Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Much health-ma to Perkins and Drew. I'm glad they caught that early, Perkins. I hope they figure out what the deal is, ND.
My biggest written tic is "Anyway..." as a transition or to bring a subject to a close. I have to watch out that I don't use it a bunch of times in the same piece of writing (generally email). I suspect I do it verbally as well, but I haven't paid close enought attention to know for sure.
I also tend to use "wicked" in the New England sense of the word.

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
It's way catchy, but lords I get twitchy listening to songs about how women are just horrible for not being with the narrator.
It really seems to me like just the one woman is terrible. And the guy she's with. He's singing it to both of them. It would be hard to write anything if we couldn't criticize one person without it being extrapolated to the entire gender.
Here's the Cee-Lo song I'm in love with and not only because my friend Rob wrote it and is now getting a decade-and-a-half's worth of "overnight" success. What Part of Forever.
Rob is doing the whistling. When Cee-Lo played it on Leno I cried hearing the whistling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm driving away from this house as an inhabitant for the last time today. New house ahoy! Meep.
Woo hoo!! Good luck!

Because books.
I probably have to get off the interwebs to actually, you know, drive away, though, huh?

I got that it was about a specific woman. It just strikes me as so much whingeing about "stuck up bitches and the jerks they inevitably like more than me." Still, it's got a beat and you can dance to it.

Hey, msbelle, when is bulk trash pick up day in your hood? It's usually worth finding out because better than garage sale-ing is curb-sale-ing.
