just...shut...up!

(the framing is awful. when i drink wine...it happens...)

so, do you ever say something that comes out sounding so awful and insane and dysfunctional, and then, when you try to deny it, are all of a sudden like, yeah...can't fight that one, guess it's the truth.

OH! and THEN, when you look at the person you were talking to they're just staring at you--with their jaw dropped to their chest?

no?

well, i did--last night. and, i've done it a few times recently. and, it is for THAT reason, that i've decided to pause for at least 2 complete seconds before speaking, from here on out, forever. it might look strange as i stare blankly at you after you ask me how my day was, but i think it's probably for the better.

the newly enacted two-second rule would have saved a lot of ridicule and embarrassment on my end last night. and maybe i wouldn't feel like such an outsider. *sniff, sniff*

You do not have to use the two second with me, I love u no matter what u say and in more cases I am sure I would agree with whatever statement that offended someone else.

i won't! i promise :)

it wasn't so much of an offensive statement as it was just disturbing...
