Pinching yourself to see if you're awake doesn't work.

I dreamt I had bought book 8 and 9 of Transmetropolitan, and pinched my arm to see if I was awake. As it did nothing, I then proceeded to read them. Partway through book 8, I woke up.

Lousy crappy dreams.


Also, "drug" is not, and has been, the past tense of "drag". That is dragged. All of you people who speak English as a native tongue should know this. We all learnt to double consonants and add "-ed". Don't pretend you didn't.

We all learnt to double consonants and add "-ed".

What is this double consonants thing you speak of?

Cam I say that I done drugged this dude over the floor? (Mmmm, *scratches chin deviously* I suppose I could if I were a redneck hick with no working knowledge or respect for my supposed native tongue...) Ever notice how sleep deprivation makes a person strange?

Anyway, I should probably not mock the verb usage since I'm often guilty of verb slayage myself. Still...that was fun. :3

Those sort of colloquialisms are fine if it's a character speaking who doesn't know any better, but I get very frustrated by intelligent people using them all the time.

*doesn't mind you being strange*

Yes, I do. And thank you, but no.

Are you telling me that I can't have brung the trunk that I drug behind me yesterday? You don't make any sense, you silly grammar Nazi.

(;P I get annoyed by that one as well - you're not alone.)

*snerks* You rule.

I'll leave the ruling to you - can I just stand behind you and look intimidating? ;)

Hee! Sure.
