to capitalize or not to capitalize

someone recently pointed out to me that, in my previous life and my previous blog, i was all about using nothing but lower case letters, eschewing proper capitalization rules for the ease and irony of being e.e. cummings-esque.

when i started designing this new blog, i didn't really give much thought to it one way or another.  because a lot of my time has been spent on ravelry forums and since i belong to multiple groups there and it would've been a major hassle explaining my seemingly improper conventions usage to each and every single group, i just fell into the habit of being normal and traditional.

but then, thanks to good ol' steph, i was reminded that i would be untrue to my online persona if i fell in with the status quo.  and it really *is* easier and faster for me to type sans caps.

and so, gentle reader, i hope i do not offend if i revert back to my old, tried-and-true ways.  i shall try to keep everything else correct and proper (grammar, spelling, sentence construction, etc.) so you know that the lack of capitalization is an ironic choice and not an act of ignorance.

in honor of this post, how about one of my favorite e.e. cummings poems?


maggie and milly and molly and may
by E. E. Cummings

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

for whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea
