Lol Nagato, you love a Dollwitch, huh.

And yeah, her usual Love-Hate relationship with Marisa is kinda quirky. But I love Patchouli too…

Actually, I think I like Alice better because of the catchy IOSYS flash. XP

Until you get the right formula, that is.

And Nagato, no need to stress being a Reimu fan. We all know armpits are the rage these days.

“It’s not how you say it, it’s how you make the readers understand what you want to say.”

Truth. And often, it can be the hardest thing to do. But that’s why I keep trying it.

The only thing I got out of this was delicious armpits. =(

Depends if you’ve got “the bandwagon” after you, powertripping-wise.

We all know the blogger has the power, but that power depends if it reaches the targets it wishes to reach. That power CANNOT DICTATE what the people feel about how the post was done, even if it was done so uniquely as as to not going to be easily understandable. Thus continues the battle of unique vs. simple, whereas the same goal of affecting readers is still imminent.

Contrary to the comment I posted on the piece this was based off of, that is definitely one incongruence between the blogosphere and academia – advocacy vs. acceptability/dense vs. accessible. Many times, texts are bitching hard to read and are in the most nebulous language, and it has to do with the language/power/regime of truth/discourse of academia – so in this case the blogger has the power, in the most simplistic sense.

And damn, if it weren’t for that powertripping thing and how I will actually abide by that…

Post gangrene isn’t something I see on your place yet… at least. I see relevance most of the time that it’s staying consistent to a certain degree of a topic discussed.

Great post. It’s hard to balance style and readability, but I try to do both. I hope I haven’t started ‘post gangrene’ or whatnot.

But it is necessary for us to enjoy ourselves as well.
