Basically… [Uncat]

Last year Min ruined my life by telling me that “basically”, “essentially”, and their synonymous brethren were big no-nos in the debate world because they’re often used as filler words with little to no meaning. Already sensitive about the fact that I say “like” too much, I now had one more thing to worry about and one more thing to notice in other people’s speech patterns. Thanks Min. It’s like when you realize that you don’t control your blinking, then you take control of it until you forget about it, only I never forget.

I sincerely hope you started controlling your blinking or breathing thanks to this, Min. I know I did writing this.

    I’ll have you know that I do have to control my blinking…otherwise I’d just fall asleep.

      You’re a jerk. I had forgotten about that part of my article and now I’m controlling my blinking again.

      The worst thing is remembering you have to blink when you’re trying to sleep, because you need to do it then too.

        Meh.. I really only blink to fit in. My superior Asian genetics prevents things from getting into my eyes.
