BEDD #31: NYE makes me irrationally angry

NYE. The first time I saw that abbreviation, I had to google it. I thought it was some kind of exclusive boutique or another "famous" music festival I'm way too uncool to have ever heard of, or a nightclub, or some other thing that all the cool kids on the 31st of December. Alas, no. It is just another attempt of the internet to make my life all that much faster. Now, hear me out, I'm not a ABBREVIATIONS ARE THE DEVIL WHY ARE WE MESSING WITH THE PERFECT FLUIDITY OF LANGUAGE BY MESSING WITH PERFECT GRAMMAR AND SPELLING RAWRRRR!~~@ I'm actually really fascinated with technology's impact on language. I think #HashtagsAreFunny, and I got really excited when "GIF" was added to the dictionary. Languages change and adapt with culture, and I get totally geeked about that.
But New. Year's. Eve. SERIOUSLY. The longest word in that phrase is five freaking letters long. I just... I don't understand and it makes me feel uncool and question my life's choices and feel frumpy and non-stylish and just why hwy why whyyy I just asd;lafdsl;adfls;alvnabafgl;

AAaaand maybe this whole blog project was always destined to end unfortunately with a fizzle, not a bang. Because I've had a rough day, and that's about all the funny I can manage at the moment.

But weekly vlogs 2013? How does that sound? ;)

  4. Abbreviations in general make me angry due to my love affair with words. I try not to use them too much in writing when they destroy the flow of a sentence. I agree that NYE is just pure laziness.
    I want to thank you so much for starting this blogging project. Some of the things you've said this month... cannot be easily forgotten. Also, if you hadn't done the whole blogging thing, neither would I. And I don't think I want that to happen because I like it very, very much. (Talk about your Darkest Timeline, am I right?)
    And vlogs? YES PLEASE.
