it feels like i've had a pretty fluent grasp on the language/writing since... age 12/13, maybe? allowing some precociously 'flowery' vocabularly, of course, in the typical style of a young eager wordsmith... much more relaxed on that front now in my essay writing.
No, not angry, like I was making fun of him to the point that he had to walk out of the house or cry.Hurricane2k9 wrote:

Yes Gooners you have, in fact when I think of Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire, I think of your testicles instead of chestnuts.Gooners wrote:

i can look back on my old writings and find them a bit shameful... but mainly for reasons of sensibility, opinion; literary style. my actual writing and grammar is pretty much spot-on. i went through a very precocious phase in school around age 13-14 where i would write with such a professorial authority that even my (high-school level) teachers would complain; my science teacher would send my lab-reports to the english department to have the prose-elements marked (i.e. the non figures/scientific methods part). of course at the time i thought it was just innocent eagerness to write well... but now i recognise it was probably more a case of teenage arrogance wanting to do something with as much flair as possible. nowadays i write in quite a recondite and terse style... probably have been influenced by a lot of postmodern writing, fictionally, as well as a lot of short-stories-- especially the schools of literary minimalism. i find infinitely more beauty thesedays in a raymond carver than an alfred de musset (who, incidentally, shares my bday... what an awesome man).

yeah, you self-fancy that you can do it. you pretend to be all misanthropist and socially anomic and yada yada but it's such a tired 'high-school reject' routine. it just kinda comes around full circle to you being an absolute self-engrossed narcissist, relating everything to and then repudiating everything from your treasured little self.Macbeth wrote:

uh yea, because the banks themselves break for the holiday. Not because they are overwhelmed with Christmas spirit.Macbeth wrote:

I sometimes feel like that's the phase I'm going through right now (the whole eagerness to write well thing). In high school I always felt like I had to follow a very strict formula for writing, with no real room for my own expression. It was basically "state this, state that, prove it." The papers I wrote in high school would have probably bored anyone to death, and it didn't help that most of the time I really didn't want to write those papers.
Whereas now for instance, I wrote a paper for my moral issues class talking about the war on drugs, and while I don't think it's anything special I did get an A on it. I wrote it in a much more casual-yet-assertive voice than I would have written my high school papers in. Improving my writing is something I definitely want to do though... I should take some courses on it tbh.

I remembered it from an article I read from MSNBC awhile ago. They could have left out that little bit of info to make it seem like something else. It wouldn't surprise me.Kmar wrote:
