Livejournal's verbal tick

[ivyblossom]

For a time, a good friend of mine (ahem, it might be isilya, but I will not use her name in order to protect her anonymity) picked up a verbal tick from someone she knows that had her adding a question mark to every sentence she uttered.

me: How are you today?
friend: Fine? I think?
me: Oh yeah? Rough day?
friend: I can't find my new wireless mouse?

After a time she realized what she was doing and stopped. It was sort of cute.

But it appears that livejournal has the same verbal tick:



Your login cookie seems to have, like, disappeared or something? Could that be? Maybe it was just a server burp? I mean, who knows? Don't blame me, I'm not sure, but some of the folks here have noticed some odd things going on? So just sit tight?

(Er, I wasn't done. I shall use a new icon and look like a different person. You will never catch on, muahaha.)

On a sort of related note, restaurants with punctuation amuse me terribly. Like Pasta? Everytime my friends and I talk about that place, we have to add the verbal intonation and make it sound like English is tonal or something. Or maybe just like we're very unsure about the restaurant.
