hi all :D
i've been commanded, as an emailslave, to be unable to cuss, i can't say any words that i would normally say as explicatives and stuff like that. i gotta replace them with stuff like 'ooh, goodness me' and 'fizzle' and silly things like that.
tonight i had a family members over at my house for dinner. as the night progressed i, naturally :P, engaged in conversation with them. but i didn't notice until about half way through that i wasn't saying any 'rude' words. i was replacing them with words like 'oh goodness me' 'oh my God!' 'what the fizzle?'. i felt really bad. here i was, embarrasing myself infront of my family by saying really stupid phrases instead of the normal reaction that we all have to certain situations.
ironically, i think that it has helped me to be more polite this evening :D. i'm sort of happy with this because usually i have a very uhm...extensive vocabulary of explicatives, and now i cannot use any of them. i've had to think about my responses to the topics that i have discussed (even if they are boring) and i feel that i've had more in-depth conversations than usual.
but now i feel that i might simply be replacing the usual rude words with other, ruder words. i'm afraid that eventually i'll run out of words to replace other words.
this whole experience has made me feel a little bit girly actually. i've been acting a bit weird around my family in a manner which might make them think i'm gay...and i love it! i like this silent self-humilation that i've been able to get from this experience and i feel embarrassed. i want more!
:D xx
