| Is It Just Me......or doesn't it annoy you when someone IM's you and it reads:
> Lol
> Rofl
> Hey this sentence has a capital first letter but no punctuation or other proper capitalization lol
I think auto-capitalization is the dumbest feature ever implemented on cell phones. They should just call it auto-doucheification, because that's what it makes you look like.
When you're talking in an IM, it's almost always informal, and all the punctuation and properness is implied. You're not typing an essay, so you just provide the bare minimum of communication; it gets the point across, so why not?
But when there is a capital first letter of a sentence, but the rest of the "properness" is missing, it throws up a huge WTF flag in my head. It looks so wrong because it's neither proper nor casual, it's just an awkward anomaly of douchiness.
If someone is too lazy to hit shift and then type the first letter of their sentence, do you really think they're going to bother typing the rest of the sentence properly? What purpose does auto-capitalization even serve? You already have to make a conscious effort (for the most part) to type a properly punctuated and capitalized sentence, so the gain made by automatically capitalizing the first letter is almost nil.
I'm so annoyed, I almost want to make a group on Facebook hating on auto-caps.*
Ban this shit. Make it illegal. Seriously.
* = One probably exists already, and yes, this sentence is intended to be humorous; i'm fully aware of the pointlessness of Facebook groups. | | |

how hard is it for people to not do this? lol
that looks nothing like it did before your fatass decided you needed 50 sugars...and then changed ur mind | | |
| Not talking to her is a really, really hard thing to do.
But I hope it's for the better. At this point I'm done analyzing and trying to figure out what the repercussions of decisions are...I'm just gonna try this because I've got to try something.
I need to get my mind off things. | | |
| Irony, now airing Back-To-BackI found out how some people really are.
I'm prepared to move on. Other people already have; they saw what I'm just finding out myself. I don't want to; losing a friend is a horribly sad thing...even moreso if you have to do it on purpose. But if things don't change, if things stay unfair...you gotta do what you gotta do.
I hope, I pray every night that it won't come to that point. That they were just unaware of what they were doing to other people, and no one's brought it up to them before I did. I want them to change,I have a feeling they'll change, but honestly at this point I don't know what to believe, so I'm not going to believe anything.
I'm emotionally drained, numb, and don't really feel like anything. But on the positive side, my perspective is now quite enlightened. Only time will tell whether they can reciprocate, whether we can rebuild what has been lost, stronger and better than before...or whether i'll have to cut my losses, say it was an interesting 4 or more years, and say goodbye.
We'll see. The world is once again, right and level for me...there are pieces of a friendship broken on the ground, but this time, it's not my responsibility to pick them up.
But I really hope she does.
you have to choose the battles you want to fight

| Officially TiredI am tired.
Since Friday, I was busy being in Vegas for Wustefest 2009. It was an amazing trip...counted at least 180 fixed up Audi's, Volkswagens, and BMW's. Met a few people, but hell if I remember their names.
Some guy from Canada sold his bobsled-racing dogs to pay for motor work on his Audi TT...that thing was ridiculous. One of the stars of the show, easily.
Another person had a big map of the US taped to his hood...with the path he was driving traced on the map. Started on the East Coast and drove all the way through the south to Vegas, and he was hitting up NorCal and driving back through the PNW.
I cruised the Strip in my friend's VR6 Jetta...with two 15" subs in the back. You're a Jerk! (i know)
Invented the Tropical Bomb...and then drank two in a row.
I've got a few pics and 2 hours of tape footage to edit now...I'll get to it after I sleep.
peaceeee
