i think what he was trying to say was that i remind him of how english is not his native language but i think the way i use english makes most people feel like it's not their native language

one of my friends told me today “i always understand you but sometimes when i talk to you i have to google words that you say.” hey buddy i get it, me too!

#i am indeed a strange user of words #cont #i haven't reread it in years but im reminded of that passage in marianne's book (faithfull: an autobiography 1994 to be specific)#where she talks about her early years of knowing anita and how she was never quite sure what she meant. she could be sarcastic and seem #like an oracle at the same time.#something like that i suppose. ill have to go find that.#except i guess that has nothing to do w native language i guess since anita was the one who didn't speak english natively #also i am not and never will be as cool or sexy as anita pallenberg #ill testify to that in court #also if you missed my prev. tags this guy is not someone who still generally struggles w english just to be clear
