I may never speak again.

I have attempted food. I shall await the outcome.

She passed.

Cool! Shiny new belt!

I'd like to think I have no verbal tic past a couple fillers. I did spend too much time at a few previous jobs saying "Good luck with that!" and "How did that work out for you?" but that was more attitude than tic.

I can't think of any annoying verbal tics that I have. Unless it's my tendency to randomly tell people to go fuck themselves.

But really, I can't think of any.

Wait, I know! I've been told I'm highly annoying when I talk to cats. But only non-cat-people have told me this.

I have plenty of peeves.

My dad has even more. What really sucks is that he gets very angry and enforces those peeves before you even know what it is you've done. Had a moment like that with him today. My eyes started welling up with tears because I realized that this is flashing me back to my childhood and never knowing what it was I was doing "wrong" that was going to get me smacked.

I say groovy all the time. But I actually like the way the kids roll their eyes when I do, so. (My kids, I mean.)

I also say awesome more than any adult person should, I guess.

I think my most egregious verbal tic/habit is swearing. A lot.

Jesse's verbalisms, I hear in my head as Jesse. Ditto with some of Kat's (though I am drawing a blan...OH! "SERIOUSLY?!")

I have a tendency to oddly understate. I use "somewhat" a lot to describe a fucked up situation. My coworkers groan when I use it, knowing it isn't good. And very often, basic descriptions desert me, so I describe things oddly. Like a beadboard panel fell from my neighbor's porch ceiling. When I ran into him (he hadn't been home) I said "So it looks like part of your beadboard.....migrated" (gesturing to the panel on the porch floor. )He said "How very politic a phrasing there!" I swear to god, "fell down" didn't even cross my brain. Weird.

Oooh! Neighbor gossip! He's engaged to the girlfriend I met a few days back. Getting hitched sometime next year.

I think my most egregious verbal tic/habit is swearing. A lot.

Ahahaha! Yeah.

My eyes started welling up with tears because I realized that this is flashing me back to my childhood and never knowing what it was I was doing "wrong" that was going to get me smacked.

Aw, Spidra. I know what that is like. {{}}

I can't think of any annoying tics in anyone's posts. No one here drives me crazy.

Spidra, can you just, like, turn around and leave the room when your dad starts with that shit? Nobody ought to have to put up with that.
