MY LITTLE BLOGGIE
11/15/2004
I'va been workin' on the newspaper.
Mood:  caffeinated
I woke up this morning, and I was so warm. I didn't want to get out of med, but my door was open and cold air was coming in to my stuffy little room. So, I got up and got dressed to the sound of Elspee's African music from her room.
When I went upstairs, I watched Hugh Grant get interviewed about a movie That I really don't want to see.
After That, I listened to mom read out loud a passage from a book by Dean Martin about sledge hammer awareness. I am all the more aware for for it. Never again will I wonder why the sledge hammer comes with a powderpuff.
So, It's Monday. That means That after Allison finished proofing her stuff, I'll have to finish the paper and put it in the mail... Meaning That I should get a move-on on the envelopes.... So, yeah...-k

THINGS THAT CHEESE ME OFF
Mood:  irritated
I hate it when people do certain things; they just make me cringe. An example is thus: ending your sentences with prepositions. It is just wrong, grammatically speaking, and most times it can be prevented.
Here are some tips that could help you in this struggle. Tip one, "Know your foe," If you memorize all the prepositions then you will know which words not to use. Also you can recite them at parties and impress your friends, and then hand out buttons that say "Where are you Vs. Where are you at. The deathmatch of the century," or something like that.
You might be wondering why it is so bad to end your sentences with prepositions, well, it all started in the year 1481 when a great but unknown philosopher said while he was addressing a crowd in Aachtenville, Germany, and I quote. "I philosophize that nobody should end their sentences with prepositions." Then he proceeded to throw his books 'Philosophy and grammar, by Heints Wolksvagon,' into the crowd. I'm not making it up, I swear.
Really, if you think about it, ending your sentences with prepositions can be avoided fairly easily. If you don't have the time to memorize all the prepositions, then think of it this way, if you can do it to a house, then it is a preposition. E.g. you can go IN a house, you can also get UNDER a house if you try hard enough, and you can definitely be AT a house. So you don't have to say `where are you at,' or `how long were you under.' You can speck correctly, and know that you are making the world more grammatically correct for your posterity!
