I like the message. I know you are trying to make a point about the spelling but it is difficult to read and kind of takes away, in my opinion.

[grifter]

i accept your opinion, and hug it lovingly, i can't spell, have a terrible time with it, there was an email, that went around the department i teach in, in every word, only the first letter and last letter are in the correct positions, but you can still read it no problem, it mainly only works with common words, i think that's why this makes you stop, on the uncommon words...because of the eye movements when we read (saccadian rhythm), but i digress...

[Laura]

I would never judge someone just because they couldn't read or spell, though ... not that you were saying I would. Just stating.

[grifter]

never thought you would, that was just something i had been thinking about, i have met many educated people who are not intelligent, and many uneducated people who are extremely intelligent, a couple of times, people have asked my dad what university he went to, he just tells them the name of his elementary school lol

[Laura]

It really depends what kind of intelligence you're speaking of as well. For example, you can be really smart in science but be overall clueless about regular things. I find common sense to be the most intellectual thing a person can have.

[grifter]

extremely true, common sense is most important, i can talk about these things for hours, i love to study people and behavior, their simplistic complexity, and infinitely interesting creativity, human is the onomatopoeia for the soul

[Laura]

I only love to study people who seem interesting, and I haven't met someone like that in a long damn time. No one seems to make my mind work it's wheels anymore. Maybe I am just losing it all together.

[grifter]

yeah know what ya mean, it's few and far between, that i find smoeone, i can stand to be in a room with for more than 15 min, but then someone will come along, and glow in my head, always before i go to sleep, i think to myself, that i will only draw people to me, that have the capacity for great love...but then i have nightmares about tornados, lol

[Laura]

I don't draw people to me and people don't draw me to them. I don't go to sleep thinking of love and I don't dream.

It's hard to be enthusiastic at all anymore.

[grifter]

every experience you have, flipping a tooth paste cap, petting a goldfish, making little signs that say YES!, and posting them all over your room, even us talking, is something to learn from, a little more knowledge, about who you are, who others are, why we are here, sweetly etcetera, and i take every experience, good n bad, hold them in consciousness, and learn from them, it makes me more grey, instead of black and white, more in the middle, closer to transcendence, and i believe there is love in the middle, i know there is, this isn't my first rodeo, i'm sure of it, it's there for everyone, we just have to reach for it,
things will get better honey

[Laura]

Yes, if I knew when I would be counting down the days.

[grifter]

use the days to draw poisonous dragonflies till then, make sure their wings shimmer, and that you use, dangerous colors, you can do that, i've read your poetry, talk to people you would normally avoid, just to screw with them, make chicken noises, in public places, don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things, i gotta go, i'll try my best to send ya some dreams, if you don't mind tornado's lol

[Laura]

Even the worse of things are better than nothing at all.

[grifter]

that's the metaphor darlin, l'm blowing kisses toward canada, be well

Thanks.

I am picky becuase I was raised by an English professor... She used to get my weekly assignments after I had truned them in and had received a grade from my teacher and she would grade them and then return them to my teachers at the end of the week or month and that was my childhood. Traumatized me. A lot of times I don't say anything on spelling, unless I see that it is a typo... I understand what you are saying here. Good point My husband has a 3 grade education and often gets discouraged from writing me letters because of his inability to read or write... But he is bilingual and probably the most inteligent person I know other than my grandmother.
