Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wish I hadn't quit piano lessons (or can I blame it on my parents for letting me quit? hmmm) and I really wish we had a piano now. I would love to play now.

Me, too, exactly. I did well, and then I decided I hated it and Mom let me quit. Now I wish I hadn't.

I still startle people with how emphatically I speak--I frequently come off as intimidating

I know that I sometimes come across as intimidating, but I've never really known why. I wonder if this has something to do with it.

I have wanted to do nothing but sleep or stare at telly for three days. I blame the weather.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, I still from time to time read one wedding blog, because it has a lot of posts about married life and life in general. But also wedding stuff, because it's a wedding blog. Only now it's entertaining for me to read, because I don't have to deal with that shit ever again!

Anyway, I was reading a post with questions from readers about picking your bridal party, and one reader wondered if 9 (on just her side) was too many.

The very first comment was "I think nine is a nice number because then they can be your Nazgul."

AWESOME.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You'd be all set for baseball.

Realizing I could have had Nazgul makes me slightly regret not having a wedding party.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My apartment totally smells like pot. What IS Darby getting up to all on her own?

Suddenly her 75% chill/25% paranoid personality is making more sense.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The very first comment was "I think nine is a nice number because then they can be your Nazgul."

I for one endorse replacing "Maid of Honour" with "Witch King of Angmar".

Because books.

Baseball was my thought, too, -t! (I had to look up Nazgul. I await my demerits.)

Suddenly her 75% chill/25% paranoid personality is making more sense.

Maybe she's just holding for someone ...

I just have to figure Gracie was somehow covering for her til now.

I mean, it could be the new downstairs neighbor but that seems a lot less plausible.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm guessing Blood isn't a Goth magazine?

Hematology

I have very crisp and precise diction when I'm speaking on headset, ordering something over the phone, or trying to communicate in a noisy environment. Otherwise my speech is more relaxed.

An extreme version of the cat tree phenomenon is when residents of Kansas City say the name of the city. They typically don't pronounce much more than Cans City.
