I owe it to my medical terminology classes for helping me to not misspell words like ‘diarrhea’ ever again. Granted I should have had these kinds of learnin’s down, solid, since middle school but I was too busy doodling, and by 8th grade my brains stopped developing in that department to make room for perspective and color theory. Now, on the cusp of my impending 30’s, and having spent over 5 years without using a single one of my natural artistic talents, I’m catching up on things like spelling. Grammar has yet to call attention to itself and has been, regrettably, lost in the quagmire of useless trivia that makes up about 90% of my grey matter.
I didn’t start this post to tell you about how cruddy I am at writing. Or even how ironic it is that I have a blog when I a) can’t write and b) don’t even like writing — although that doesn’t seem to stop most bloggers from plugging away year after year. Actually, I didn’t start this post to tell you anything in particular. I just realized that I haven’t made one of those Random-Uninteresting-Shit-I’ve-Been-Up-To-Lately entries in a long long time.
And I’m not going to do it now.
But I’m considering it.
Did I also mention that I’m the The Queen of Procrasti Nation? Several times? Good to know I’m being clear.

I’ll give you one of my sister’s messages..
Keep blogging! She says. She hasn’t blogged since 6-25 and tells me to keep blogging…yeah, right.

I think the internet’s helped my writing somewhat. But then, sometimes, I got back and read some of the old entries and think, “Wow, I suck!” *L*

i’ve given up on capital letters almost entirely, but my spelling and grammar are corrected if i notice errors. i can’t stand that “text chat” kind of writing kids do now. i think the english language is going to be screwed in about 15 years.

I’m no writer, by any stretch. The funny thing is, when I look back at some of the earlier scribblings, some of that stuff is pretty decent. Of course, those were the times I was drinking quite a bit.
Damn this responsible drinking stuff…

I seem to be correcting my grammar and spelling more often then you seem too! Check this out for "Procrastination"
. I’ve done others if you’re interested…

I need that as a bumper sticker.
I also deleted a whole comma just now. It was hanging out in a place it didn’t need to be; most likely because I was thinking of typing something else beforehand and completely forgot to backspace it.

I will add a bumper sticker today…enjoy…
