Recently I found myself skipping entries on my friends page, and then frequently visiting a few other people's LJ to read about them. Seems like it's about time I take a look at my flist and add/remove people again. Let's be adult about this. If you get removed from my flist please don't get offended.

Is there a good book or website where I can read up the correct use of preposition words such as "on", "in"... etc? Sometimes I'm just not sure which to use. For example, do I put books back "onto" the shelf or "into" the shelf, that sort of thing. These words are called "preposition", right? It's funny, I don't know any of these specific terms... I just know what "nouns", "verbs" and "adjectives" are! Oh I also know what "past", "present" and "future" tenses are. If you ask me about "adverbs", "pronouns", "present participle", "past perfect"... I'll just stare blankly at you. I had to look at the dictionary to find out that I'm asking about "preposition" words. ^^"

Wah, soooo many new RP logs to read at tenipuri_fusion. Why do you guys only post them when I'm on the last stretch towards finishing my report?! *kills you all*

I slept again. Someone please tell me why I'm sleeping so often.

My mother has developed an unnatural fondness for BB5. I thought she'd freak the hell out seeing what those people do if not learning what "reality TV" is. But apparently she found it entertaining. The only BB I watched was BB3 and I only watched it for Alex *L* Reality show's really not my thing.

I've registered the vote, but haven't voted ~_~ I'm not sure who to vote for so... gah I'll need to be more aware of these things next time.

Want to power-read manga like vicky_guu_sama has, but I don't have the time. Either want to sleep, or have to work.

I'm visual... I don't use grammar rules, just instinct.

Sometimes I'm just not sure which to use. For example, do I put books back "onto" the shelf or "into" the shelf,

I'd say ONTO...

If I think in French, you put the books SUR la tablette... that's ONTO... or ON...

If I was to put the books INTO the shelf, it would mean merging the books with the shelf (aka DANS la tablette) and unless your bookcase suffers a case of the "Philadelphia Experiment", that's mighty impossible...

I tend to just type and then look back at it and think "hey, is that right?" ^^"

Thanks for the help :) I probably should get one of those English exercise books... I feel so ashamed of myself having lived in London for so long and still have grammar mistakes all over the place *sigh*
