I’ve channeled an old obsession of mine: the ampersand. I remember I used to get a lot of shit for it when it started appearing too many times in my essays, probably for my grammatically incorrect usage. And it was then when I tried my best to rid myself of this habit. The ampersand, like the semi-colon and the interrobang, is widely known as “useless”. We don’t “need” them. However, it is a stylistic choice. And if used correctly, it can create an elegant flair to sentences. As an individual with ideas, opinions, and personal narratives, it is a grammatical symbol that inevitably stands for something more than "and". I believe that having the ability to write is the same as having the ability to translate one’s inner, most personal stories so that they become perceptible for everyone to see. It is a symbol that reminds me to keep writing (literally). It is an elegant representation for my appreciation of the literary works, for the written word, and for my love of writing.On an related note, tonight was really fun. I love those adventures. And Souplantation. And Bright Eyes. And Crystal! Also, everything in some sort of way is suggestively perverted (ooh!). Only 2 more pages to go!
Good night!
