Day 18

I've been really busy the last few days. I've been key mashing all day. Suprised my fingers aren't stumps. (I got this expression from a game, and I found it really funny, so I wrote it down and used it here. What do you think of it?)
I ordered a few packs of tortillas and a bottle of tonkatsu sauce online. I'm going to make pork wraps for lunch every day. I'll try it out and maybe write a recipe for you guys!

Feedback

Great expression! Corrected a typo ("surprised" is a tough word, a lot of native speakers spell it wrong too.)

Thank you for catching that typo! Have a wonderful weekend!

I've been key mashingpounding the keys all day.

I had to look up "key mashing." I think you mean something like "typing furiously"? Using your keyboard to write quickly?

I saw that "key mashing" and several similar phrases mean typing a bunch of random letters. I'm pretty sure you didn't do that all day!

"Pounding the keys" and "hammering the keys" can mean typing furiously.

Feedback

Grammatically, this is perfect.

I love the expression you learned and incorporated.

I need to clarify "perfect" after reading the feedback from hrenee15. The reason I say it is perfect is because it has such a strong "voice." That means it sounds like you. This piece of writing is informal, fun, and something I can imagine being shared among friends. It's not supposed to sound like textbook English, it's supposed to sound like you.

Thank you! I want to befriend everyone here, and I don't want my writing to be boring or tedious. I encountered this problem when I revised writings in my native language. People tend to write in prose, trying to describe a beautiful scene or something, but with so many mistakes that it becomes hard to figure out the original meaning. I mean, there's nothing wrong with the form or the intention to write prose, but it just doesn't seem very interesting.

Key mashing = typing a bunch of random letters
Okay, I get it! Guess I shouldn't use that phrase here. Of course, I wasn't just randomly tapping on the keyboard all day long! XD

I've been key -mashing all day.

I believe you put a hyphen here, but I could be wrong.
