The more notes I take, the more incapable of writing I become.

While writing down the phrase, "Exploration of stylistic forms offers a way of measuring cultural identity" from a Classics text of mine, I realized what I had written down was not what I had just read. It seems as though, on paper, I simply DROP LETTERS from my words. Now, this isn't a typical case of simple abbreviation -- I didn't mean to abbreviate anything. Apparently my writing has become the textual equivalent to pronouncing it "FUStrating".

In my notebook, it reads:
"Exploation of stylistic foms offers a way of measurg cultural identiy".

Come on, Jasmine. Snap out of this. MEASURG? That just looks retarded.

Or should I say, "Retardd."

Do you know what is frustrating?
When people pronounce it "FUStrating".

Where does that R fly off to? Perhaps it is that horrible extra R in "irregardless."

FUStrating reminds me of "castrating." Which, I suppose, is quite frustrating for some. "Castrating" sounds like "masturbating", which I guess can also get quite frustrating in certain situations (especially if one is castrated). But now I am getting flustered. Flustrated?
