emma. seventeen. i don't believe in the concept of normal. i'm currently eating a plum, just in case you wanted to know. i like good grammar. i'm australian, currently living in the US though. i wear jeans, pretty much everyday. i'm obsessed with reading, but i have a tendency to just re-read the same books. up until recently all i read was in the fantasy genre, unless for school. i read paint it black by janet fitch because it's my best friends favourite book, it did alright, though not as good as she believes, not that i would ever tell her that unless i was looking for a slap in the face. her and i found chuck through looking at quotes, see we're slightly obsessed with quotes, i told her to check this guy out as his quote looked pretty incredible. we're now hooked on him, 'love at first quote' in a way (i'm aware that was lame, oh, i haven't mentioned i'm the lamest person you'll ever talk to). basically i've read invisible monsters and i loved it, and i just finished reading choke. i've read part of stranger than fiction as well, and i'm starting rant.

if you haven't noticed already, i'm incredibly random.
and i finished my plum
and if you want to know anything else, that i have the ability to tell you, don't hesitate to ask Smile

oh, and somebody please tell me if you know what my topic quote is from aha

for someone that likes good grammar, there's not a whole lot of capitalization in that post.

hahaha. yes, true. i was going to mention that, then couldn't be bothered. basically i don't mind not having capitalisation in things like this. it makes it seem too essay or school like, and as much as i don't mind essays or school, it's a lot easier to not add all the capitals in with things like this.

i do believe i just said the same thing repeatedly just in different forms there.

i'm being blatantly rude. hello. kentucky is shaped like a drumstick, isn't that ironic? you live in a state that is shaped like a piece of chicken. ha ha.

see, i'm the reason why we can't have nice things.

agustana - haha, why are you presuming i'm socially awkward?

crn11 - yay Smile

Joe Tonigh- haha, i think australian wins with the most horrilbe animals in teh world. come visit australia where we have the worlds most deadly snakes and spiders, where you can't swim in a lot of our beaches due to crocodiles and box jellyfish. nice way to get tourists in lol.

fsdghcamel - blatantly rudes pretty fun really. and i'm sure you're not the sol reason we can't have nice things hah. oh, i do like the iced coffee bit, seeing as i actually am from south australia. i just don't like it, hate anything with coffee. oh and i think the irony is that the state invented KFC and it's shaped like a piece of chicken. not that i've ever noticed that it looks like a piece of chicken.

Hi Emma, Welcome. I googled your quote because it was bugging me, but I didn't post because that seemed like cheating.

Don't mind agastana, she's snide and boring.

Did you quote buddy also join? I saw a new thread that linked to this one.

.

you and i are into fairly the same creature habit of very decent grammar and no caps at all

i'm a writer. (a novice, but still.) and attacking a message board writerly-wise is really just too much for me. i'm still a stickler for very decent grammar. but lessening my efforts with no caps is just the right amount liberating. like peeing in the park at midday. mate.

oddly enough, i write in all caps. always. and i always write longhand my narrative. i read it perfectly, at that. cant imagine the same can be for anyone else reading the same scribbles..

so odd.

anyway, welcome to the cult !
lots of booktalk here, and non booktalk as well.

i do have a question you do possess the capacity to answer:

what do you think of this writer?:

http://chuckpalahniuk.net/features/shorts/suffer-the-fool

he's a cult friend and a member and part time instructor here (he was once, that is..)

take care and see you on the boards

I use to do the no capitalisation thing, but decided some months ago to formalise everything. The shift key can be hard to reach, but it makes things look nice sometimes. I've been pretty good at keeping with it, too.

clearly.

seriously, though.. i had a huge issue reading my writing later on. months down the road, i couldnt read what id written. so i contrived of a sort of rosetta stone that was all caps. so that i would know each and every letter in each and every place. it consisted of a to z and zero to nine. (i have mild dyslexia afterall, and a very short attention span.) and it's worked out for me thus far, as important as i am or not at all Smile Big

thanks. why yes that is some messy scribbling there. would take an awful amount of effort to read that through properly. and i'll tell you what i think of him, once i'm awake enough to pay attention to it properly. tired today. something to do with it being two in the morning perhaps

yeah, see, i'm just too lazy to hit shift all the time.

i don't believe there is a scrap of evidence pointing to the face that writing in caps means you're self important.
