what a gift it is to be able to speak? i really never have. i take for granted my ability to thoughtlessly blab noise into the ether without caring who hears me. well, the past few days, i've had laryngitis and let me tell you - it's changed my life.
shh.
even as someone who isn't really long winded in the first place, being unable to talk has been totally displacing. i can only whisper, and it's tiring. so i choose my words even more carefully than normal.
people look at me condescendingly.
i used sign language with the receptionist at the doctor's office.
i left my phone at home all day. i mean, what was the point?
this just may be the cold medicine talking, but i'm really going to think twice about the noise i put out into the universe from now on. i'm kind of, you know, bitchy. i might need to curb that a little. i'm not saying i'm going to quit making fun of reality tv stars, but i am going to try to be nicer.
please hold me to this.

Holly. Please tell me this isn't so.
So THAT's whats dfferent about you!!!
naw, i keed. But i do like the 30 year old smoker voice. and the raspy laugh just a few cubicles away.
congrats on your first blog swear word (i think it's the first)
you sound great. i'm very entertained...
ohhh that sounds like a very interesting goal. i think it's a good idea, personally.
i hope you're feeling better, holls!
You are hardly bitchy. If so, you are the nicest bitch I know! You make bitchy look good. I am wondering how many times I can say the word bitch/bitchy here.
In all honesty, I hope you are feeling better soon, I happen to think very highly of all your vocal advice and skills, in general and overall.
i like your style of bitchiness. it's fun! there are a few people's styles of it i could certainly do without. you are not one of them.
