Anyone else notice how hard it is to express emotions when talking on the journals? Especially sarcasm?

All the more reason to give up sarcasm! :)

Try italics.

Oh, I totally hear your voice when you write, so I can totally hear the sarcasm. I'd be disappointed if you weren't being sarcastic.

I always thought italics were emphasis. Sarcasm is dryer.

Just think of it as having a strong personality. You're memorable!

I always though bold or underlining something worked well for that.

Oh, they work well too, but italics sounds more like someone speaking, to me at least.

For sarcasm, just saying (sarcasm) and being blunt about it could work.

So true!

Now whatever could you possibly want to be sarcastic about?

Hm. Italics do seem to serve the purpose well.

Never underestimate the power of CAPSLOCK. If you're being really, REALLY emphatic, that is.

I was, of course, being sarcastic.

I live in Pelham Hills, so I'm never really gone very far. I moved back into the dorms yesterday. And my summer was fine, if you ignore the constant bickering of my siblings. How was yours?

I worked some in my parents' shop, which got me away from Rhys and Seren quite a bit. Luckily, Rhys is still too young or he would have wanted in, too. Although technically if it's a family-owned business I don't think child labor laws apply. But that's neither here nor there, is it?

I'm not sure yet how this year is shaping up. I'll be running for head of the student council, and I expect I'll win. It's not as if I have competition.

Of course. Any help or insight you can provide is always appreciated.

I think I may have caught attention deficit disorder and diabetes from reading one of her journal entries.

Tell her she's going to be stepped on by a giant she annoys with her perkiness.

[Private Cass and Colwyn]

[personal profile] sugarandice 2010-09-11 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
No. That way she'll be afraid to be too perky anywhere there's giants around.

That might be a bit much. After all, we want her to believe it, right?
