Myself

I got this folder from my parents, that has all of my school records since first grade. I just want to let the world in on a little secret. I am a horrible speller. I don't know why, but I am. Henceforth, looking back on these records has shown me that I have always been so. All of my report cards say, "She needs to work on spelling." "The report was full of valid and interesting information, but it was full of spelling mistakes." It is truly a struggle my ego has with the world. At all my jobs they find out sooner or latter. I am very careful, and use the dictionary all the time. I will even fill out paper work using the computer as a spell checker. It is really strange being in this position. Some people even look down on you for not being able to spell; like anyone who can't spell is inferior, or subhuman. I can read fine. I read more than most Americans do. I am really good with words, and I always look something up if I do not now the meaning. Educate they self. I love doing research on subjects. I just do not have full awareness when I am writing. I do know many of the rules, but it's as if my mind goes faster than my hand. Something interesting that I read in " The Unknown God'" that Crowley said, is that people with spelling problems write in print rather than in cursive. This is true, I hate writing in cursive. I remember going to remedial writing classes in 3rd grade, just so I could do it. Well Fuck Crowley in his thoughts about people who can't spell. I am very good at art. I do think that people have multiple intelligences, because we are all individuals,and we have strengths and weaknesses in different areas. I am so tired of pompous people who look down on others for weakness. Why not find what strengths they have.
For goodness sakes, I just spent seven minutes correcting my spelling in this. I had a lover once, who I felt, looked down on me for my abilities. Fuck him too. Ha I did.
My he be dammed for a dog.
There, I let out my dirty little secret.

So mote it be.
