I find myself addressing friends as 'friend' quite a bit in writing, as well as 'bud', 'pardner', and sometimes even 'cowboy' (or 'cowgirl'). "Tell you what" seems like second nature to me, now. I've become quite conscious of quite frequent use of 'hmmmm' and the less regular 'hunh' in my vocabulary. I sometimes sense Ennis (and less often Jack) in my facial expressions and my demeanor. I could never be half the cowboy of our Wyoming boys, but somehow they live on in me.

I also have adopted beloved expressions learned from our forum here. "Pornstache" is now my preferred term for that hirsute concoction that some men are known to sport on their upper lip (including, at present, yours truly). And I love the endearing way that nakymaton's little boy referred to the BBM soundtrack--"cowboy hat music". I like to think of country-and-Western music that way now.

Peace,

On my camping vacation last week, my friend John couldn't get his propane stove to work. It turned out that the part that connects the propane cylinder to the stove proper was faulty. I was depending on that stove to boil water for morning coffee, so the stove not working was truly "a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation!" And I said as much!

When I'm feeling very Jack, my tongue starts to get very active, sneaking outside my mouth for a little look around, and I can't keep it under control!!

I'm leaving on a trip to Seattle in a few days and was gathering up items from the bathroom.  After unwrapping a new toothbrush I started to drop the wrapper in the trash can, but no liner, so I stuck ther toothbrush into my mouth, just like Ennis did.  It wasn't until I had taken 3 steps that I realized what I had done, and I have NEVER done that before.

I normally don't say the phrase "Tell you what..." Normally I just say "You know what?" or "You know..." Yet today I found myself using that phrase to my mom.

"So Bob's (my stepfather's) complaint about the (Oreo ice cream) cake (from Dairy Queen) wasn't chocolatey enough?"

Mom: Yes.

Me: Tell you what, we'll get him the extra chocolate kind for HIS birthday next February because I believe the Dairy Queen we got this one from is a year-round one!
