Now there's a thought: what if I just slip in such a plethora of polysyllabic utterances that the veritable significance behind this tangential aside is entirely and completely incomprehensible?
Or not. On second thought, let's try some dictation here and I'll just write to you as I talk. This should be interesting to say the least. Oh yeah, I do parenthical asides when speaking aloud. Doesn't everyone? Am I really that strange?
According to my subconscious, no I'm not. A quote from the fantastic Shampoo Planet, by the incredibly gifted Douglas Coupland, has stuck in my mind since I last read that novel, oh, a couple months ago:
I pretend to be more unusual than I actually am for fear that I am a replaceable cog.
Spooky. And now that I've shared that with the internet, I feel it's only fair that Sasha share a secret fear or phobia of her own.
