A friend helped me to realize that I was going through a phase of telling everyone, "You ROCK." I just felt I was being appreciative. He pointed that it make me look like a moron. I stopped it.
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

(My sharing my hatred of "anywho" with The Boy has led to him using it as much as possible, to see how long it takes me to go insane. Evil.)
Does he not realize he'll be the one at Ground Zero when you snap?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
"Awesome". That's it. I say "awesome" too much. I sound like a surfer dude.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a problem in that when I saw "Awesome!" I think of Dean Winchester and when I say "Whut?" I think of Gurton Buster. So, me? I'm amused.
To onlookers I probably look really simple.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Perkins, that's awful. I'm so sorry.

Our wings are not tired.
Zenkitty, I do too. And, "you rock".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of overused words/phrases, how am I just now listening to Cee-lo's "Fuck You" for the first time?? I need to listen to this ALL THE TIME.

When does she find out the test results?
ita, she found out that day. She passed. And she already knew the things she was no good at!
Undoubtedly my verbal tics make you all crazy. Like msbelle, I'm sure they are present in my posts. Probably not as irksome as the content of the posts themselves, though.
My favorite verbal tic is to say, "And yet...." whenever a student wants to negotiate with me. The conversations look like this:
Student: "I think my grade should be higher because I did these things you said to do..."
Me: "And yet..."
t insert shrug
It's very satisfying.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's not a verbal tic, that's a parry.
