I'm sorry I haven't been a big poster this summer. I'm pretty much hopeless. Not that many people read my blog anyway. But like I've said before: it's hard to blog when nothing ever happens to me.
At least I've been away from the evil boy disease this summer. Here at home there have been no guys to like, just the memory of that one boy out in Utah. And as nothing could ever possibly happen with him anyway, it's just as well that I've been here in Alabama. I still get kinda sad whenever I see something that reminds me of him, though. Well. I'll be in another ward this fall, and with any luck, there'll be another boy for me to crush on, cause that's pretty much as far as I can get with any boy.
In other news, I've been reading about a new Lord of the Rings RPG coming out next year. The website looks good; I like the artwork. I've seen all the video blogs about the game development, too. It looks pretty cool and I'm looking forward to actually seeing screenshots and whatnot. I've checked out the forum, too. It seems like other people are pretty excited about it and I like that the game developers are asking what the gamers want in the game.
There's one thing that bothers me about forums though. People do not know how to write English! I mean, use a freaking spell check, people! Learn the simple basics of grammar! Begin your sentences with a freaking capital letter! Ok. I feel better now. Every once in a while, that prescriptivist deep down inside of me comes out and I just need to rant about the lack of proper English usage on the Internet.

AAAAHHH!!!! YOU SAID PRESCRIPTIVIST!!! And you're a BYU student! I think we should be friends! Hi, I'm Cathryn. I'm a BYU student too: ELang major. I'm going to guess you're either ELang or linguistics, yeah? Who else would use a word like prescriptivist? Is it PREscriptivist or PERscriptivist?
Um... I'll shut up for now. Toodles!
Ugh. Instant messenger and forums have corrupted the English language. At least blogs have spell check and encourage good grammar.
