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.
Wesley: We're going to bring Angelus in alive. Connor: No we're not. Gunn: I thought you said capturing him wasn't an option. Wesley: Changed my mind. Connor: Change it back.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
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.

Because books.
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.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have all the common ones, I think. You know, like, awesome and dude and whatever. Totally verbal tic city.

Amazing. I don't think I ever use that word, but everyone on tv seems to use it as the go-to word. I think I'm developing a peeve.

Something I have been saying lately to end trailed off sentences is "...and the what-nots."
