BLAST!!!! why must my normally bad spelling become utterly atrocious as my at first minimal vocabulary becomes astoundingly larger. oh the oddities that writing bestows on ones own habits. perhaps in my efforts to not sound boring i have come to overlook the spelling of my words in order to get them out quicker so as not to bore myself. why that would have an affect on me at all I've no clue. I've always accepted the fact that my spelling is lacking but heaven forbid it to become unbearable to even me. just my luck that the child to be a writer in my family would inherit the spelling gene from my father who's own arrangement of letters leaves something to be desired. God bless spellcheck when i can get it.
GRR and Foil!!

When I did my AP notes last night, I was trying to do it quickly and misspelled so many words. :P But thankfully, spell check was there. :D
Me luv quotes! You need to get used to them for the SAT. Is this like, William Shakespeare season or something? B/c we've been watching a lot of Shakespeare adaptations. Dickens! Only problem is that his writing is too verbose. :? I watched David Copperfield last yr or something...it was pretty good. Have you seen it? Hey, didn't you read Scarlet Letter last yr actually?
yeah we read the scarlet letter and i really liked it. :D
shakespear is perty cool and dickens i had to read great expectations and watch the total corn ball movie. me and my class call it GE (geh) to this day. just to make fun of it.
i personally couldve done without the Dickens but i like shakespear what ive read of him. julius ceasar haha.
