I am sorry/The Witch is alive!

I spend a lot of time saying I am sorry. I say sorry for things that I am not sorry about. I say sorry for things I have no control over. I say sorry in places that don't require sorry. I don't like being sorry all of the time, and I am sorry about that. I am not sure where I got the idea to apologize for everything, but I fight to not say it so much. Sometimes it is my way of saying, "I sympathize." Sometimes it is just me apologizing for something that I don't have any part in, and those are the ones I hate the most. It is as annoying to me as "um" is to some of you. I say it without thinking so much that I wonder if I am really sorry, or just have good reflexes.

Does anyone else suffer from similar annoying habits? Feel free to tell on yourself.

***Overheard leaving Wicked***

As Kirsten and I were leaving Wicked, I heard a young boy (not older than 7) saying, "She's alive! The movie makes you think she died, but she has been alive the whole time. She's alive!"

I just thought it cute how the boy was not only amazed at the Witch's ability to survive, but how the musical had converted him into her camp. (Not to ruin it, but the "not so" wicked Witch is alive)

Oh my gosh, Jon. It's like we've been leading parallel lives. I'm always getting in trouble for saying "I'm sorry"-- especially when I don't have anything to be sorry about. It's such a bad habbit. It's also one I like to think I've gotten better about, but most likely I'm just kidding myself. Sorry.

By the way, how did the witch survive? Is she a character we should sympathize with? because I'm all on board with the idea that the witch is still alive . . .

JJ, I'll tell you about the witch tomorrow.

I say sorry a lot too, but I also say "um," which I despise. I also hate when people say "like" every other word. A few times is normal, but if you can't complete a sentence without saying it at least 3 times, you have a problem.

Mark says that I have a problem with "like." I don't ever hear it. I used to say that I was sorry all of the time, but then I felt like I was faking the funk because I wasn't really sorry. So, I weaned myself off of saying it and now I don't anymore, and I am not sorry I stopped saying that I am sorry.
