It's a rare public post! On occasions like this I need to dress up, or break out the caps. Something.

my abhorrence for cutesy spellings, ALL CAPS unicase, and other nonsense has been well-established. it's kind of the itch that you can't scratch of my online existence -- not something that keeps me up nights, but irritating in a small way. rather than bitch about it, i should be part of the solution ( Read more... )

today is supposed to be a very important day.

for the life of me, i can't figure out why.
