OK journal entry here we go.....
...So I drank most of a bottle of rum last night without really meaning to. This morning I woke up still a little drunk and had to give a speech while I was still drunk. I did pretty well I think, except that I lost one of my cards and so my main evidence for my position was left out of the speech. Later I realized that the card was in my hand the whole time
I'm a fucking idiot.
Everyone should go here. Its a website that gives you hundreds of common mistakes people make in speaking and the way to avoid these mistakes. I heart it a lot.
my current favorite: '"ATM" means "Automated Teller Machine," so if you say "ATM machine" you are really saying, "Automated Teller Machine machine."'

I also need a pronounciation guide.
Did I spell that correctly?
Guess what my hands smell like!
