The Beginnings of the Winds of Change

[vehona]

So, this is my first journal entry. It’s ironic that I’m writing in an online journal, because I was at one point among the legions of people who were against writing in a journal at all. They all had their excuses, anything from lacking time or patience for writing, to having writers’ blocks or being afraid of expressing themselves. Like me, they

Your first entry

Hi Ella! Welcome to the world of live journal. I knew one day you'd give into our cult! :) Anyways, I liked your first entry. Several things you said made me laugh. Those teacher's quotes are great. I also could really picture the people, places, and moments that you described. You are much better at description than me. Anyways, since I'm an English major and slight perfectionist, I want to point out that you have a stylistic mistake. It is the way you wrote, "I wanted to write a little bit about my recent past, followed by the current present, and end with the recent upcoming future." You have redundancies: the "current present" and "upcoming future." Isn't the present current, and the future upcoming? And instead of "recent upcoming future" I think you meant "near future." I suggest that you re-write that line. Of course, if you don't care that you sound funny, you can leave it as it is. Then I can still laugh at you for it. Lol. Love you, Dolly

Thank you!

Ella! Very nice first entry....on a scale of 1-10, I give you an 11. hehe. My first was pretty long too, but as the days went on, I got lazy lol. I wanted to thank you once again being such a wonderful host while Skyler and I were there. I haven't had so much fun in a long time. We both enjoyed ourselves at Capitola....what a cute little town. Haha, Skyler was so intrigued by the sword and knife shop, and I absolutely loved being on the beach again....I miss my San Diego beaches *tear*. Omigosh, and the candy shop! *mmmm* soooooo good. Now that's my kind of place. Thanks again for letting us stay with you and for showing us around town. Hope to see you sometime soon!
love, *jennie*
