I have finally determined what makes GP's posts so good.
She's smart.
And not the stupid, show off, use big words, don't even get what you are saying because you are a brainiac, kind of smart.
She does use smart words, but they are understandable, and used in the appropriate context.
She has a certain flow, you know?
Not everyone can write like this. In fact, most people can't.
For example: Her explanation of Alias. It's the most complicated plot ever and she explains it so perfectly, it almost seems easy.
And her sentence structure is just phenomenal. You have no idea.
Listen to this. In yearbook, she had to write the TSA page. She knew nothing about TSA.
But the copy was due.
So she just whipped out this incredible, organized, smart copy right then and there and hands it in.
The next day in class the teacher gave a speech about us needing to step it up on our copy and what not and then she says, "If you want to see an example of good writing, go read the TSA page..."
What?
Ya, she is that good.
As her bff, this skill of hers has provided me with at least two perks:
1. She posts on this blog once a week to my utter enjoyment, entertainment, and thorough delight.
2. I would always get joint credit for her work in yearbook. Just because we're always together, doesn't mean we are the same person or even have the same set of skills, okay people? For example, the end of the teacher's sentence went like this, "...go read the TSA page that GP and Brittan wrote."
Uh, ya I wrote that...
Sweet.
There is one other thing I like about her writing, aside from the intelligent factor, and it is this:
You know when you are talking and you say the word "like?"
"I was walking down the street and I saw like five squirrels."
Well, when GP is writing with that word, she uses it as an appositive.
I was walking down the street and I saw, like, five squirrels.
Love it. I laugh every time.
Well that was touching. Really. Except, I don't know what an appositive is, so I guess I'm not THAT great. But I'm still great.
