I have made it before the midnight deadline again~
Oh, how the words flow from my fingers.
Today I am not going to attempt to discuss any serious issue. There are 16 more days of april to do this, and we are *almost* halfway through BEDA :D Go friends!
I think that blogging every day is some form of payment for getting to read everyone's awesome entries, and for getting to read john green and maureen johnson's daily blogs. I caught up with a friend today, and he writes blogs that are 10 000 words long at least o_o But he talks about things that happened and analyses things. Like our elections for student council, and um current issues.
Darn I should write longer sentences. There's this addiction to short-sentences-are-dramatic thing, and I can't stop it! *grumbles* Do you tend to copy another blogger in your entries? Because when I started doing serious blogs, I followed a style of a classmate, and Neil Gaiman's and Orson Scott Card's style, because it was mostly who I was reading at that time. Now I tend to mimic maureen johnson and maya (http://sarahtales.livejournal.com/). [In my head, she will forever remain as maya, since geeru recommended me her fanfiction and her screen name was maya. She's really Sarah Rees Brennan, author of The Demon's Lexicon.]
This "copying" thing usually happens subconsciously, and I can't really stop being influenced, because it just comes. And then I try to be funny/ witty too, but it usually fails, and I am the only one being entertained. I used a lot of parentheses the other day-- the one about tv and the media, and when I was rereading the post, I found them to be really distracting. Thing is, I use parentheses when what I want to say doesn't really relate to what I was saying, and I have to use them because I'm just stupidly writing down whatever is in my head at the current moment. So of course this shows that I'm easily distracted.
Do any of you get annoyed when you type too slowly for your thoughts to come out? Sometimes I am positively bursting with things to say, but my typing speed slows me down and it is so irritating because then I miss things, and it takes so long for my thoughts to be properly expressed. Note the impatience. Although I think typing/ writing slowly allows one to think about what one is saying, and allows one to at least attempt to structure one's thoughts first before putting them down. Otherwise it would just read as this Stream of Consciousness's thing.
Speaking of Stream of Consciousness, the first time I read a passage of that genre, I remember thinking that it read awfully like a blogpost that I would have written out, had all the things in my head been fully documented.
