Scrap 1

I'm often writing in my journals, and while I have the best of intentions of getting that writing to online, it doesn't always get here. 

Such is the fact of scrap one.  I found this in the same PotC notebook in which I had just written my non-fic prompt.



Life as a Fangirl (written: 6/23/2006)

6:05PM


One thing I've learned as a fangirl is one musn't be afraid of the unknown.  The unknown is one of the domains of the fangirl.  She goes where others fear to travel.  She has many things which drives her to do this, but the promary and most important reason is she has to.  There is a driving force which compels her to reach for depths which others are afraid to soar to.  This is the halmark of the fangirl ("to thy own self be true"); it is  both a blessing and a curse.  In this life, it is difficult for people who deviate from the 'norm' to continue even though to continue means receiving scorn.

Editing Fun while at Work

Shazia, the instructional specialist, has given me the task of typing some REALLY old (talking 60s or 70s here) information sheets about punctuation.

I just found a sentence which shows the age of this writing rather nicely:

One of the examples of the semicolon states: He needed butter, for his ham and eggs; jam, for his toast; and his wife, for entertainment while he had breakfast.

I can't wait to see what other gems crop up from the time of non-pc. :D
