The Comma
June 15, 2005
There is an inner monologue that is constantly running through my mind. I
believe that many people suffer from the inner monologue, as well as the
external monologue. However, I do not believe that most people suffer in such a
way as I do.
I have been increasingly aware of the nature of my monologues since I started
taking Technical Editing classes in college. This is an actual monologue from
last night, while I was cooking dinner:
"Oh my goodness comma this food smells SOOOOO good. I wonder if Jessica
Simpson needs a live-in cook? If she did comma I would TOTALLY move to LA and
cook for her. And then comma once she tasted the delectable morsels that I
created comma she would open her own restaurant and name me the head chef."
I think this is a rare disorder.
