Good grief, that’s hilarious! I love the flow, the whimsy, and the simple truth of the statement. Ellipses are so easy to pop in, and I suppose as a device to hold a spot when you’ve run out of ideas, they’re excellent. But at some point those ideas have to be filled in, or else your editors will be quite upset… *Laugh*

I have problems with using semicolons; in my journaling they’re one of my favorite forms of punctuation. It just seems as though I have a lot of disjointed thoughts that are somehow connected; one wonders if the thoughts are actually connected or if the semicolon is only a semblance of seeming logic stapled into the middle of an interminable ramble spilled across the page. I think at one point someone told me I used them too often in one of my stories; however, I can’t remember which one, or if I took the person seriously or not!

As a rule, I only use ellipses when journaling, as a way of separating thoughts and strolling casually from one topic to another. Ellipses are good in writing dialogue, when indicating a pause or a shift in the mood as someone’s speech trails off. At any rate, this is a great humorous item here. I’m too young to know what you’re channeling and had to look it up.

Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing *HeartG*
