            A right word is gravel. Gravel is fabulous, magnificent, fun to say, and makes my brain feel good, practically giving me a good physical sensation as well. Crumbly is another good word, especially when compared with the last name of my friend Wes.

Crumbly Baumgartner. Say it out loud. No, seriously, do it. Tell me that

It's fun, innit?
Even for me...

For example, when speaking to people-whether I know them or not-I often default to giving them honorifics, like Captain, or Sergeant, or Admiral, or Doctor, and so on.

or "hermaphrodite" ; )

oops. that was me ... though hopefully you don't go around questioning the gender of too many random people.

[benchilada]

Only you, you penisgina wielding freak.

I repeat:

ROMULAN WARCRAFT

Especially the ROMULAN... it just rolls through your mouth.

...

And you can always call me "dear". ;-)

[benchilada]

Holy shit.
Romulan Warcraft is awesome.
Which is odd, as I usually don't like soft r's, Dear.

My aunt uses McGee as a term of endearment, too -- I've got no clue where that comes from.

Like all good things, from me.

First of all, I love reading your posts because they are entertaining.
Second, thanks for your open-ness about your brain :) as a social worker, I am learning a great deal from you!

Now for my question: The only times I have met you was at Friday night game so I'm wondering - while role playing does your Tourette's go in check or function as normal? (along the lines of stutterers don't stutter while singing)

[benchilada]

Well, it often depends on how deeply in-character I get that night, but it is often subdued, and occasionally disappears entirely.

To me, roleplaying is like acting, and when doing either my brain often kicks my Tourette's around. THis will sometimes happen when I'm writing, as well.

It's one of the things that baffles neurologists, how Tourette's can take a back seat when people are doing their job/something they love.

I've read about professional basketball players and brain surgeons with Tourette's...
