Is this real life?

me: i'm at home...not feeling well and waiting for sources to get back to me.

me: i'm reading this email i'm sending out and it's like "are these words? did i write this?" i'm so out of it

Claire: hahahahahahahaha i totally know exactly what you mean.

Claire: it's kind of like when you try to write too late at night, and you sit there wondering for a good minute whether or not "bagel" is a real word

A lack of oxygen to the brain

me: i had another definition question. the more I write, the stupider I feel

me: stupider?

me: woof.

Jordan: hahaha

"Who gives a f*ck about an Oxford comma?" - Oxford Comma, Vampire Weekend

Jordan: ohhhh yes

or: "Before she went to the park, Claire went to the beach"

10:54 PM me: I ALWAYS use that one

I've been told that I'm wrong!

I'm so glad.

10:55 PM Jordan: this is the toughest one:

"I wanted to do it, and I wanted to do it well"

vs. "I wanted to do it and do it well"

me: which is it?

Jordan: it's both.
