I'm thinking about how you guys have said before I write/type a certain way, how you can tell when it's me who wrote the meta in the tags or liveblog or headcanon before you even see the username and

1. WHAT do I write like lol that you can immediately tell its me? ToT

2. Admittedly I do apologize for the bizarre way I word shit at times especially when I'm liveblogging and writing fast like just thoughts and periods between em and. I swear to you I did get As in English classes and could tutor people in writing essays and correct grammar it's just that skill of clarity is absolutely not being used outside academic contexts apparently

#rant #also like. the adhd. i CANNOT summarize my thoughts in like 150 characters or less lmao #which is one reason i never got a twitter #you know how when you have adhd you worry no one is going to properly get what you meant?#and then on top of that your thoughts are scattered and you struggle to summarize so even if they Could grasp #wtf you mean... you still need 2000 words to even communicate it to someone else in a roughly close way to how you meant?#yeah. ;-; yeah thats partly why i type how i do #i hope the bits that arent grammatical ARE conveying my meaning in an emotional way (like the capital letters and periods)#and ARE conveying i mean a joke or emphasis or that its my personal #emotional liveblogging reaction in a comedic over the top way and #not actually the serious No Discussion opinion #like. i am aware its very easy to sound dead serious online and also grumpy and i desire not to come off that way #in work emails which must be of course formal and grammatically correct #i use smiley face abrasively often. like 80% of my emails have :) and thank you!#in them. because i want people to feel that they are being responded to warmly.#meanwhile a literary essay? im to the point and arguementative and theres no I of course in the essays and #theres no concern with sounding nice or anything but making your point #but its a sphere where that is expected. whereas online you talk directly like that?#someone will argue youre implying your opinion is absolute and theirs is invalid (rather than it just being a stating of your opinion #as one of many existing possibilities). and then youre getting yelled at for saying some basic shit like #love coffee as a sleep aid. (because someone has to say coffees BAD and someone else has to shout coffee gives them shakes and insomnia #and u didnt happen to mention in 150 characters or less you have adhd so coffee Does put you to sleep but thats not true of everyone of #course and was NOT meant to be a blanket suggestion and hence you end uo needing... 2000 words to avoid an arguement)
