Hmmm

You know, rereading these posts, I realize that I type very differently than I talk. I figured out what it is: when I'm thinking, I diagram my sentences down to the smallest parts, and I love configuring ideas into the weirdest yet still correct phrases. It's geeky, but then again, so am I. Anyway, when I talk, I translate the mess into actual vernacular English. When I type, that filter only halfway works. The result? I sound disjointed. Oh well.

I must admit that on the topic of tone, "Ruminations" comes off as exceptionally dark--an air I really don't want. Fancies, Impressions, Musings (the last being my favorite) all seem better suited for me. Overt Preterition works very well, though. Ask anyone, I draw attention to what I don't say than what actually stumbles across my lips. My face says more than I will and echoes what I'm really thinking... sometimes. There have been misreadings, but I suppose no science is exact. 

Eh, whatever. I try to do so much, and I rather am sad that there's not a running checker overlooking a list of "Things You Do Well" and "Things To Improve." Oh, sure, some of the points are easy, like stop being so sarcastic, but it's not what you know you don't know that will hurt you: it's what you don't know you don't know, if that makes any sense. I know that I don't know the capital of every US state, but there's some helpful fact out there that I don't even know exists, and therefore I don't know that I don't know it.

Last thought: I really love that obvious omission rhymes with overt preterition. Reminds me of crossword puzzles me and my grandpa used to do together. I can see it now:
