Dream
Last night, I had an entire dream about how I say "melk" and "pen" instead of "milk" and "pin".
This is something I've been obsessing over since I read this blog post. If I remember right, part of the point of that post is that we're unaware of our linguistic quirks, and for years, I've had the impression that I'm linguistically boring, other than, possibly, what he refers to as "creaky voice".
But now I'm not so sure.
It's a stupid thing to obsess over, and I'm assuming it's standing in for the general fear of not being fully self aware.
I always tell my friends to tell me if something I'm doing bugs them. Sometimes, they take me up on that. (Sometimes after I've been doing said thing for quite a while, however. ~>:( ) It inevitably throws me, because I'm proud of my self-awareness, and we all know what pride does...
