I learned from a professional writing guide that in brackets and quotation marks to put the punctuation inside, and the heading of that section was, word for word:

Don't Leave the Croissant Out in the Cold!

I swear... I can't find it but I swear that was it...

list of writing pet peeves that will likely keep me from reading something entirely off the top of my head:

excessive use of italics to denote intensity

repetitive sentence structure pattern e.g. "sighing, she dropped the book. standing, she lamented over yet another literary disappointment."

it's instead of its

misuse of dialogue tags e.g. "yes, I'm smiling out this sentence," they smiled. "don't worry about it."

no commas in vocative cases e.g. "gege I'm bald," he murmured.

misplaced punctuation wrt dialogue. "this hurts my eyes", it moaned. "make it stop".

My Annoying, Homophobic & Misogynistic Classmate (i hope this doesn't become a series)

So, there's this guy in my science class who sits next to me. My science teacher changes our spots every month so I'm gonna be stuck with this guy for the rest of the month.

But, how is he annoying, homophobic & misogynistic, you ask? Well, today in class we were learning about the pros & cons of asexual and sexual reproduction, when someone in my class asked about surrogates.

My science teacher explained very well, talking about in vitro fertilization, and explaining how else it worked, how the egg is fertilized in a lab and whatever. Then, the Annoying Classmate asks why people actually use surrogation. My science teacher then explains that the most common reason is if the mother isn't able to carry the child, or give birth, or is sterile. And would you guess what the Annoying Classmate said to me?

He said, word for word: "If I was a girl and that happened to me I would just give up."

Like, okay??? Did I ask you?? Did you have to tell me???

Also, during the lesson, he turned around to some guy behind him, stuck out his hand, and said:

"Give me a handshake if you're homophobic."

I wasn't able to see what happened, because I was trying to take notes, but then after a few seconds, Annoying Classmate says:

"Glad we have something in common."

I can't believe I have to sit next to him for the entire month.

Hope this doesn't become a series, but I'll update you if he does anything else annoying or controversial, if ya'll wish.

I mean yeah I've been doing it by device cuz mine is a microphone thing, but i also have double cords cuz of the nature of earbuds. I guess i forgot that headphones only have 1 cord lol.

only learned today that I have been wearing my headphones the wrong way for years. Won't change it, was just surprised because DOESN'T THE CORD GET IN THE WAY?

what you mean how you been wearing them?

I wear my earbuds where the cord with the volume or mic thing is on the left side, so i can use my right hand to change the volume/mic thing.

I LOVE THIS IM ACTUALLY CRYING LAUGHING

me, absolutely not an artist, desperately trying to articulate how much i like adore people's fanart: ouughgh the colors. there are so MANY of them!!!! and the lines,,,,,,,,,, they are made of lines.. impeccable

also the other day i was totally able to tell that someone's eyes had little flecks of gold in them from 6 feet away, and that they had slept for only 4.5 hours last night.

So last week I tried moaning every time I ate something delicious.

It was vaguely uncomfortable and unnatural

oh my you will not believe it but i held something at arm's length and admired it.

So it's snowing rn in my city, and a bunch of the younger kids are like 'why don't we get a snow day but the rest of the city does?' (because the East Side is still open because there's less snow and stuff)

And it's like, I'm sorry, but the rest of the city is more spread out and has more snow so it doesn't make sense for school to be open and the North End is literally a mountain.

I figured out how to set up my ask box thing, so ask me anything!!!

(Keep this appropriate pls thanks)

i speak French and English fluently, and rn I'm learning 2 other languages but here's the issue... 1 of them is a dead language and one of them I've just barely learned the alphabet.

feel free to elaborate in the tags, i'm really curious! also please reblog for larger sample size

lets go!!!!

omg i love this but sameeeeee

it's the season of writer's block!

lololololololol so my director decided that the stage manager for our upcoming production is gonna be acting in a scene???? like wHAT??? it's only me backstage, because high school theatre budget, so what if it all goes to heck?????? and that scene is actually going to be cut and carried through the entire show????

Directoral Whimsy is a serious concern.

@spyld

im gonna die from laughing

genuinely about to cry at the word for france in te reo māori. so like. almost every country name is just the english name but altered to only have letters that exist in te reo (so like canada = kānata, norway = nōwei etc) except france that is literally just fucking. wīwī. as in ouioui. imgoing to fucking die

please bless me, duck of creativity. i need this for English class. I will sacrifice some golden seeds for you in payment.

why does the Prodigy Crystal Caverns theme actually go hard. its so dramatic but also peaceful at the same time. it's great.

Cashiers have all the power

let me explain. at my work, the cashiers are able to use a PA system to call people for customer service, taking baskets, price check, all that stuff.

When we close up, the manager has to go around and ask if anyone needed to buy anything, and no one had to.

One of the cashiers closing up decided it would be really funny if he asked over the PA if a certain employee, (who was right next to him) had to buy anything. He knew they didn't have to buy anything, but he still asked over the PA anyways.

All in all, cashiers have all the power.

If you watch youtube, rb and put in the tags how many videos you have in your “watch later”

Put in the tags your favourite songs you were raised on

If you want, you can let me know the language(s) in the tags, and whether or not you speak it fluently!

I'm part of my high school theatre company's set crew (im the only one on set, the only other person on stage crew is the stage manager) and I just went into storage to measure some of the set from last year's show and got hit with memories.

Oh, Valentine's Day? Hahaha, I have rehearsal.
