Blog?

This is my first blog entry. In fact, this is my first blog, ever. Well, I was bitching about my days on my website but those days are long over. Firstly, I'm going to start using my punctuation and capitalisation properly. This means using capital letters at the beginning of sentences, peoples names and then proper nouns. Gus does this all the time, even capitalising the names of people who he doesn't like, like Dan (I only mention Gus because he's the first person I'm going to direct to this - in fact had he not been doing a kick ass job of stalking, then this blog may never have existed).
The thing is, I'm still trying to get my head around the apostrophe. In my history essays, the person marking always puts in these apostrophes everywhere. I think I've got the hang of it though, for the whole possession aspect of it. I know how to use it for contracting words, like "don't" and "it's", but the possession one still slips my mind sometime. The cat's slippers. The slippers therefore belong to the cat. The cats' slippers has a different meaning. The slippers therefore belong to the cats. I think I've mastered it.
Well, I'm going to take this new found knowledge and start looking at other people's blogs (did I use that properly? The blogs of other people, not other peoples?) and perhaps steal ideas, lyrics, images. Who knows...
