a guessing game.
scartact:
two things before:
i was afraid
and i didn’t think i had anything worth saying.
two things after:
i am an active voice
and a developing leader.
i wrote this at the end of my first year, based off a game i made up for pasoc thru the years.
now, 2011 is coming to a close and i still find this to be the most relevant post about myself from this year. thank you, berkeley.

toby keith is kind of a small-minded asshat. LOLOLOL some of the arguments he makes up in defense of whatever it is he defends are so rhetorically unsound, i don’t understand how a grown man of his age can come up with them.
but yeah, whatevz. randomz.

memories.
remember when all three of us has schwinn bikes? and in eighth grade, almost every weekend we would bike around our area.
we used to get up early in the morning to ride a few miles down the riverbed and back.
you made us pancakes that one time, and even though you used the same amount of batter for each one, mine came out bigger than his.

wells fargo
i just got charged a monthly service fee of $8 from wells fargo. da fuq? that’s never happened before and i can’t seem to find any information on why i was charged that particular amount. i usually don’t get charged as long as i can deposit $25 into my savings account, and that happens automatically every first of the month. :S
you never have any money because you don’t have a job -______- get off your ass.

my name
whenever i introduce myself to someone new, or order food, or call customer service to, for example, troubleshoot my phone, it always gets messed up.
when they take down my name, it gets mistaken for “mary” or “maria.” or some weird variant, like “merrie” or “merry” or, my favorite, “merie.” lawl. idk.
maybe i don’t say it clearly...

ellomaria replied to your post: k
Same thing with “there,” “their” and “they’re.”
well, that is another famous example, probably right after “you’re” and “your.” i’m just tired of people thinking that grammar is solely the confusion of homophones. it isn’t.
i don’t claim to know any more grammar than the average person, which is sort of a shame....
k
grammar is more complex than bitching about people not being able to distinguish homophones.
i mean, people can complain for the millionth time that “your” was used improperly in a sentence, but some still don’t realize “[Random Name] and I” is not always the correct form.
cough. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-you-and-me.aspx

Las Ruinas del Corazon | Eric Gamalinda
fuckyeahtudorqueeny:
Juana the Mad married the handsomest man in Spain and that was the end of it, because when you marry a man more beautiful than you, they said you pretty much lost control of the situation. Did she ever listen? No. When he was away annexing more kingdoms, she had horrible dreams of him being cut and blown apart, or spread on the rack, or sleeping with exotic women. She prayed...
