(It has been brought to my attention that I put a period at the end of EVERY blog post title. This goes back to my extreme overuse of periods. It's a problem I need to get worked out. But I really tried to refrain from putting the period after the title of this post. Really, my finger hovered over the key for a good 10 seconds while I had a debate in my mind. I tried to convince myself of the pointlessness of punctuating a title, but my habits got the best of me, and as you can see, it is clearly punctuated. I apologize. Now on to the actual post...)

trickery, ostentatious,

.

I have an affinity for using periods in my writing.

That fabulous little piece of punctuation.

I am typically opposed to using exclamation marks, except on very special occasions, when something is worthy of more excitement than I usually posses towards life. So, moral of that story/tangent: pay close attention when I use exclamation marks.

Back to the real focus of this blog post. I love periods. I daresay the period is my favorite form of punctuation. I will admit that as much as I under-use the exclamation mark, I overuse the period. Though I can't say that this is necessarily a problem. I feel as though short, brief sentences ending in periods get my point across and portray how I speak. My speaking style being succinct, sarcastic, direct, and mildly hilarious. Obviously periods express this perfectly. I'm a fan.
