Today we are beginning with the obligatory picture so that you will maybe read the words that will follow. This is the Dome of the Rock located in Jerusalem, Israel. And in my heart. joke, it would never fit in my heart...no matter how badly I wish it.
Today I had major problems writing.
I dropped a letter about once every four letters and sometimes it would get really bad.
Such as faught for thought. (who am I? tweety bird?)
Or hulder for shoulder.
And maybe subance for substance.
I should probably start writing on paper more. I think I just make mistakes because I think that there will be a spell check or auto correct. But no, there is just me and I have to cross out words all the time. I remember when I was a freshman in college and I began to use only pens. Blue crystal Bic pens in fact. I am 100% picky about my pens and I only use the blue ones. Once I even got a package of them for Christmas in my stocking (I once received toilet cleaning supplies as well...shows you what my parents encourage). So I began to write using pens for the first time in my life. I mean I had used a pen before, but I mainly used pencils all through school as my teachers told me to because they knew that I would make major mistakes-which I did. But when I became a freshman I was on top of the world and I knew that it was that time that approaches in everyones life when they are finally close enough to perfect that they can use pens regularly. Glory glory hallelujah played in my mind as I used one blue Bic pen all freshman year until it ran out of ink. I am willing to bet that hasn't happened to many of you, mainly because as humans we usually lose a pen before it actually runs out of ink. This pen was the bomb.com, I rarely if ever crossed anything out and we just had a beautiful partnership. But the death of this pen was correlated with the death of my writing abilities. (See? Diagram: DEATH OF PENàEND OF WRITING SKILLS) Meaning, the farther I get from the death of my first blue pen the more my ability to include all the letters in a word deteriorates. I'm pretty sure this is not related to an extraneous 3rd factor like getting a computer that I can take notes on but is actually directly related to the death of that one pen (see above diagram).
All this is relevant I promise. What I'm saying is I've regressed. I used to be a pro with a pen, I hardly ever made mistakes and rarely crossed things out. (cross something out? me? never!) I could spell like a pro and almost always made coherent, even at times, wonderful sentences. But now, as a senior psychology student I can run ANOVA on a set of data and attribute things to extraneous 3rd factors but apparently I cannot spell thought correctly. I think I need a button for my blog like that one that says "I read the printed word" but this one will say: "I write on paper" or "I've lost all ability to write traditionally: please help!" or maybe even "I support the creation of a spell check for pen and paper." When I get to be older and more technologically able I will create this button and I will start a revolution. Because obviously the best place to advertise for writing with on paper is on a place where you can only write using a keyboard. So moral of the story: keep writing and stay tuned for you very own button someday in the very far more technologically advanced future!
