My Mouth Censor

I have a lot of faults, but my biggest one is probably my inability to control my mouth.

You might think I suffer from Tourette Syndrome, but I don't- it's just that when something pops into my head, it automatically comes out of my mouth. I think it's gotten worse since I had Spencer, because that was about the same time my communication with adults was reduced by about 75%. When you're around a baby all day, it doesn't really matter what you say, so long as you say it in a loving tone.

I have a couple of friendships where this okay and then I have some where I know I have to put on my filter. I'm not sure which ones are healthier, actually. I don't know if it's better to be completely open, or if you need that voice in your head saying "bleep, don't say that!"

I just started thinking about this because of Facebook, of all things. That ridiculous 25 random things meme that's spreading like wildfire. Every time I write something down I over analyze it and delete it. The censor that doesn't exist in my real life goes into overdrive in my virtual life. It's very annoying to me- just felt like putting that out there.
