Blog #1. :)

I'm sure that everyone has some kind of experience with writing online. I have had a Xanga account since I was twelve. Sometimes I post something, sometimes I don't. Mostly I just write about whatever my current annoyance is. Whether it is my family, school, myself, or the blanket that isn't keeping my feet warm, you can probably find something about it on my blog.
I confess, I also have a Twitter account. Honestly I think tweeting is boring, pointless, and just another way that everyone doesn't check up on me, so I don't use it much. I couldn't care less about what my friends, let alone celebrities, are doing every second of the day. "Gracie is hungry and wants a pizza." That's cool, but I don't really care. :P
My writing is the same everywhere, pretty much. My vocabulary, punctuation and capitalization are the same whether I'm typing a ten page essay or a fifty word blog. It's the same even when I'm writing my World Geography notes with a pencil and paper. The only difference I find is that my writing is a whole lot neater on the computer than it is on paper, of course. When I write on paper my thoughts are a print/cursive mess, and when I'm typing they, well, they look like this.
Being that my writing is the same no matter what medium I am using, I think that it shows that I write how I would talk and I talk how I write. This is obviously not the case of other people, but it's how I do things.
Language is too important to butcher, so I try my best to keep it consistent.

  1. Interesting post, Pearl - you really seem to strive for consistency across different media.

    As someone with atrocious handwriting, this is one of the primary appeals of electronic writing for me : )
