Goddamnit, people.
1) Learn to fucking spell. Learn to use goddamned punctuation properly. Learn what words are and are not part of the English language. I'm tired of this shit.
2) Why aren't semicolons available in text messaging? I've searched in vain for this symbol on no less than three separate occasions, and every time I think, "WTF? Why isn't this here?" and then I get all roid-ragey.
3) And speaking of specific punctuation marks, can I just say that I hate exclamation marks? When I see people use them (outside of the occasional "OMG!") all I can think is low brow. Let's just get this out into the open: only stupid people like exclamation marks. I use them sparingly, only when absolutely necessary. They're like the dogs of the punctuation world. Stupid dogs.
4) I hate having to hug people that I don't really know/don't want to hug. Why do people feel the incessant need to hug goodbye? Are we in high school again or something? Also, I can tell when you don't want to hug me--it feels all feeble and creepy, like a dead fish handshake. So just don't initiate the hug, okay? Sometimes I try to maneuver out of the hugging zone by pretending to be really interested in something else far away. This only works some of the time, unfortunately. This is how it goes: Good friends, yes. People I only kind of know, but who give nice, strong, substantial hugs (in a non-creepy way), yes. Everyone else? Get your goddamn hands off her. I mean me.
It should be noted that exlamation points are appropriate and even necessary when quoting or making up quotes of what the low-brow or moronic population says/would be likely to say.
Also, maybe you just don't understand the intricacies of the English language.
