Dang. Why aren't all computers equipped for transcribing in IPA at ease? For anyone who wants to know what that previous sentence said, you'll have to bribe me real good. For anyone who can tell me what it says, I'll award all of my admiration, plus three gold stars. Who didn't like getting gold stars as a kid?
Anyways, I didn't really have anything to blog about tonight, except the fact that I think sometimes that I need serious help. To illustrate what sort of 'help' I need, here are several examples:
1) I am sitting here on a Friday night at midnight amusing myself by attempting to write a blog in the phonetic alphabet.
2) I somehow imagined myself meeting the man of my dreams on the internet, when he came across my phonetic blog, and responded in the comment section by using the IPA. I then imagined how we would incorporate that into our wedding, such as invitations written in IPA, with a phonetic's guide sent to everyone so they could actually read the invitation.
3) I'm not sure if I am actually serious or just trying to be funny on option #2...it would make for an interesting romance story, wouldn't it? People would ask how we met and fell in love, and it would involve blogs, the internet, and linguistics.
I'm seriously a geek. If anyone has any suggestions for me in being less 'keen' please tell me.
Oh, and just a thought I had tonight: Would I also be considered a geek just for the fact that I do record my thoughts in blog form? Once you think about it, isn't it kind of creepy that we 'bloggers' record some of our deepest thoughts on here for random people to read and comment on? Through the few peoples blog sites I am aware of, I instantly have access to an almost innumerable amount of other people by clicking on everyone's links. Is that the whole point of this? I must admit, it is kind of cool, how technology has really advanced globalization. But again...is this creepy? Am I creepy for reading random people's blogs?
I think I really need to resolve this issue...

"I have decided to try and write an entire blog using IPA but it’s taking way too long."
- less than a minute to figure out.
I expect to receive my gold stars in the mail real soon.
Good blog. Nice sharing the "eat and run" supper tonight at Julios.

I agree it is creepy putting all your most intimate thoughts out there for people to read. You've always communicated through writing. Even when you were in gr 1 and writing in your school journal or publishing stories like Kris the Snowman!! I am getting to know what is going on in your life, mind, and heart tho and that is good - sometimes distressing but gives me an idea how to pray. By the way Hi Joy!!
