Woah, did the new semester hit me like a ton of bricks.
I had kept putting off this entry because, after the seething political opinion of my last entry, I wanted to post something...funnier. Because I love making people laugh, goddamnit.
Speaking of cursing, it hit me as I was leaving work around lunchtime Monday.
Well, "it" was a surprisingly strong gust of Oklahoma wind that was much calmer earlier in the morning. I digress, however.
After stepping out of the door and promptly getting my heavy ass nearly blown over sideways, I did what I would normally do: curse in surprise.
I didn't.
Instead I said something that, while stupid and nonsensical, was completely harmless in a G-rated setting. I was honestly perplexed. Small curse words in casual or spontaneous speech is nothing new for me, why would I start substituting now? The more I thought, the more I realized that I had been doing that a lot more as of late.
This demands a thorough investigation...
What I said : Holy sweet potato!
What I meant to say : Holy shit!
Why I was saying it : Because a big honkin' gust of wind nearly knocked me on my ass.
While I am usually very good at not cussing in formal speech or when talking in inappropriate environments for such spice, I've never self censored while in the explitive before.
Am I maturing? Finally, after all this time, am I realizing that all of my problems can be solved by conforming to societal expectations and bleating like a good little sheep?
Shit. I hope not.
