wastedyears just wrote an entry whereby he (rightfully) bemoaned the retarded misuse of various and sundry words and phrases. Then he requested more from his readers.
Here's my bit.

Some of this will not make sense because it was written for, and references, my LiveJournal. Most of it will not make sense because I don't make sense. I watched Lost in Translation tonight. Now I'm untranslatable.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Cavatica. Cavatica had a car-- a white 2002 Focus ZX5. It was a lovely car-- strong, loyal, experienced. Cavatica and her Focus had gone almost 23,000 miles together. They had been everywhere--the Carolinas, Starbucks, even Canada. They had endured rain, ice, snow, rushhour, Marylanders... they had ferried her friends, gone to work, been through...

Every single news issue relevant to the U.S. political scene invariably just comes down to whether Bush is Satan or God.
You want to play the "Let's see how much we can generalize" game? Okay. I'll play.

(You know, I only go on these poetry sprees because my best friend does. I'm so competitive.)
I don't know why this metaphor lodged itself in my brain, but it did. If only my Grammar/Language and Society professor could see me now.
...he'd probably want to know why I didn't mention anything about cake.

Yeah, it is, thank god.
manchester_black:
Yeah, February is definitely a month that I would abduct in one of those creepy looking vans with the windows blacked out, pummel with phone books and sacks of objects of various hardnesses and then toss it from a moving vehicle into a ditch, leaving it to die all alone and bound with electrical tape.
The photography group assignment of the month is "Freedom."
THIS, I can do.

Camera-twitchy.
Something must be done.
Also: I am delinquent. Not just as pertains to life, which I incontrovertibly--as the kids would say--lose at. <sentencefragment> But also SG. </sentencefragment>

since we are on the "Grammar Schooling" topic.
"I before E except after C" is complete crap and WHY did they ever tell us that? It's totally foreign.
I am still seized by moments of self doubt when I try to spell "protein", and that's just weird. I wanted to have a clear conscience, I thought I would be proficient at spelling by they time I was kicked out into society after highschool.
That rule is the height of stupidity,...
There's 8 examples of exceptions to their rule.
Oh wait. 9 now.
and yeah well you just made me loose my temper
