Hanging out with Sis was good for my cursing.

I have gotten out of practice at making the sort of curse that makes people giggle and wince at the same time.

Some years ago, I'd gotten very mad at Dell's customer service representatives, and more angry at their phone system -- the phone system that, every thirty seconds out of a half-hour hold, would thank me for my patience at staying on the line. I do believe that it would ring, then thank me for my dwindling patience.

silmarian giggle and wince at once.

I need to get back into the habit of cursing well.

I go for the old standbye's. Fuck. Damn. Shit.

There is really no permutation of the three that cannot get the point across.

Ah, but it's so much more *impressive* if you're in the habit of being able to say things like, "Your mother was a whore and your father a scorpion; how else could you sting as you screwed yourself?" Or when bitching at a computer, one would say, "May you be scoured to your basest components and scattered upon the desert sands!"

That and it makes passers-by spit out soda at random intervals. ::evil grin::

That doesn't hurt either.
