My lungs hate me!  It's like my body is in a constant state of rebellion.  PLEASE STOP.

Keep wanting to say that x thing is "so brill."  Have no idea why my brain has suddenly been hijacked by an ancient British slang term.  Is it less lame that Americans never really caught on to it?  It's new to us, really!  Brill!

Also, am oddly hypnotized by Gerard Way's mouth.

plz snd help kthnx.

Having grown up on British TV (which also kind of wrecked my speech patterns, I think possibly contributing to my occasional stutter, as I hear things in my head differently than they start to come out of my mouth), I've picked up on a few British phrases and expressions, too. "Brilliant" is one, and while it's not chiefly UK, they tend to use it in place of "wow" more than we do. There are a few others. "Bloody" is not one of them.

And I almost always hear the letter "Z" in my head as "zed," something that comes up more often in my life than the average person's, working in libraries like I do.

Hi, I'm weird, too.
