my friend was like "are you still single"

my friend was like "are you still single"

and i didn't know how to reply like sry im too insecure to let people in ahaha, so i said "it's so hard to find a guy who can use english well"

friend was like, "oh really?"

i said, "yeah it's surprisingly hard"

wow at that moment i really felt how true it was. goddamn. accidentally discovering truths about myself.

been struggling with group writeups these days and im just about ready to take a flying leap out of my window. no matter how competent my classmates are or how many extra-curricular activities they're part of or how many clubs they lead and manage.... they can't even use english properly

and im not talking about english in general. im not a prescriptivist. ffs i dont use apostrophes and capital letters most of the time.

but this is my personal blog and !!!!! the assignment is a formal assignment. so, sry, im gonna have to ask you to adhere to all the teeny tiny archaic rules of english no matter how illogical they are.

but, for god's sake. i'm not even asking for much. i just want consistent tenses. and using the right tenses to describe past research vs the still applicable findings of said research. i just want them to use the FUCKING OXFORD COMMA.

/angry breathing

i just... want them to stop using semi-colons willy nilly.

they're 20++ years old and english is their first (sometimes only) language so...?????? is it too much to expect strong basics in the language. i'm not even asking them to juggle conjugations and past future perfect tenses whatever fuck. just. give me a grammatical sentence that also makes sense semantically. that's all i ask. i don't want to be ur editor i just want to do the groupwork!! just like everyone else!! i dont want to have to edit ur english ffs fffffffff why can't you just !!!!!! ive been editing my groupmates' english for years im sick and tired

/more angry breathing

this never fails to get me worked up.

and the amazing thing is how overall competent they are at all. bruh if you can juggle 10 extra activities can i please just ask you for consistent fucking tenses ffs.

so.

back to my friend's innocuous comment.

i think im never going to date unless they can write properly. bonus points for explaining archaic english rules. bonus points for using "whom" correctly. nerding turns me on intellectually.

anyway im not about to make the first move when i hardly even have emotions + it's not like there's much about me for people to crush on = no one is ever going to crush on me and make the first move therefore i'll just support handsome idols and anime ikemens my whole life.

but thanks, friend, for being concerned, i guess.

i mean, i get a bit jealous when i see those lovey-dovey couples, but at the same time i'm also kind of like... what's so desirable about all that?? seems kind of like a hassle

i love it when i stay up past dawn and the skies turn pale pastel

when i look out the row of windows, i see that the sky is hazy, gentle. at this moment i can intensely feel how beautiful the world is. i always turn pensive, thinking of how big, how wondrous, how filled with possibilities the world is. 

it's indescribable. i am filled with respect for all living things. for this moment i am a better person than i have ever been.
