spelling mistakes aplenty.

    i wonder if you can be good at something and ever really lose it. like, can you forget what it means to sit down and arrange words on paper and have them mean something beyond any syllable you could ever part your lips to speak - and have everything after that brief, fleeting period of furious genius be mediocre? that's a scary word. mediocrity

ew . . . not to sound all bratty (but i do anyway, so forgive me), i really must say that i despise the phrase "i wish you well", regardless of the numerous times i've made use of it over the years. it sounds like you're saluting the dead. burying me off this soon, eh, antonia? it just sounds like i'm going somewhere (which i'm not, bar university next year, which shan't interfere with my livejournal addiction) or you're trying to get rid of me (hopefully no), but i'm quite certain you don't view the saying in the same context i do, so i suppose that's one non-issue resolved.
also, i think honesty is one of the most admirable traits any human can ever possess - it requires incredible strength and sense of self, not to mention humility. i'm in love with my english teacher, because beside the fact that she is completely brilliant and shares an appreciation for the exact same literary icons that i do, she is honest in a way that is always caring and straightforward, yet never brutal. it's a delicate balance.
and if you're wondering, none of the "mediocre" imagery in the first paragraph applied to me*, so that wasn't honesty. it was simply the rambling that should have a point, but doesn't, that i often find accompanying these lengthy treatises that i like to call little slices of the human soul**.
*unless you consider the word "mediocre" to be a fitting adjective pour moi, in which case i couldn't possibly try to guess why you continue to read this journal, but hey, whatever. to each her own, right?
**yeah, this is too sappy, even for me. i'm merely jesting - i call them "entries" like a normal person.
