Perhaps exceptionally boring people prefer adjectives while the most interesting people gravitate towards verbs? The rest of us forgettable mortals end up stuck with passive-aggressive adverb addictions. Facts. We're at our worst when we're heavily intoxicated on witty petards, mixed metaphors, and cloudy antecedents. We never learn, do we? We always end up hungover, sprawled on the ground, and holding tightly to our salted slice of earth... eventually wishing we had stuck to just two or three verbs.
This is my mind on influenza.
