this may surprise several of you, but i swear. i use swear words and i sometimes don't even realize that i do it. and other times i feel like there is no way to better express myself than to use these words. people know what they mean and they know that when i am screaming them, i am very upset.
but today i am turning over a new leaf. i am going to stop. i mean, if i slip up and "accidently" let one slip out, give me a break. this is not a habit that i can break in just a few short days. why can't i break it in a short period of time? well because i have decided that the best way to break my swearing habit is to teach myself new, more intelligent words to replace the lowly words i already know.
so, today (or for the last few days), i have been trying to use this word instead of other, more foul words. (and if you have the same habit i do, i challenge you to join me on my endeavor.)
dolt \'dōlt\ noun
1: a stupid person
i can't even wait to use this word in conversation or in my rage. it will rock.

i also like the word git, which is what the harry potter kids seem to use a lot. it's MY new favorite. here is the definition: "British : a foolish or worthless person"
oh, excellent. another good word. thanks for sharing.
ps. i also love to swear. and you did quite well tonight, my friend. i don't even remember one swear word. but i do remember use of the word dolt. i applaud you.
effing dolt sounds maybe a little more satisfying, yes?
of course it's more satisfying, but i believe our dear rachelle is trying to stay away from the traditional swears. and i think effing has already earned its place as a traditional swear. why? i've heard it on tv and have now, thanks to j.k. rowling, read it in a book.
how is it going? i mean the resolution, of course.
