I have discovered a brand new pet peeve. Well, not entirely new, but I didn’t realize just how much it bothered me until now... In short, internet typing. You know -- u, ur, complete lack of anything resembling puncuation... I mean, I’m guilty of slacking on capitalization a lot of the time. But I feel like what I write generally follows the basic rules of the English language. Literacy -- it’s important, people.

On another, totally different note -- I have an adorable stuffed otter, courtesy of my parents and the St. Louis Zoo. All who have seen it today since I got it in the mail have fallen before its amazing cuteness. Yay cuteness.
