Huzzah! Off for fun & frolics in Hillville! (Seriously, ever been to Edinburgh? The whole place is uphill. It’s ridiculous.)
Anyway, You’ll have to do without my tumbling for much of the weekend. Feel free to leave things in my ask box, you know, if you want.
I’M SO FRAKING SUPER EXCITED!
- Always avoid alliteration.
- Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
- Avoid cliches like the plague. (They’re old hat.)
- Employ the vernacular.
- Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
- Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
- It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
- Contractions aren’t necessary.
- Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
- One should never generalize.
- Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.”
- Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
- Don’t be redundant; don’t use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous.
- Profanity sucks.
- Be more or less specific.
- Understatement is always best.
- Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
- One-word sentences? Eliminate.
- Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
- The passive voice is to be avoided.
- Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
- Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
- Who needs rhetorical questions?
And that I’M SUPER FUCKING EXCITED ABOUT IT FOR SO MANY GODDAMN REASONS?
…
‘Cause I am. On both counts. I won’t be on tumblr ‘till sometime Sunday. Maybe a little tomorrow before I go through to the city of hills.
It’s fraking excellent.
And “A Whole New World” just reminds me of that day singing it with her and junk. Which I do believe I’ve mentioned. Granted, there are a whole bunch of other things it also reminds me of, tbh.
Oh, childhood, how I love thee…
I adore this film so…
When you remember there are over 90,000 people on Tumblr young too drive
Verbally and mentally fluid, you are refreshing and illuminating to those around you. This is occasionally somewhat discounted by the obvious pleasure that you take in exercising your mental acuity. Although generally…
This test made my head hurt… (Okay, I’m being more metaphorical than literal, but shush.)
Your Diagnosis:
Thoughtful to the extreme, you are often obsessed with perfection and the rules governing your own personal interests. Your world is black and white. You love to work within a logical system, such as language, computer programming, or mathematics. Manipulating a system that can be completely understood is a distinct pleasure to you, because of your confidence in the underlying veracity of your belief system. Because of your appreciation for logic and order, those who speak or think in a sloppy manner are apt to generate more than their share of wrath. Although very amiable, you are not drawn to friendships out of a sense of personal need. You are just as happy by yourself with a good book or puzzle. Because you are so involved with thought, you will on occasion have difficulty dealing with the day-to-day problems of a normal life. Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, these are often left until the last possible moment, if at all.
