the main identifying words which are ‘Profound, intense and vivid’ and nothing else. This would be used in a sentence such as “The adrenaline I was feeling parachuting out of the sky was so Prothane.” The secondary words being ‘Artistic, graceful and creative’ would not deserve a mention as the adrenaline would have centered on the main descriptive words.
Vivid for the fact that there was so much to see on the way down, so beautiful. Profound for the fact that you had to take everything in to reap the most reward and intense purely for the fact that the adrenaline was pumping.
Secondly, the main identifying words being ‘Profound, intense and vivid’ can also be used with some or all of the secondary words being ‘artistic, graceful and creative’. The descriptive word ‘Vulgar’ cannot be used in this formula as it would be too contradicting, here’s an example.
From a reviewers mouth that is examining an artists painting he says “Beautiful, this is a masterpiece, a work of art, those lines are so detailed, so defined, so Prothane.” In this term the reviewer is being descriptive and gathering that he is not offended by the painting, he can’t see the painting as being vulgar. Rather, he sees the painting as being all the main words as well as being artistic, graceful and creative.
Thirdly, you can gratify ‘Prothane’ with the word ‘Vulgar’ which has to be used with the three main descriptive words once again being ‘Profound, intense and vivid’. Another example of this are in these words “So ‘Prothane’ lost was I for words upon seeing Manson, my best friend caught up in a burning fire, his cries for help so inflamed, so chilling, so ‘Prothane’ that I become sickened every time I think of his cries.”
The word vivid doesn’t have to do with seeing but vivid can also explain how well the moment can be remembered or how vividly it was heard. As you can see, he was horrified upon remembering these ‘Prothane’ details so obviously he would feel ‘Vulgar’ to recall such a vulgar event.
Closing the Prothane File
There might be some diminutive circumstances where all descriptive words including the main, secondary words and the use of ‘Vulgar’ will all come to the same conclusion which is the word ‘Prothane’. Right now I can’t think of one but the person or event must be pretty deluded and deranged to use such a descriptive formula of words.
