09/13/2005: "All quiet on the western front (except for the voices in my head)"
Not much going on, countdown to tenure file due date (Thursday) lots of procrastination, reading of blogs, munching of cheesy poofs, and the laying on of the couch...earlier tonight I wrote about fashion wigs and worry over gobs of my hair falling out but then I thought...(though I didn't actually "voice" these words out loud to anyone) "just shut the hell up if you don't have anything meaningful to say"...but then I thought, "shit, if I followed that advice I'd have to quit blogging full stop." but then after that I thought "if you think to yourself in double quotes is that as bad as talking to yourself?"
Speaking of which, is it just me or does anyone else ever accidentally refer to themselves in the plural? (And if you're in an annoying coupleage that doesn't count!)
For example:
Friend 1: I don't like it when Karen ambushes me in the break room.
Me: Yah, we hate that too.
Friend 1: We?
Me: Uh, yah...erm..Eileen and I were just talking about that...Eileen, you know, from accounting.
OR
Friend 2: It really annoys me when DJs talk over the endings of songs on the radio.
Me: That doesn't annoy us as much as most of the music they play.
Friend 2: Us?
Me: Uh, yah...erm..Eileen and I were just talking about that...Eileen, you know, from accounting.
I don't know why I do that sometimes. I don't actually think of myself in the "Queen's We" or the "We are Legion" sense, it just comes out every once in awhile and then I panic and overcompensate. So many scenarios end with me panicking and overcompensating....like this post for example.
I should have listened to that first voice.
