The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part six — Page 162

WRQ, can you please break up your sentences?! Your sentences kind of... collapse on themselves. I'm sorry.

Whatever, I have no clue if I'll even be in DC that weekend, and I certainly don't think there's any wrong with going to visit friends in one college and seeing Adam for that one time.

Yeah, sorry. I'm gonna grab a post-it and put it on my labtop to remind myself to put in more periods and separate more thoughts. I sometimes fall into the trap of typing the same way I talk. When I talk in certain contexts, I tend to run-on. I even talk as I type. I promise to work on that.

*Goes in kitchen to get post-it*

Yes it is! He's wonderful.

Capital I am so tired period.

Skittles, there's something different about school papers. Maybe there's shouldn't be a difference, and that could be part of my problem. I don't feel as though my voice would come across in the similar manner, but perhaps there is a happy medium. I can look out for run-on sentences and fragments without having to spend 20 minutes trying to figure out the exact word I want to use in a sentence

And well, I'm sorry. I think I got too defensive. Thanks for explaining Alix, I understand better now, and Em I think I understand your reaction. I'd like to say it involves that I see things differently in my mind, but I can't deny that I very well can be rationalizing. I did learn a bit tonight, so I'm grateful for that. Once again, I'm sorry, and that's all I'll say about it anymore.

(I made effort to split up my sentences better; hope it made a bit of difference)

BSo, you're awesome. .

Not to be neurotically obsessed with detail as I so oft am, but I think there should be a semi-colon: And skittles, hop in my mouth; I'm hungry for something fruity!

You know, just to try it, I got SKITTLES gum. ['Skittles gum' being in the accusative; not 'skittles' (dative) 'gum' (accusative)].

Anyway, they call it Bubble Gum. But that's a bigger lie than harpooning whales is unhealthy for whales (don't get me started).

I mean, you need at least three skittles = a chewable piece of gum (not bubble gum, mind you. Just gum!)

Anywhoo, I did the calculations that there are 30 skittles per pack (at least that's what they advertise on the box. If I come up short at the end, I will flip out). Three per a chewable piece - so that's 10 pieces of gum. Normal pacs come with, what, 5 sticks?

Plus, you can mix up the flavor combinations!

But I don't remember how much it costs for a "box" of 30 pieces.

Anyway, I really like it. I have the black box, the wild fruit something...I dunno.

I just grabbed it. The lady making my sandwhich there, in the deli, was getting me involved with an inner store confrontation.

Apparently, the Indian wrote mustared on the mustard bottle. And the hispanic woman making the sandwhich made fun of her. "Maybe that's how you spell it in India, but that's not how we spell it in America." The irony is, neither of them spoke English well.

It was like the producers of Brooklyn telling the producers of The Woman in White what they (the WiW producers) did wrong, with Cameron Mackintosh presiding.

Or Carter telling Bush how to be president, while in the presence of Regan.

You get it. Kettle/Pot, Pot/Kettle.

Okay, my attempt to return this thread to a nice, happy, obsession-fested little zone. Isn't this adorable?

What's wrong with a conversation about Skittles?

I love my sour skittles!

I wish I had some, other than the gum. Which taunts me day after day!

Like, "You can't swallow us! But we make it hard to chew!"

It's like communism in a box!
