A New Pet Peeve

Posted by Rebecca Tue, 04 Dec 2007 19:53:00 GMT

Have you ever met one of those people who always expresses themselves via quotes?

I don’t mean the occasional “To Be or Not To Be,” or the rare “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.”

I mean a daily, sometimes multiple times a day expression of one’s self via quotes from books, movies, poems, etc.

Do these people have ANY original thoughts? Do thought processes even occur in their heads? Or do they pass themselves off as being intelligent because they have read a lot?

Quite frankly, I don’t want to know what Shakespeare has to say about love, what Morrison has to say about racism, or what Mel Gibson has to say about freedom.

What do you think about all these things?

Do you think about all these things? Do you think about any of them?

I think I just found my new pet peeve.

    Anything can be overused! Are you bored today? I am a little bit, just not very motivated I guess.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist. And yes, it has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
