WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING??
My very good friend Kat just informed me a little while ago that today is International Caps Lock Day. SO, HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY EVERYBODY!
NOW IS IT JUST ME OR DO YOU RAISE THE LEVEL OF YOUR INTERNAL MONOLUGE SEVERAL DECIMALS WHEN YOU READ SOMETHING IN ALL CAPS? I KNOW IT FREAKS SOME PEOPLE OUT, SO I PROBABLY SHOULD NOT OVERDUE IT. I GOTTA TELL YOU THOUGH THAT IT’S VERY, VERY, OH SO VERY TEMPTING TO WRITE THIS ENTIRE POST IN THE ALL CAPS STYLE!
WAIT, IS ALL CAPS ACTUALLY A STYLE LIKE SAY CALLIGROPHY OR CURSIVE ARE A STYLE? IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WROTE IN ALL BLOCK LETTERED CAPS FOR ALL OF MY HOMEWORK AND PAPERS. IT WAS CONSIDERED VERY NEAT AND UNLIKE WHEN USING ALL CAPS FOR EMAIL, NO ONE EVER ACCUSED ME OF YELLING.
THE ONLY COMPLAINT I HAVE ABOUT TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS THAT YOU USUALLY ARE SO USED TO HITTING THE SHIFT KET AT THE START OF EVERY SENTENCE THAT THE FIRST LETTER OF ALL YOUR SENTENCES ENDS UP LIKE THIS: tO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, MY NAME IS mICHAEL, ETC., ETC…. THEN YOU JUST END UP LOOKING LIKE IN IDIOT.
I’M GOING TO WRAP THIS UP NOW BECAUSE I AM FINDING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE ON WRITING WITH ALL OF THIS YELLING. SERIOUSLY, AFTER READING THIS, NO ON ELSE HEARS THAT BELL RINGING? WHAT?? OH, I THOUGH YOU SAID SOMETHING. SORRY.
(NOW PLEASE GO AHEAD AND FEEL FREE TO LEAVE ANY AND ALL COMMENTS IN THE CLASSIC ALL CAPS STYLE…)

NOW THIS IS A DAY WORTH CELEBRATING!!
I could not read this post completely, I had this vision of you just yelling at me and it was upsetting.
The ALL CAPS approach can be especially entertaining, when dealing with mentally ill authority figures. I had an old boss, who constantly littered her confusing, rambling missives with words in ALL CAPS to assert her power. Funny stuff.
I had to put ear plugs in before I could read the post.
Shouting always makes me uneasy, which is why it's difficult for me to be around a person who's hard of hearing BECAUSE THEN I HAVE TO RAMP EVERYTHING UP A FEW DECIBELS AND I FEEL REALLY GUILTY BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE I'M TRYING TO PICK A FIGHT.
I also hate it when I have to shout before the drive-thru person can hear me.
I SAID I WANT A DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER WITH NO ONIONS, A SIDE SALAD WITH ITALIAN DRESSING, A LARGE TEA AND A DATE WITH JOHNNY DEPP!!
I LOVE ABUSING CAPS LOCK
