I didn't wake up with the words in my mouth, yet every time I went to describe something positive last Friday, it was invariably what proceeded forth. In the morning, my toast, "that's awesome." On being asked if I wanted to use the computer "that's awesome." Everything Friday was awesome. To show just how bad it got, I would point to where I commented around the blogosphere. Around half of them, contained those words at some point or other. We're talking typed words and I couldn't stop myself. It was as if I had woken up with the debilitating disease known as "Keanu Mouth."
It's not like this hasn't happened before. I went through a a day awhile back where I couldn't stop saying 'definitely.' I didn't realize it until someone made a comment about my horrible 'Rain Man' impression. I refused to agree to anything the rest of the day so I could stop myself. Course neither of these are anywhere near as bad as the day I couldn't stop saying 'ass.' On that day everyone and everything was an ass. Even the pastor at church was an ass, though thankfully I didn't tell him to his face.
If it weren't for the infrequency I would suggest a form of Tourette's syndrome. But seeing as how it only happens once every few months I know it's nothing like that. Still it is annoying.
7 out of 9 (hey, if I was saying awesome a lot, there must have been good things about the day.)
Anyone else experience days like that?
As someone without very much medical training I would reccommend a swift slap upside your head when your brain gets all glitchy like that. I don't know what that will do for you but I know I will feel better and really, isn't that the important thing here?
ReplyDeleteword verification - upect...did you hear that...UPECT???
Suggestion duly noted, rolled up and tossed in the bin beside me. Soon it shall ride in a truck that will carry it to a dump where it will slowly break down and return to the soil; it's soul jettisoned to the great dirt heap in the sky.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I would do if it was on paper. Since it's electronic I shall try it the next time the situation arises.
Clever (awesome even ...) post.
ReplyDeleteI definitely have days like that.
Definitely, definitely awesome. Yeah, definitely.
(Did you watch The Tick cartoon? I was a big fan of the sewer urchin.)
I loved the Tick. I still quote lines from that show. Sewer Urchin was hysterical. As was the Human Bullet. "Fire me boy!"
