I use ellipses too much when I post.
Oh man. I am the most unrepentant ellipses abuser around. All. Day. Long.
Knowing how wrong it is, I still write like I speak...pauses and all.
eta: I also begin far too many sentences with And.
And, I'll start a statement with "I don't want to be harsh but...no wait, that's not true, I DO want to be harsh because..." No one has ever suggested that is annoying, but I bet it really is.
I use ellipses too much when I post.
ooh, I love the little dots. I use them all the time. I just edit them out before I post/hit send. Maybe I'll lose those wimpy qualifiers and use my darling ellipses without shame...
Oh, I have plenty of others.
So tomorrow is the last night at my pool FOR A WEEK. Expect a week of pissyness as I'll have to drive to one seven miles away. In traffic. During the first week of school. Oy. I may shift MK's shots up to 8 pm.
Zenkitty, I speak back a bit. As calmly as I can (because not being calm makes it escalate). But there's a limit to how much I can tell him he's being unreasonable when I'm living under his roof. Need to figure out a way to get out of here.
Thanks, bonny. :)
I'm annoyed with my own overuse of "awesome" and "epic". Saw them online too much and now they've pushed out the words I would have used before. Pushed them so far I have a hard time remembering what I would have used before.
Most of the verbal phrase peeves upthread don't bug me. One that does is "totes".
Skipping to the end...
Tom Hardy, princess
Tom Hardy, animorph
Tom Hardy, uh, hat model
JUST FOR ME. Fuck the hat, chuck the dog, marry the princess. Also, in the other one, I would F Enver, C Misha, and M Tom. For lo, I am craxy.
My habitual use of ellipses is actually in my OKC profile.
Same for me, smonster! (Re: ellipses...)
Can't I just M Misha and figure we'd manage to fit the other two in somehow?
But there's a limit to how much I can tell him he's being unreasonable
Leaving was certainly my solution, but I didn't start coping well with my father's verbal abuse until I realized he wasn't actually talking to, or about, me. Talking 'at' you isn't about you.
It is a poorly written book, but I have to confess, The Four Agreements (by don miguel ruiz) helped me with this. "Take nothing personally" may seem impossible, but it can be done.
shrift is awesome.
That is all.
I'll check it out. Financial circumstances have forced me back here but I'm trying to regroup and get out of here as soon as I can.
