haha i like this thread. but i think it woill take (see there i went i wanted to taype will but typed 'would' or rather wanted to because eh why am i typing all this out?) trememndous self-restraint to not hit the backspace key.

my dad used to own one of those electric typerwriters that had an ;ersase' tape (i meant to type 'erase') and i loved using it, if only to see the words becoming 'untyped'. wonder where it went to.

Ok. So, I won't edit. how about I tell you aboyut my day? Today I woke up, about 12:00. I got up, and took a bath. I didn'y do my bair or anythinf. I threw my clothes back on, the smae ones I'bve been wearinf and sleeping in all week. Then I got online, and Talked to One-winged-angel. and then I wentto Noah's with my mom and got a bagel. only they gave us plain cream cheese instead of locks spread, so my mom had to exchange it. then, I went to Michaels and got an insane amount of yarn, as it was a sale. then i cam home, checked tosee if OWA was on. he wasn't so i crocheted and watched Casper. then, I got back online, and talked to him for like, 5 mintues. and here i am.

it's not so much the typos htat I have to worry about - i what i have to worry about is the sppeed at which i'm typing. i've been praised at school for my typing smepeed, and most of the time i don't evn have to look at the ekeyboard.

Ahhh ! tHIS POSTis addictive, I can't help looking and laughing T THE way we all evidently clean up our own mistakes, . I tas obviousl;y in a bid to be understood, but I think if you arwe rreading this page, you have a gist of what is going on. I think that I anm typing too fast and messily for my own fingers. That and my attention span is terrible, so I forget what punctuatuion I am syupposed to be putting in. Bloody caps lock kepps gettign the better of me, I 'm going to use shift in future.

I woke up about an hour or so ago and na as soon as I am done with WP I will be cooking breakfast and going out on a nce hike wi while the whether remains clear (and cold).

Then tonight I have a b-day party to go to, and after thsat another party accross do town for UFC 78, its a very buissy night and I have not been to a party in a few weeks and am happy to this day I still get invited to go out and do things even tho I spend an increasingly amount of time on the comouter (mainly here) or by myself out in the woods.

I messed upa few times, but nothing too bad. I typed at only a medium pace, not mu my full fast pax pace because I wanted time to think before I typed.

This is me typing real fast,l as you can see im still not messin up too much, tho if I continue toyu you will see many different errors because I cant fix them'
