Oi vey.

I'm not sure if I spelled that right, but that's how I always spell it. So I don't really plan on changing it too much, unless 2000 people tell me I'm spelling it wrong. Then I'll consider it. Until I get 2000 comments on this post saying that I spelled the title wrong, tough. You can deal.

I'm sorry, I dunno what my deal is today. I feel pissy and aggressive, and I don't know why. And I hate it. I want to just curl up someplace with a nice breeze and constant 72-74 degree temperatures and be there for a week. Maybe I'd write, maybe I'd sleep, but regardless, I'd be alone. Maybe a small island in the middle of the ocean. But the pretty ocean, like the Caribbean. Not nasty cold ocean or anything. There are places where people have built little houses out on their own tiny islands and they rent them out by the day. I think they're actually fairly reasonably priced, too. That'd be fun. I'd invite you to come with me, but that would defeat the purpose of me being alone, so you can't come. Sorry.

So I stumbled on a list of reasons why you should date a writer, then commentary on each reason as to why it's total crap. I don't want to post the full list here because I'm afraid of legal action being taken against me, seeing as it's not mine (see that? That's a disclaimer, and it's very important in noting that this list is nothing I made up), but I can post the link to where I found it. Here you go: http://www.rebeccarosenblum.com/2010/10/07/why-date-a-writer/

I do, however, have a bit of original commentary I'd like to add. For example, number 2? Totally true. I base characters on my friends all the time. but I don't tell them that, except that I just did. Basing characters on your friends can be tricky, seeing as how if you perceive some flaw in them that they themselves don't perceive, you can find yourself in deep shit. Quick. I don't know this from experience, but I can kinda imagine.

Number 10? Totally what I was just talking about. I love my friends and being around them, but sometimes I just need to be alone.

Number 14, yes. I like correcting common grammar mistakes. Maybe it makes me appear to be an obnoxious "English person," but oh well. Grammar is your friend, don't abuse it.

Number 16: yes. Writing=good. Speaking=bad. I hate speaking off the cuff. I can communicate so much better in writing (I think), it's not even funny. I prefer texting to calling, writing notes to a face to face conversation, etc.

So there's my thoughts on some of those list entries. It's a good list though, it made me smile.

I don't wanna be productive...
