ANYWAY VS. ANYWAYS

Warning: This entry may contain a large amount of ranting. If you were not expecting a rant, it's not too late to turn back and go to some other page... This is your last chance... Okay, here goes:

Why must the human nature be so... stubborn? As you can already infer from this title, this is about how people never change their old ways, either because they are too used to it, or they purposely do it, simply for the pleasure of seeing how others react. Now, before I go off on a tangent and start ranting about cheese or something, I'll steer myself back on topic by saying: just what exactly am I ranting about? Well, there's an easy answer:

One. Simple. Word.

"Anyways."

For those who are going, "What?! 'Anyways' isn't a real word..?! Q.Q" Well, tough luck. It's not a word, and never will be (I hope... -gulp-). Really, in order to be grammatically correct, you must use the real form of this imaginary word, "anyway." NOTICE, THERE IS NO "S." YOU HEAR ME...?!Now, if this is news to you, do not despair! For I too, used to be a fan of the word "anyways." But alas, that was before I found out, that this word, despite its popularity, does not exist! From that point on, I made it my goal to correct those poor souls who still believe that such a word exists! You would not believe how many times I come across such popular usage of this word on a daily basis. I have already made it clear of my intolerance for this word to my friends and acquaintances-- And yet, they instead, have seen it as my main pet peeve, and have now turned it to their advantage! Oh, the horror of it all! (YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING TO...)

So be it. If they choose to use such a nonexistent word, then I shall not give more of a rat's cheese worth of thought on it. My opinion: Continuing to use the nonexistent word "anyways" in everyday life, whether because of old habit or for personal entertainment, shows immaturity and lack of true understanding of such a complicated language as English. Now, I can not say that I know everything there is to such a diverse language, but I do know this:

"ANYWAYS" DOES NOT EXIST.

But whatever. "It's your future."
("itz ur brain." Only a few select people will actually understand the reference... But ANYWAY...)

Disclaimer: No, I usually don't make my rants this short. I wouldn't even call this a "rant..." But it will have to suffice.

Old random... comic.

(click for the full image)

Yeah, I started a comic series back in the good ol' 6th grade days, and then I took it up again for a few months last year, which continued into this year. Here's one of the last ones I drew, and it's probably my favorite too. (Hey that rhymes...! Uh anyway...)

Sorry for the horrible image quality. It's probably the best I can do with such a limited format...

Anyway, I'm probably going to move all of my old comics here, just for the heck of it. After that, I'll probably just start an entirely new series. After all, a green jelly blob and a purple flame? What the heck? ...No, that's just something that I won't keep.

Winter Break

See, I warned you not to expect frequent posts... Seeing how this is the first post after the first post (does that even make sense? Of course it does) after a while, it seems as if I have a bunch of things to catch up on, yes?

...Nope. Too lazy. You're probably thinking, "What? 12 days of winter break and she doesn't have time to type a blog entry?"

No, as I said before, I really don't feel like typing what's happened in the past month. This is a random blog, have you forgotten? I can write about whatever I please, and in this case, it is not about what has happened since the last time I've posted. Perhaps I should talk about how my family stayed at the lamest resort you could possibly imagine for 2 nights, at a ridiculously low price (probably the reason all the frugal asian parents flocked there, seeing a "good deal..."). Or perhaps I should talk about how wonderful my Christmas presents were, because I love receiving socks and pencils as presents. My parents are oh-so-thoughtful; I always need more socks so I can rearrange my sock drawer... So all in all, my presents were even bettar than Chuck Norris. (-gasp- Yeah, I went there...)

But onto some other winter break-related stuff. To my dismay, there hasn't been any decent snowfall lately (guess sledding is off my activities list), but certainly a lot of dense fog (zomg fog is a colloid) which is a nightmare to drive through, according to my mom. And uh, there's nothing much else to talk about so far, is there. I've gotten about 1/100 through my projects which will continue to be procrastinated (yes, even after I've realized that I am procrastinating... -.-), I seem to be getting an average of 1 extra hour of sleep because of the break, and my boredom level has risen to about OVER 9000!... Uh, anyway...

Well, that just about wraps it up (pun completely intended). Maybe I'll find something to rant about later.

Hey look- It's a new blog!

Yes, I should be working on my projects and homework right now... But just for the heck of procrastination, I created a blog. Expect some random posting here and there, and maybe I'll upload my old comics when I feel like it.

Yes, it's "TOMATO." Life is like a tomato...? Yeah right. There are better similes out there.
