I think my brain's rewired for insanity...

  • Jul. 9th, 2009 at 10:23 PM
goofing off
Me last night: "Yay, I'm getting to bed early! I'll get a full night's sleep! It'll be awesome!"
My brain: "So....is now a bad time to mention these characters I just created for you?"
Crotchety old Gold Dragon: "I for one refuse to sit here in silence."
One-eyed ancient Red Dragon: "And I'm not letting him be in charge!"

...and that's all I can say on that. Why must characters come (literally) roaring to life at the worst times? XP

English and my brain continue to become farther apart as well. I will parrot back a customer's order (for pastries and such) to make sure it's correct. Today a woman came in and asked for "six pink sprinkled Butterspritz cookies." My response? "Spree!" before stopping since I realized as soon as it left my mouth that I had utterly and completely FAILED to say, "six pink sprinkled Butterspritz?"

Oh, the joys...
  • Mood: weird

Oooh, characters for your dragon campaign?

And oddly I've found myself garbling more and more of my sentences lately. Wonder what that's all about.

Yeah, NPCs, anyway. Since a time that worked for the local group never materialized, I'm going to test it the concept on a group of friends via the internet and see how things go. Depending, I might yet have something fun to throw at you guys in the future.

Maybe there's some mass intelligence drain going on... Or my thoughts just go too fast for my mouth to keep up. Whichever.

That sentence can easily qualify as a tongue-twister in my book. :)I tried repeating it a few times before deciding that I will not be working in the English Butterspritz industry anytime soon for the sake of my own sanity. ;P

Spritz are actually a German cookie, so the danger might be much closer than you realize. ^_-

Aww...Don't worry, you're not the only one that happens (and I mean both of those situations.) ^_^

"Spree!"? That's kind of cute, really. How did the customer react? *laugh*

I'm pretty sure she was amused. I was able to successfully repeat back the order on the second try though, but man, what a mouthful!

Spree! I do that too. Sometimes when a person gives me a long list of things I will actually start my sentence with the last ysllable they said for some reason... Or repeat my greeting phrase stupidly.

Bah! Yes! Same here! I hate when I go into auto pilot with a regular and give them the cliché greeting/farewell. The brain will just do whatever it pleases if you let it...
