frist march 2013 life is funy how people r nice. Today mrs. Dunabe gave me a biskit, it tasted good. It was raining and I guess I started this notery or diabook or whatevs becuz mis Dunabe sed if I write down my thunks mybe my eddicatino will improve and I can get a job which would be good. I seen a cat chasing a flutterby and it was funy and I dont like moping. and cleaning and dusting and kids poke fun at me and thats not funy but they laff like its funy. at least mz. Dunabe is at scool and duzznt laff at me, but we laff together at the joke book she has in the class bookshelf. time moves slow.

sekund march 2013 today a man came to my house and sed mrs. Dunabe asked him to meet me and he was wearing a tie and had a funy smell and gave me some money and sed I should try his machine and I did. he had a funy machine in his van and it made me feel warm and shivery up my spine and was metally. and he gave me a test and it was hard so he sed do my best and I did but not much

Third March 2013 I feel...different today. Mayb the machine did something, I dont know but today is sunday so I went to the church and listened but it was looooong and slow. Then I had a biskit and went sleepy tiem but not before the man came again with his machine and funy smell and I did the warm and shivery up my spine and metally thing with electricks and he gave me more money

Fourth March, 2013. Miss Dunabe wasn't at scool today, mayb sick with a sore tummie I guess so I just did my rounds and didn't see any flutterbies becuz it was rainy all poor down so I went home and was cold and wet. The funy smell man came again and gave me another envlope with money and his machine zapped me and made me warm and shivery up my spine with electricks. The day went fast. Then I went to sleep after making bake on on toast.

Fifth March, 2013. Happily, Miss Dunabe was back at school today, much better and she smiled to see me and asked about the man so I told her he zapped me and she laughed and I laughed because the machine zapped me. The clock in the wall of the schoolroom is interesting, because it moves most slowly the closer it is to 5pm. But today it moved fast until 4.45pm and then it was sloooow and I went home but I had a burger first at the burger shop where a nice man with squinty eyes said hello and asked how I was but he spoke a little funny. And the funny smell man again zapped me and again gave me money in an envelope.

Sixth of March, 2013. Interesting is an interesting word, due to its considerable length and syllables. As is considerable. And syllables is just nice to say because of the el and speaking of ells I see on the wall of one of the classrooms where it said el is for lay dee bug. And it had a picture of a ladybug, which was interesting because I hadn't seen a ladybug for a considerable length of syllables and time too and speaking of time it was zooooooming on by today and even 4.45 wasn't slow. I ran home today and the man was there and asked me to do a test again, which was considerably more interesting this time, although there weren't many syllables per se. Per se has few syllables. And of course he zapped me with his zappy machine but he didn't give me any money, so I asked why and he said he was poor. Poor him, I hope the rain doesn't pour down from his eyes like I see some people do.

Seventh of March, 2013. Today I had a chat with Miss Dunabe, and she laughed quite a lot more than usual, and stared at me oddly. I'm not entirely sure why... regardless, today the sun was shining and we saw a butterfly fly by, but it moved so quickly today. I was quite confident that on previous occasions it had moved much more slowly. It didn't make me quite as happy as on previous occasions, either. The man, whom I suspect is a scientist of some sort, administered another dose of electrical trickery with his machine, and again had no money. He muttered something about government grants. I didn't particularly mind, as I could survive on my janitor's salary quite well, especially considering I was a single male in a small house, with no dependants.

Eighth of March, 2013. Today at the school I saw some light shining through a window and gave a great deal of thought to the idea that light must be energy because it warms us, so therefore, it must be possible to convert light into a usable form of energy. Most likely the easiest way to do so would be to use a semiconducting material which would then knock electrons free and that would then generate electricity. It would probably be possible to magnify the light as well to improve the efficiency of the photon to electron transfer. Unfortunately it would require a large surface area and regular sunlight to be able to gather enough energy to be usable in any large scale.

Ninth of March, 2013. At the advice of Miss Dunabe, I have acquired a personal computer and begun to research photovoltaic cells. It is rather unfortunate that I am not the first person to have discovered such things, but in some ways that is advantageous as there is proof that my ideas would work! I thought about this Internet, which seems quite a useful information interchange, but I've come across a potential problem with securing connections between users. As information on the Internet travels across numerous exchanges before it arrives at its eventual destination, it is entirely possible that someone of malicious intent could intercept the information as it passes through his or her connection, and read or modify it to their desires. To combat this, I have thought of a way of securing such information by encrypting it, but using two different combinations of letters and numbers to encrypt it, rather than just one. Then, if one of those strings of letters and numbers was made publicly available, users could encrypt information they are sending to the owner of that public string, and the two strings would be mathematically related in such a way that only the owner of both strings could decrypt the information encoded with the public string. This would mean that many people could send encrypted information securely across numerous interchanges without fear of having the information compromised in some way. I haven't seen the man with an unusual odour in two days now, although I barely noticed, as the days seemed to speed by.

Tenth of March, 2013. I went to church again today, and found the correlations drawn by the minister of the parallels of marriage between a man and a woman and the relationship of Christ and the church to be most intriguing. It's sad that I don't have a wife. I suppose it's because of my lack of intelligence. That's what my mother told me before she died. I haven't seen her in some time now.

Eleventh of March, 2013. I saw Miss Dunabe today. I told her the smelly man had not been around for a while. She said that maybe that would be okay. I don't know why it matters though, and I saw another butterfly today, moving up and down, up and down. It's strange how butterflies move. Rather haphzard. I ate a burger again today and engaged in discorse with the man of Asian decent, although he spoke without a trace of a accent.

Twelfth of March, 2013. I'm missing words. I can't remember that word with the el in it, or maybe it was many ells. It was a nice word to say but its gone. 4.45pm was slow again today. Its been some time since it was slow. Maybe it's a tuesday thing.

Thirteenth March, 2013. Mrs Dunabe didnt smile today, I dont know why. But I smiled when I saw the flutterby even though she didnt and I laughed at how it was funy moving and I didnt eat a burger today but I made some bacon on toast and sleeped.

Fourthenth march 2013 miz Dunabe wasnt at scool today but that was sad because a kid piked on me but at least didnt puke on me but she stops kids form piking on me becuz she sez it is croo ell. El is a nice letter and its drawn big on the scool room next to a bug. I squish bugs with my mop sometimes when im moping.when im moping I go left rite left rite slooowlyyy and the floor gets shinee.

fiftheent march 2013 miss Dunabe was at scool today and she cryed and cryed and I dnt no why and there was no flutterbies becuz it was rainy rainy poor down like her iyz and she had a fone and caled and said something and I herd a man on the fone sound like a smell and she cried more and I felt sad becuz no flutterbi and rain poor down and teers poor down and no burger today and why wont she stop crieng. I want her stop crieng...

time moves so slow

I wrote this for a small writing contest on another SCBW site, and thought I'd share it here. I didn't spend as long on it as I wished and was supposed to do it around 1500 words IIRC so I didn't make it as long as I wanted.

I thought the errors are so blatant that they have to be on purpose like in the book Forrest Gump.

Does no one recognize the story is similar to Flowers for Algernon?

Of course the initial errors are on purpose, then notice in the middle the errors, thought process, and subject matter become more complex, then he deteriorates and returns to a less intelligent state.

After reading the plot of Flowers for Algernon, I suspect it may have been one of the many books I've read when I was younger, and probably I got the idea from that. The name and book cover don't ring a bell though so it must have been a long time ago xD

Blog has so many typos it really irritates me to read it. Unless it was done intentionally, it really demotes the quality of the entire blog. Sorry.
