I've been ranting a lot lately.
Jun. 3rd, 2004 01:29 amI'm going to try to pretend this isn't normal.
So. Um. Hey, I'm bored (as always), anybody want to introduce themselves to everybody else? Anybody who reads me but hasn't friended me want to explain why (I like to know how many people read this thing so I can brag to people who are far less obsessively geeky than I)?
Hm. Question. Why can you say "as always", but not "as often" or "as rarely"? I mean, you can express those concepts, but not with a handy idiom, you have to say "as I often am" or "as I rarely have been before" or something. Please do NOT post with quotes like "as often as I refill this, it still empties quickly" or something, that's not the same thing as saying "I am bored, as often".
