curse less

I think I am going to give cursing up for Lent…even though I am not a practicing Catholic I still practice Lent..weird, huh? Some childhood things stick with a person.

I really curse too much, I admit. I guess this goal goes hand-in-hand with “control my temper” because the littlest thing could happen and I begin spewing out a chain of profanities. I do believe there are times when cursing is going to happen, especially it something really upsetting happens, but I definetly need to limit myself to cursing just at those times.
The other day at work a co-worker asked me what religion I was. She was curious, because I use “god damn” and “Jesus Christ” a lot. I’ve never stopped to realize that some of the phrases I say when I am annoyed could potentially offend somebody. Thus, I have decided it’s to cut back on my cursing.

...talking to his girlfriend on the telephone. And before I asked him to move along (it was 1:15 a.m., and I don’t care if it WAS Alumni Weekend, it’s really inconsiderate.) I was eavesdropping…obviously. The young man was cursing a lot, but they were not fighting, and he wasn’t speaking with emphasis, or anything that would warrant cursing. And believe me, I do feel there are plenty of situations that call for it. He was just cursing to curse, and I feel like I do this way more often than I want to anymore.

I will say this: I love to curse. But I also feel that because I love it so much, I should use curse words only when they are warranted so they preserve their definitive emphasis and oomph.

im lookin for sexy gurlz and i jus cus a little bit

I’ll never stop completely, but I’ve cut it down a lot lately.

I can express myself in a more dignified manner.

sooo I used to slip many bad words quite frequently, which got me in hot water with family, work, etc. I just more or less started watching what I was saying and really thinking before I talk and oila!

Yep, I completed this one! I have to admit that if I get really mad or something…a word will slip out. But I hardly ever curse now. It really makes me more lady like too…really worth doing.

I am not doing good with this one. I should watch my mouth

my cursing, not to zero, but pretty low. I still might use “strong” words when something shitty happens, but most of all, every second word isn’t anymore a curse word. _{Well I am a bit overreacting here, it wasn’t that bad}

Anyway, I am happy now :)
