""Hiiyy! I just wanted to feel cool and post one from my iPhone... Lol. I just got my new cover and screen protector in the mail. Its very personalized now. (:
No, actually, it looks a little public school trashy. But that's OK! I like being a little grungy here and there. Gives it a little edge. Even Mrs. Princess has to take off the heels every now and then.""
That was what I did on my phone (obviously) yesterday. I didn't actually have the time to get a whole story posted. And that's OK. I hope you aren't expecting to here from me precisely EVERYDAY. That's not gonna happen. Who has the time for that?
Posting from my phone really wasn't that cool either. I couldn't change the font size, style, OR color. What a crime! D:
Hmmm, so much to talk about. I was riding the bus after school today, like usual, and I found myself having a little conversation in mah head. To myself, of course.
I was analyzing....
words.
Either I have too much time on my hands (not possible), I'm strange (very possible and somewhat correct), or I'm just intuitive. I'm gonna go with that last one if y'all don't mind.
Words. Well, they're pretty important.
Words have so much meaning to them. Even the tone of your voice can totally change the meaning of something.
I have had my fair share of miscommunications.
A big word, I think, for a reason. They cause alot of trouble!
A huge producer of those troublesome occurrences is t3xt1ng!
Do not get me wrong.
I am a huge supporter of the thing. I use it aaaalllll the time.
but... but... but.........
It causes many more problems than JUST miscommunication. Among that, there's a lack of common spelling knowledge, huuugee grammar issues, and impersonal relationships. I mean, there's a huge vote on the dislike of the text, "k". Ask anyone.
Really? How personal does that sound? Now, I myself use that phrase sometimes because I only have a second or 2 to reply, but people use that all the time without a real reason.
When kids text, they use short terms such as "u", "b", "ttyl", "lol", "ily", and "brb". Again, nothing necessarily wrong with that, but it travels from just texting to school, work, and real conversations. I don't know about you, but that just sounds like an uneducated, ignorant person to me. Also, I'm finding that it's more and more common to leave out all punctuation. First, um.... why? It drives me insane. Sometimes, I don't even know what they're trying to say! No. When I type, text, and speak, I use correct punctuation, correct grammar, the whole meal deal.
Why not expect more from yourself, or others?
Lastly, which I think may be the most important, impersonality. It annoys me THE most when someone texts me all the time, but has never once had a conversation with me face to face. Am I really that ugly? I know it's not cause I'm intimidating. I'm definitely not the tallest person you know. What's so bad about talking to people in person? They're just a person. Just like you.
You lose the emotion, the facial expressions, the PERSON in texting.
If I write a book, which I plan on writing several in my lifetime, I will have so much reason for using a certain word or punctuation. Know that, and you will grasp the full meaning of my book. (:
Off that topic, there's more to my day.
From the place where my bus drops me off to my house, there's about a two block walk. And in this time, I contemplate my life. Quick, yes, but if it doesn't come to your mind immediately, it must not be that big 'o deal.
So I put in my earphones, turned up the music, and closed my eyes. A funny thing about closing your eyes and walking at the same time. You're not going near as fast as you think you are. I feel like I'm just galloping down the street, but when I open my eyes, I haven't even made it to the mailbox!
Of course, being the intuitive person I am, I have some deep thoughts about that.
I think that the bigger your steps feel like, the more you think of yourself. I'm pretty confident, so I feel like I can walk super far when I've really just walked a few feet. Now, this is just a theory, but it's interesting right? I think it'd be really cool if you went and tested it then told me if your results were the same as mine. Lemme know what you get! (:
In the usual day, my mind has millions of thoughts just like these. People need to open their mind, think deeply about things, listen to what you're mind's saying to you. I bet you'll find that you have a lot of interesting, creative thoughts too.
Think about it. (;
