Ella Exclamation Post 3

Lights! Punctuation! Action! Hey, everybody it's Ella Exclamation. Okay, now I have told all about me and the boring rule thing. It is time for the part about my goals in life, my family, my friends, my not so much friends, how people feel about me, and where I would like my life to go. My goal in life is to be exciting. Oh, and maybe I can figure out a way to go sky diving because humans always seem to talk about it. If only it was made for exclamations. I come from a long line of very prestigious and excitable exclamations. I'm actually a friendly and excitable exclamation and I was never the favorite of my parents. Especially, after that stunt I pulled when my bottom half came off. They were kind of mad at me for doing that, but after everybody started following the trend I supposedly set, they forgave me. My friends are question marks, and of course my fellow exclamation points. One of my close friends is Keastner Question. My not so much friends are periods and commas. They are just so boring. I don't know how they can stand themselves. The rest of the punctuations are okay. I think most punctuations like me, except for the ones that I don't like. For my life I just want to have the most exciting one a punctuation can have, but also teach people about me too. It's Halloween and if you think punctuations don't party, they do, so I have to go and get dressed up as a human, which is what I am for Halloween this year. Ta ta for now and happy Halloween!

Ella Exclamation Post 2

Hi everybody. It's Ella Exclamation again. The last time I posted I gave you the inside scoop to my life, and I also added in the awesome little story about why I look like I do. Just to give you a heads up, this might be a little boring because I'm going to tell you the rules of my job and life. This is going to be hard for me because as you know from my little story, I'm almost of no use when I'm bored. Anyways, here comes the boring part, and I will do my best to make it exciting.
The rules of my life and job are pretty simple and that's why they work for me. Rule number one is that I always follow an exclamatory sentence. Rule number two is that I never go at the end of a declarative sentence, or in other words, a statement. For example, I wouldn't go after a sentence like this, "I am going to the store." I'm sorry, but really that sentence is just not exciting enough for me. Rule number three is that if it is a question forget about putting me at the end of it, because no question is really all that exciting. A question mark may sort of look like me, but if you would please notice, I don't have a big half loop for my head. Rule number four is the simplest of them all. All you have to remember is that I don't belong anywhere in an abbreviation. For example, please tell me you would put me anywhere in M.E. Gadski's name. If you ever thought of doing that, I'm a little worried. The fifth and final rule is that if you are making a request, you don't put me at the end of it because a request is a request, and there is nothing exciting about that. That feels good to have all that out there and over with. I promise I won't make you go through the torture of having to read all the rules again. It gives me the chills just thinking about putting you through that again, not to mention myself. It is scary to think about. Wow! Where did the time go? Yikes! I am going to be late for a very important date. If you had read a little into those awesome words, you probably came to the conclusion that I have to go, which I do, so goodbye for now.

Ella Exclamation Post 1


I am Ella Exclamation. As you can probably tell from my last name, I am an exclamation point. I am a strait line and have a dot underneath me. It is kind of a funny story as to how I came to look and describe what I do. One day when I was still just a strait line being put on a page to describe exciting sentences, I became bored. When you become bored and you are an exclamation point, it is not good. You don't feel like you are fulfilling your work, so I started bouncing up and down. Then suddenly my bottom half, or I guess you would call it a foot, became stuck on a letter in the sentence below me. I pulled and pulled, until it came free. It was not in the way I expected, though. When I looked down my bottom half was just below me again, but there was a little space between me and my bottom half. I was horrified and excited at the same time. I started to move to see if I still could, and it worked. After that, my bottom half would never reattach, but I became fond of my look.
I am a very excitable punctuation and I can't stand being bored as you can probably tell from the story above. I am a hyperactive, sometimes annoying, but dependable punctuation, unless you place me in a sentences not worthy of one so energetic. I do have some personality problems though. My problem is having a split personality. One minute I'm like a cute and excitable little puppy. The next though, I can be like an excitable and ferocious bull dog. I'm like this because sometimes a writer is writing a sentence that is supposed to be said in a mean and excited way, while at other times I am supposed to describe a happy and excited sentence. It is so confusing and gives me problems with my personality. Anyway that is a view of most of my life served up on a platter, waiting to be exclaimed over about how amazing it is.
