Hey guys! How are you doing? Before we begin, I should preface this entry with a challenge, as well as a warning. This entire entry will be done without the use of correctional buttons like backspace, delete, the insert override function, the arrow keys, a mouse, or any cut and copy type business. I challenge you to write like this too. Maybe you’ll find that you correct yourself far too often, of or that you don’t form your sentences in your mind completely before you write them. Im’ not saying throw caution to the wind. Write carefully, if you must (but of course, I’d prefer if you could write as natrually as possible.
Try to avoid making too many corrections by wre-rwriting words, unless of course the misktake you made was so heinous as to make the sentence lose its meaning entirely. Then you may rewrite the word .Myabe, you’ll notice that you make quite a few Fruedian (oops, yes, that’s how I spelt it.) slips, create a few interesting words , and of course, write absolutely shocking paragraphs. Try it! Maybe just a few paragraphs. And for those of you, little cheaters, who write no more than three to five sentences in a post. … Well, you should try it anyway, and like I said, just try to relax when you’re writing, let the words flow out. Maybe, and this is a hopeful notion… maybe It will ignite a love for writing. I know that my stream of consciousness writings are usually the most interesting ones, and my Chiming
Also, happy birthday to Triple J! Juditch Lucy ws on TrplJ , making jokes about how she was a milf, except not a mum, so a “wilf” . Then someone suggested, if they made a t-shirt, it should say “wylf”, which is woman you’d like to.. fornicate with. So, now they have tshirts on the wbsite which say “hungry like a wilf”, etc. I love triplj, I’be been wondering about the girl who does the morning new though. I forgot her name, and I was curious about what she looks like . Yes, because she sounds pretty. Think it’s a requirement to work in Radio?
Hm. If I had sto sfind something interesting about my day today, it would probably be in relation to the Steven Pinker entry about neo-Whorfian linguistic determinism. But I’ll save that for another day. Right now, I’ll chat about Calvin and Hobbes. That amazing comic strip that I used to look forward to ereading in the paper everyday. When my dad bought me the first of ym Calvin and Hobbes collections, I was beaming from ear to ear. You know, that feeling you get when you’re so happy you can’t stop yourself from smiling? It’s UNIVERSAL, apparently. What a feeling.
Calivin and aHobbes is a comic stirip that, I recently discovered, isn’t that funny to younger children. It’s aparticularly interesting to the more precocious, and of course, to mid-to late adults. I love the idea of Calvin and his vidivid imagination. I always imagined myself to have a duplicator as a kid, and when Calvin made one, oh boy, I was excitied. It was a more relateable comic than garfield, dilbert (at the time anyway.) , Brenda Starr (that ridiculous thing was in the newspaper too). I enjoyed a barbarian comic , whose name slips my mind… something the Ugly, I believe it was. But it was usually more juvenile than Calvin and Hobbes. Somehow, the themes of Calvin and Hobbes just made sense to me. Character development, appreciatio nof nature, youthful mischief. Ah.
Well, goodbye for now! May your smiles we swide, and may your writings make more sense than mine! :]
