#1 Pet Peeve

03/21/2010

Hi there strangers.

You know what gets under my skin more than anything else?
Stupid people.
As previously mentioned I 'suffer' from Schizophrenia, what I didn't mention was that I also 'suffer' from severe dyslexia. This is a particularily well kept secret, but luckily none of you know who I am so I don't feel particularily voulnerable letting you know. It really bothers me when I get people whining ooon and on and on and on (etc. you get the point) about how they can't do this or can't do that because of their 'learning disorder'.

Don't get me wrong, I totally understand that it makes things like reading and writing more difficult. I've been there, and then some. Even right now I'm having to wear green lensed reading glasses so I can read the screen properly. (yes, haha, I need goofy glasses to read black on white writing, get it out of your system now.) It's not helping yourself however to just say 'I don't do English' or 'Oh I don't read stuff, I have dyslexia'. You should read MORE!

I'm fairly certain there are probubly a bunch of spelling errors in these garbled rants I write, but the words I can't spell I look up, and I play scrabble and do crosswords to teach myself.

I get that this is kinda turning into a 'I Rock - U Suck' rant, but honestly I'm just talking about what pisses me off. It puts a big-ass smile on my face when I see someone with learning disabilities kicking ass in the real world. My sisters training to be a nurse, and all power to her!


... Einstein was dyslexic.
