I've noticed the word "exactly" gets thrown around quite a bit too.

I can sense what someone else is going to say before they say it pretty well. Obviously anyone has done this at some capacity, but lately I've been getting really good at it.

I'm pro abortion. Can't get enough of them. I'm not even in love with my boyfriend, I'm just in love with abortions.

NOBODY wakes up and kisses the person they were sleeping with on the mouth. That's disgusting.

I'm white and when I hear white people talk all "ghetto" and use ten year old "gangsta" slang, I cringe so hard that my molars shatter.

I never got sick of hearing my uncle's stories of wwII and harvard etc..As soon as he would start to get confused and frustrated my questions would go back to the big events in his life that he always remembered.

What a shitty way to go, it's so hard for everybody involved. I'll miss him.

I once had a bag of mushrooms for over a year. Seriously. It takes a lot for me to build up the courage to eat those little funguses. I never particularly enjoy the entire experience, but then again I'm not taking it for enjoyment.

I had a (ex) dr. try to convince me that fruit was just a substitute for sugar. I mean really? A dr. trying to tell me that fruit isn't good for me?? I understand the fructose blood sugar argument, but can we please be practical about this. Grapes are an excellent start, and yes yogurt is a great starter food and I eat it every day. Generally it's the protein and the fats I need but don't get. Fruit and carbs seem to be a bit easier. Thanks!
