Totally verbal tic city.
"Totally" is one of mine, though I think shrift gets it worse than you guys do. And definitely. And starting my sentences with so.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Because books.
I use ellipses too much when I post. Even I know this. But I don't really care, because I like my little trio of dots.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm incredibly ticcy. And judgy. And prone to gratuituously ending things with "y".

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think I use too many qualifiers. Like "I think", and "pretty much", and "sort of". As if I'm afraid my opinion will annoy someone, so I throw in qualifiers to dampen the effect somehow.

Compassionately intolerant
I use ellipses too much when I post.
Oh man. I am the most unrepentant ellipses abuser around. All. Day. Long.
Knowing how wrong it is, I still write like I speak...pauses and all.
eta: I also begin far too many sentences with And.
And, I'll start a statement with "I don't want to be harsh but...no wait, that's not true, I DO want to be harsh because..." No one has ever suggested that is annoying, but I bet it really is.

ooh, I love the little dots. I use them all the time. I just edit them out before I post/hit send. Maybe I'll lose those wimpy qualifiers and use my darling ellipses without shame...

Oh, I have plenty of others.
So tomorrow is the last night at my pool FOR A WEEK. Expect a week of pissyness as I'll have to drive to one seven miles away. In traffic. During the first week of school. Oy. I may shift MK's shots up to 8 pm.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Zenkitty, I speak back a bit. As calmly as I can (because not being calm makes it escalate). But there's a limit to how much I can tell him he's being unreasonable when I'm living under his roof. Need to figure out a way to get out of here.
Thanks, bonny. :)
I'm annoyed with my own overuse of "awesome" and "epic". Saw them online too much and now they've pushed out the words I would have used before. Pushed them so far I have a hard time remembering what I would have used before.
Most of the verbal phrase peeves upthread don't bug me. One that does is "totes".

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Skipping to the end...
Tom Hardy, princess
Tom Hardy, animorph
Tom Hardy, uh, hat model
JUST FOR ME. Fuck the hat, chuck the dog, marry the princess. Also, in the other one, I would F Enver, C Misha, and M Tom. For lo, I am craxy.
My habitual use of ellipses is actually in my OKC profile.
