This entry is an hour of my life that I'll never get back!

I was going to use my Ayumi "Ourselves" icon for this entry because I have yet to use it, but it is so DEPRESSING. I like this violent one much better.

A bunch of our relatives and family friends have taken up the habit of writing family newsletters, and I love these things to pieces because they are adorable, but at the same time they are painful reminders of why I would rather talk to these people. Basically, I have yet to see a newsletter that appears to have been written by someone who knows how to write. And I try to be fair, I know not everyone likes writing or loves grammar or anything like that, but I don't know, it still pains me. The latest one we received featured a picture of the oldest son in his role as Billy from their school production of Chicago - said the caption, "He was very, very good." Just ... honestly, I'm sure you could have thought of something more powerful to say than that.

Not to say that I'm any better. I mean, I could pretend I'm a better writer than that, but you guys have all seen my LiveJournal, let's get real here ...
