CSI

I have noticed that when I spend considerable amounts of time with someone with very characteristic manners or way of speaking, I subconsciously pick it up. It actually hadn't happened in a while until recently. I was telling Josh and Chris about this girl I met, who honestly has the sexiest voice ever. It's sort of low and she has that very peculiar way of pronouncing words extremely distinctively and clearly. And I picked it up... I caught myself a couple of times speaking in the same manner.

You know how they say that if you are in a relationship with somebody, you start picking up stuff from them... opinions, expressions, whatever... It's nothing like that. It's more like putting another personality on, or certain characteristics of it. In a way, it's is like losing or putting away part of myself for a while. I feel like another person. Not that I look, sound like or resembe them in anyway. I feel like them.

The thing is, I hadn't done that in forever... I used to do it in my teen years and then I stopped. I don't know if I became more mature as a personality with lesser tendency to sway away from who I am or I just became less impressionate. Something. At any rate, when I actually realized what was happening, I dropped it. It's sort of fun but I'm too old for this shit.
