reenkaOkay, so is there really a way to say something strongly without sounding like a jackass? Heh. Probably depends on whether the person reading agrees with you or not, doesn't it. I mean, it could easily be a meeting of jackass minds. Fools call each other geniuses quite often. Makes one wonder if there -is- such a thing as true genius, 'cause well, everyone's a fool in some way. (That most definitely includes me, in case that isn't clear). I suppose similarly, is there a way to talk about stories and theoretical things without sounding like a pompous jackass? Is humor the key? I think that could be called "The Art of Saying Things You Shouldn't Be Able To Get Away With". I think I became funnier with age, 'cause around age 6 or 9 or something, I realized otherwise my mind was a bit hard to swallow for me, like a lot of bread with no cheese or beverage. Yes, I used to be deeply, deeply unfunny. Unlike now, when I am "funny". If I confuse you, it is only because I confuse myself much, much more.
On the other hand, there's always going to be someone who thinks you're a jackass, even if you're very "normal". Some people will say you sound like you're an immature jackass, then. Unless you're funny, in which case you're pretending to be an immature jackass, so it's okay. Personally, I'm pretending I'm actually coherent, but not very well.
I think I obsess over these things too much. Like... the way some people write really annoys me (and it could be either 'cause they sound like they're a teenie or because they sound like they ate the thesaurus for breakfast-- and then spit it out on my lap). Sometimes, when I'm feeling mellow, I think that I shouldn't hold it against anyone if they can't write. And then I remember that people hold it against me if I don't shave, so all's fair. And I want to lash out, but on the other hand, I don't want to offend anyone else. Also, some teenies are cute (or actually, kewt), and some aren't. There's an art to these things. Yes, being cute is a lot like operating heavy machinery. If you're not careful, you'll slice something off and turn into an anime character. Which may not be that bad, especially if you get cool hair. (That actually made sense in my head, btw. Ph34r M3.)
Am I sounding like a jackass right now? Yes, I'm overusing that word, but it amuses me. Anything with the word "ass" in it amuses me, because I am secretly 12. Or not-so-secretly. I'm not really secretly anything, which is why I say it a lot. I have a lot of hidden sides I don't keep hidden-- at least not when I'm coasting on sugar.
I was reading some teenie otakus' "reviews" of Naruto. It is a painful, painful thing. And yet, if they were to read -me-, they'd make fun of me & my grammar-usage just as easily. I spelled all right when I was 11, by the way. I was always an uptight wanker, I guess. However, it -was- helpful by process of elimination, especially after I'd cracked the teenie code to unearth the sekrit deeper meanings of it all. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I'm just that cool. I'm like the 1337 H4x0r of netspeak teenie linguistics. Or something. I feel special.
Yes, I am under the delusion that all of this was vaguely amusing, sadly.
