I swear to fuckng god

[maderr]

Was feeling lousy, wanted something mindless to read.

Made the stupid mistake of buying Torq's fairytale anthology.

My eyes are bleeding.

But seriously, what the fuck kind of editor considers this a good sentence:

None would dare; my Lord Pavare's blade was so very swift to answer...and a woman with a sharp tongue and a habit of frankness who might feel herself safe if she indulged the latter whilst using the first, was mistaken if she had husband, son, or brother of an age to meet Pavare in the misty dawn -- and be buried before the next sunrise.

Never mind the raging fucking stupidity of the fairytales in general. They're sloppy. No thought was put into any of them. I see nothing creative or impressive or remarkable, and maybe I'm just being a snotty bitch and it's true that since learning of some rather grim family history I'm in a mood most foul - but for fuck's sake rewriting fairytales well isn't hard. I haven't been this disgusted with a book in a long fucking time - and I'm only on page 78/241!

EDIT

I give up. I go to attempt one of my own fairytales, something I'm working on for Nikery. I had no idea it was this easy to fuck up something so simple as a goddamn fairytale.

I tried reading that sentence. My mind died on me before I could finish.

What, precisely, was it trying to say?

Hell if I know.

That the bitch had best keep her mouth shut, ere the men in her family be run through with sword ( or something) before a full day's passing.

I think.

Yeah, that was my take on it. It hurts, though.

......I admire your ability to read gibberish.

Love the icon by the way. I've been guilty of using those phrases in certain assignments. XD

It's a gift. ^_^

Shoot, I'm guilty of using a lot of those phrases. My best essays all made great use of the best bullshit lines.
