Day 2...distracted swearing

Another swear early this morning as part of general conversation, then two more, but they were as part of songs, does that count? Hmmm, I'm going to go with yes, if I'm ever going to properly cut it out.

I think I've realised that almost half of my swears come when I'm thinking rather than saying "em" or just not saying anything at all. So, I shall be thinking more before I talk and not just let my tongue wobble around in my mouth on it's own. Exhibit A; swearing while driving; not because I am annoyed at other drivers but when I have passengers I'm concentrating on trying to drive while holding a conversation, thus, while trying to process thoughts and multitask, a long drawn out swear is a good time filler and brain jog.

I love pople's reactions to my lenten promise. "Giving up swearing?" F***, I couldn't do that or, F*****g H**l! It is almost as if, once people hear that you cannot swear, the feel the need to swear.

I lost count for the day, I think I'm on 6 and it's only 5:30pm... <insert appropriate swear here> That's 7.
