My flat mate pointed out that I have started adding "As it were" to most sentences. Its quite annoying trying to not say it now, but it reminded me of the days where everyone used to add "like" at the start of sentences.
Has anyone else had any funny words that they found or have been pointed out to say a lot?
I wonder why a group or a word can get so ingrained in ones head?
In other news I feel a little stuck and lost. I have had a week of no work (though there should be some more by the coming wednesday) and I haven't really found the energy to meet up with people or do much with my spare time except sleep. I really don't want to get back into my terrible habit of sleeping most of the day and waking up in the evening.
I'm a little stuck with my creative side as well, which isn't helping. I haven't really taken a picture in awhile, I can't think of anything to paint, and I feel a little stuck on my Ukulele (I can play a few songs OK, but not well, and some of the more complicated ones are starting to frustrate me).
I had a very vivid and pleasent dream last night. I dreamt I met someone who I had an increadibley deep conversation with. But she ran and I became quite worried somthing awful had happened to her as when I last saw her she looked a little off the rails and a bit opressed by people (It was more of a feeling than something I saw, you know how dreams can be). I set out to find this person and got my closest friends involved. We looked all over a section of countryside that was pretty similar to where my parents live except it had a giant underground/metal works at the top of a hill. For awhile we though she was dead, but I found a message on couchsurfing asking for some advice on some things I had also previously struggled with. In the end we did find her and we all had a long talk, I held her hand and petted it whilst my friends told stories of hardship and recompense. Then I woke up and things just weren't as pleasant...
I will often become fixated on a word, especially new ones, I won't add them commonplace into my sentences but whilst doing other things I will repeat a word or phrase to myself, rolling it over my tongue in different ways to appreciate it - other people hum, I repeat words. Today it was "luxurious".
ReplyDeletePerhaps a photo safari is what you need? It'll get you out and about, hopefully with a friend, which is always good fun and might get your creative juices flowing.

I still use 'like' like all the time. And 'actually' too, actually.
ReplyDeleteI did notice the 'as it were', as it were.
Stocker, how do you mean a photo safari? I'm curious about this now.
ReplyDeleteTasha, FACT!
