I occasionally think that I write like a boring snob so I try not too, but really, this is how I am. (<.<) It would make a lot more sense if you see me in person and listen to the way I rant/converse. My random up-down voice that begins or ends with a gravelly undertone (so a friend said) to an annoying high-pitched screech (I know). The reason I think I write like a wannabe intellectual is because of the blogs that I have read, and their intentional tone/wording that makes it hard to ignore their wish to sound/look SMART. It's even more unbearable when they use the wrong vocabulary or they use a impressive word in a sentence that talks about their dog! "Fluffy was like, SO avaricious when it came to sharing food with Lucky". I HATE THAT. IHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATE!!
*breathes loudly through nostrils*
It's not like I'm a English-Nazi and I think I'm perfect. I'M VERY IMPERFECT AND I'M TERRIBLE AT GRAMMAR AND I MIX UP MY WORDS A LOT. My mouth moves a lot faster than my brain. Instead of saying "Put the pot on the stove", I would say "Put the stove on the pot". That happens to me very often. It's not unusual that my friends would not bother correcting me. Well, maybe like two of them would because they're the perfect English-Nazis and what-not. And I drifted towards something meaningless. Ah! Get back on track. OH YEAH. I want to let the crickets know that I think I write dishonestly of my nature if because the pretenders make me think very self-consciously of my own writing "style" and this leads into more forceful "natural" composition. Bah. As if I actually go look for smarter, bigger words for "hungry". I just happen to know avaricious because I like looking up words I don't know when I read. And like I would use avaricious normally in conversations.
"Damn, I'm avaricious, shall we appease our need?." WHEN REALLY! "Damn, I need food. When are we going to eat?"
