Out of interest.

Meg recently commented that she often has trouble telling my entries from Chris' entries here, and since she is the second person to mention this, Tyler being the first, I thought I'd tear apart a short entry to illistrate how I pick up bits of language from everyone I interact with, and which bits are mine. Oh whine, whine, you don't want to read it, I know, but it's a short entry, so it should be fairly painless. Plus you must have better things to do with your time than to stare at a computer screen, right? Yeah, me too.

An entire day of visiting and tea, pranks and ridiculousness. Indulgent, but so good. Plus we justified the vancouver lawn fetish, if only for one apartment building on one day. This means I have to do the concentrated work thing tomorrow, but it's so worth it.

I'm becoming less ticklish. Random, but remarkable to me nonetheless. Beet fries, yohgurt and sugar. Yes. I'm rather tired and happy in the sortof shattery too much to hold way, so my thoughts are breaking down into little bits. Have a piece, have a reflection of you, a piece of me, a random plant or food or thought. They're sparkly and they won't be there in the morning, but they're happy and you'll remember them for a while.

The green is concentrated me, the purple is Chris, the red is Meg. It's just a little entry, but yes, I absorb language that I like, but by absorbing it I make it mine. I've also started using Erin/jugglerchris' "dude" recently, which amuses me. I like contagious language, especially when I notice it after the fact. I also occassionally use Chris' condescending 'dear' and tone of voice when I feel like being offensive. It makes me happy. I used Erin's unimpressed voice to shame my director into doing a second storyboard so the guy who's doing editing will know what the hell to do with all our footage....it's still me, it's just me using different voices....if that makes sense. Anyway, sleep is now in order.

Of course, the rhythm and style are often influenced too, but they're harder to point out. Perhaps when I'm a bit more awake.
