alicevangelinei keep wanting to post today because i still don't feel great - but because i dont' feel great I don't have anything intelligent to say.
Here's something less intelligent - you know how some brains funciton in pictures and some in words? well, it's a weird thing to think about, but husband says he has to translate his thoughts into words before he speaks.
In my case, two clues I have about this are:
- we've been watching too much Taskmaster (the season with Fern Brady, who is an intelligent woman trapped in a Scottish accent). my ears love the sound of these unique accents and hers is such a unique voice that I occasionally here my thoughts in her voice or in Alex or Greg's voice. Why am I thinking to myself with an accent, i say....
- i have a tendency to spoonerize my words, right? Or should I say woonerize my spords? or worderize my spoons? Anyway, I can't play with it too much because that creates a tendency for it to happen ACCIDENTALLY. Like, now I'm going to have to say that phrase above carefully, if I want to say it correctly. There are some phrases that have been ruined for me by my family because they do this for FUN whereas with me, it just..happens. Especially when there's no default first word (like, bags and boxes - or when I couldn't choose between mostly and mainly).
Anywho the clue is that I can hear myself, in my head, mix up my words. (And possible causes include - brain speed v language speed, adhd ness, too many concussions)
And now, enjoy a current selection of phrases Alice can't say very well:
- Rufus Wainwright. (where are the ws? where are the rs?)
- Ben and Jerry's. (jen and barry's)
- the Plot Thickens (the thought plickens)
- Market Basket (barket masket)
I had better stop thinking about this!
