I have come to terms with that fact that I have a terrible problem. I have fallen into the trap of the Valley Girl. My daily language (when I'm not preforming) includes the word "like" after almost every third word. My AP English Literature teacher pointed this out the first day in his class. Not only was I mortified to find this out, apparently it was well known I spoke like this and everyone had been making fun of it since freshman year.
I turned around to ask one of my closer friends, Marie-Charlotte, why she never bothered to tell me I had such an annoying habit. She replied, "I thought you knew. That's just the way you talk." As though it was no big deal. As though talking like an air head was exactly the image of myself I wanted to convey.
I shall certainly be spending more time on my speech.
