sounds
i was thinking out loud the other day, and said, 'that's what i'll do.' now, not to say that i'm a geek or anything, but suddenly i stopped, and said it faster, 'that's what i'll do,' and thought, 'wow. what odd sounds. who decided that those sounds should make words? and who decided what they mean? ''that's what i'll do" - what an odd thing to say.'

i do that with written language sometimes. once in a while - usually when i'm tired - the letters just look like random marks and i wonder who decided they should be letters and how to put them together to make words.
I think that happens to everyone once in a while, but it sure is funny to post about it! :) (and yeah, it especially happens more when I'm tired -- and then I just keep giggling & saying it over & over:)
And "that's what I'll do" is a great example of this phenomenon... it suddenly sounds really funny to me too! :) I think if I spoke a different native language, I'd probably laugh at how that phrase sounded. :)
i'm glad i'm not the only nerd ;)
You are too cute. Its good to talk to yourself every once in while. That way you make certain you're listening. Plus, you know at least one person is.
but i love how she says "thinking out loud" instead of admitting she was talking to herself
:P
and yeah, it is the only way to guarantee that someone is listening
God's always listening! ;)
ooh - mom made it even better today. after i said this to her she said, 'what'll i do?'
It sounds like it could make a good song or poem or "who's on first"-type thing or something ;)
