The Joys of Gibberish

People say I'm very weird; and they are absolutely right. To me being weird is being different, unique and sometimes......very annoyingly so. Sure, I ruffle a few feathers on the way; sure, I make people believe I'm loose in the head. But all this fails to make any difference in my day-to-day dealings with the people around me. One of the few things that people don't really notice, however, is the way I tend not to curse.....or more specifically, curse in the usual swear words. A long time ago, a relative of mine (can't really remember which one, seeing as I have millions of them) told me I shouldn't curse and that it's a bad habit. Any normal person would have not cared and continued, a respectful person would have listened and tried not to. But then, I'm not the avearge person. So what do I do.......I decide to invent my own language just so that I can continue swearing!! This was about 8 years ago. Back then I loved it since it made me feel that I was the only one who could do it and during that time, I made a promise to myself that I would never forget it (Please don't even begin to try and fathom why or how this happened. If I can't explain it....You can't either!!!!). Thus began the origins of something that would make sure I would never be called normal ever again. In an age when people used terms like "Dang it" or "Fish", I went so far as to label both these swear words as "Heftyn" and "China". Now, I can't bear to even spell the common swear words anymore!! Plus, the words in my language keep changing every year or so, so I have a so called "dynamic vocabulary". I admit, it isn't actually insulting to say, "China you!" to anyone. They would most likely just start laughing and call you a nutter. But the good part would be that they would walk away, thus ending what could have become a very nasty fight. And when has making people smile ever been a bad thing? So I'll end the post here so that people can continue calling me weird and I can keep cursing them in my own special little language.

Çiao!!
