Obscenities
Warning: obscenities below...
Lately I've taken to swearing. It used to be just for comic effect, but now it's becoming totally casual. I think I said (or thought) "damn" approximately 27 times today. I said "shit" a couple times, and even wrote it on IM. I called a fellow driver an "asshole" and asked him what the hell he thought he was doing. I've started writing "WTF?" (and thinking it - and not just the acronym).
I don't know if I want to swear. I keep thinking I should learn to control what comes out of my mouth, but I kinda like cussing.
Sometimes people use swears because they can't think of anything more intelligent to say, but we all know that I have a good vocabulary. Really, I'm just not practicing word discrimination anymore. I mean, if the word fits in a certain situation, why not use it? Sometimes someone who tries to turn left without getting into the left-hand turn lane really is an asshole who needs to take some damn driving lessons. I mean, WTF? Just because you're from Arizona and you're old doesn't mean you can be a shitty driver when you come to Logan for Summer Citizens Camp. My hell!
Okay, so this is still pretty comic to me. I'm totally sitting here chuckling, thinking of all 2 people that might read this who know that I really can't pull off casual swearing. I'm too conscious of it.
