Hey folks!
I’m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel…aka the editorial piece I’ve been working on is in my editor’s hands. I guess some people forget that I’m a ‘real’ writer.
Whatever…its play time!
Last week I missed my train heading from NYC which was fine; it gave Olga and I time to catch up. Okay, chatted it up in the train station like a couple of hens. Finally my train arrived and it’s packed! I, in my usual patient manner, launched into a full blown rant with Olga giggling in my ear as I staggered my way to a vacant seat and collapsed.
Olga, still giggling, pointed out what’s becoming a widely held truth: When I’m pissed, I revert to my British lingo. Toss out the American speak; toss in bullocks, rubbish, bloody, fuckin’ell, and lazy sod. I draw the line at ‘arse’. She’s not the first person to notice—I catch myself all of the time.
Growing up, we used to tease my mom for speaking German when she was upset, and now we stop Eva from speaking French when she can’t find the proper English term. I guess Brit verbiage is my crutch.
I’m beginning to think this is a trait of polyglots because Momma Ames floats between English and Dutch when talking to Greg. It’s like our brains, tongues, and thoughts are battling one another for dominance!
Anyway, I’ve pledged to rid myself of this useless crutch by the end of the year. So there! Giggle all you want, Olga!
The editorial piece I’ve written is on plagiarism. While researching, I found this post written by Hyperdole...aka Allie which clearly illustrates the stages of emotions one goes through when their work is lifted. Click her name and read her account. Seriously, the girl has problems, LOL! To find Allie's current drawings, click here. Enjoy!
Cheers…I mean goodbye. Fuck!

Ok ... this goal isn't as senseless as trying to give up sex for a week, but I feel the need to point out that your lapsing into British lingo when you get upset is part of what makes you ... well ... you.

LOL! No this a work in progress. Baby steps, you know. Everyone says it makes me who I am but they still laugh when it happens. *smh*

And FYI, I think I like "Touch Wood" over "Knock On Wood". Just saying ... *shrug*

Why do I have this feeling that somehow this goes back to sex?

I wouldn't worry about it. It will be amusing though.
The only reason you think my statement relates back to sex is because you are a dirty bird ... and it does. |

To think there's an island out there where, when women need good luck, they touch wood. mmmmmm

LMFAO! WB, you're mad. An entire island dedicated to 'touching wood'. Yep, that's a good idea.

Yeah, but there's a drawback. Because it's England, it's infested with English Food and Royalty.

LOL! don't feel bad for some reason when i'm pissed I start busting into spanish. I have no idea why I'm not even latin. I have latin friends and I took spanish in school so I guess i've just always been surrounded by it. I'm with the other's where can I get more info on island where I can touch some wood?
