#$@%&*

So... I have a swearing problem.
There. I said it.

No but seriously.... there was a time, not that long ago, when I would tattle-tell on the neighbor boys for using the h-word.
Now, many "swear words" are apart of my vocabulary. I can't pin-point when it happened. But somehow, I became a full-fledged "swear word user".

I'm not proud of it. I don't think it makes me more appealing in anyway. I know it doesn't. In no group of people (that I have ever associated with) is it attractive for a girl to swear. And being one who cares so much about appearance and approval, it makes absolutely no sense that I ever developed such a habit.

So... that is why I made myself a new resolution. I have decided to quit swearing. So far, all I have to say is, it is much easier said than done. But I am taking my goal very seriously, and I am doing pretty good. I've designated two substitute words to fall back on; Stink, and Curses.
ie.
CURSES! I forgot my homework.
I am so stinking angry.
That girl is such a stinker.
Oh stink!
Stinking Curse!
Stinking stink!
Cursing Curse!
(etc.)


So.... that's that. Wish me luck.
