it's amazing that I haven't commented on this one yet . . .

thatdarngirl Aug 21, 2003

Why is that amazing?

walkngplaygrnd Aug 21, 2003

I just LOVE talking about white people . . . except there aren't any . . . so I guess I'm either talking about nothing usually, or to myself . . . and now I'm confused . . .

thatdarngirl Aug 21, 2003

Why do you just LOVe talking about white people..and why can I tell you're being sarcastic?

walkngplaygrnd Aug 21, 2003

actually, they're my favorite people . . . you see, all growing up, I was "accused" of being white, so I figured, I may as well find out what these people are about since I'm evidently one anyway ....

thatdarngirl Aug 21, 2003

Accused is in quotes, who are you quoting?

walkngplaygrnd Aug 21, 2003

myself, evidently . . . I think that's how I've always explained it to people . . . ever heard of an OREO? (and I'm not talking about the cookie - well, kind of, actually)

you mean black on the outside white on the inside right? i never understood it when people say this. you are who you are. there's no difference as to what you look like because you're not trying...

walkngplaygrnd Aug 21, 2003

yes, that is correct - and my defense was always exactly what you said . . . but alas, children can be so cruel . . . all the little urban children were just hateful 'cause I was smarter than all o...

Oh is that why? Maybe they just didn't like you.

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003

but i'm just so darn lovable that I KNOW that wasn't it . . . but I sure didn't like them too much . . . they all wanted to BE me, and they knew it . . . jealousy is NOT a pretty thing . . .

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Yeah, as the most perfect girl in the world I understand that completely. Maybe they didn't like your abuse of the "..."

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003

I believe that "..." (though I generally space mine) is called an ellipsis, and since I can't use it in normal writing, I tend to abuse it in my non-essential writing activities, such as email, IM, and now, of course, eZabel . . . it most accurately represents my process of incomplete thinking, being as though I have the attention span of a GNAT. Are you really that perfect? I'm intrigued . . . because, again, I thought I was the only perfect person in the world . . .

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I used to abuse what you call the "ellipsis" as well and it takes a lot of restraint for me not to use it when writing for school. I think it is totally better then a comma and can bridge two sentence fragments together quite nicely. Yes, I am perfect.

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003

I agree with you on the uses of the ellipsis - it is definitely more versatile than the comma. As far as the perfection goes, I'll have to be the judge of that myself, because there are not many who are able to achieve or trascend my level of perfectivity. (and YES I made that word up)

malibu malibuOG 2001

i always over-use the exclamation point. then i had to limit myself to one a paragraph. just too exciting.
