*comes back from mildly ranty, but still educational comment*

You know what?

I think my writing is improving.

See, I was here. I pop in for a bit to give my comment that "sign languages don't relate to spoken languages" comment (along with a tangent on the difference between creole, the linguistic term and Creole, the people (and not even mentioning the various languages known as Creole or Kriyol, or whatnot), stopped by with a comment about HI! (followed by a comment that's clearly Me On Nutella and Pretzels. Yummy, but so bad for my mental health. I want to go running up and down the house a hundred million times, but my mom would freak. Every time I get up to walk a bit around here, she asks me "what's wrong". Gah), and then got to this thread. Ignore my first comment, amabo te. Looking back over my second comment, I can only say the following: "Wow, that's not half-bad. Huh."

Considering that I usually don't think that much of my writing, that's impressive.

And I've been thinking "Gee, that's not too shoddy" more and more often about things I type up. Either I'm getting arrogant, or my writing is actually improving.

I'm quite happy.

I was here?

When I make a link, I say "I was here" or "this can be found here" or whatnot. But shouldn't that be there? From the context of reading my journal, here can only be "my journal". In real life, if I point to some location that's not where I am, I say "I was there", or "you'll find it there". But online, when I use a link to point to a site other than the site you and I actually are, I say here?

WHY?

I could scream....

Really, I could. Is this the new face of trolling, tired old rhetoric about how different is bad? Because that's just boring.
