So, yesterday I went out with my fabulous friend Christine to talk about our radio show. We are planning to do a radio show together beginning in January (I will share more details as the date draws near:)). Anyway, we were sitting there brain storming all sorts of cool topics to explore on the show when all of a sudden Christine says:
Christine: “Hey Lynne. You know you can’t say fuck on the radio.”
Me: “Did I just say fuck?”
Christine: “Yep, you did!”
Me “Oh shit…that’s really bad…and I didn’t even know that I had said it.”
Okay. So for those of you who know me personally, you know that I LOVE to swear. I don’t swear at people…I use swearing more as an emphatic description. Though I have sworn at my TV this past couple of years…most times when I saw Bush open his mouth or towards that crazy Sarah Palin chick. Yep. Okay…so I do direct my swearing sometimes at objects in my TV!
Well, Christine is right. I can not swear on the radio. And since it seems like I am not always aware that I am swearing….it’s going to have to stop. So no more “fuck” and no more “shit”.
Maybe that is too severe.
Maybe I can use the words once in a while in my blog posts. Hmmmmmm…I don’t know if I can stop cold turkey!
Hmmmmm….
Okay. I’ve got it. I am going to stop swearing for the next 2 months and see how it goes. With the idea that if I can stop the terrets sort of swearing that I got goin on…then I can use swear words once in a while…kinda like puttin sprinkles on a cake. You don’t always need sprinkles…but, sometimes they look so perty!
So, as of this moment…no more swearing for me!
Done!
Shit, I am depressed.
Oops.
I said “shit”
I am going to stop….NOW!
I just re read this post and now I feel sorta sad and forlorn.
You see…I love words.
I love swear words…not all of them…just a few choice ones.
I also love making up words. I think that I will need to do more of that to get me through this difficult time.
I am not good at giving up something out of obligation.
Ah well…I don’t have to give them up forever….
So sad…
So sad…
Bye for now.

Hey, maybe you can find substitute words. I’m in the habit of saying “crap” a lot. Crap is the jeans in my wardrobe. Then shit is my pair of khakis and fuck the dress pants, which only comes out on special occasions. I like to accessorize, too. I prefer Dickwad over asshole for annoying motorists, for example.
Um, okay, before this comment degenerates further, let me just say, “Good luck.”

Love your description of your swearing wardrobe:)
