(62) I talk obnoxiously loud when I get excited. This seems to happen right when I'm sharing something funny and/or inappropriate. I was famous for this when I worked in my first college newsroom (which we called "the dungeon"). My inclination for talking loudly was made problematic by the small room, the fact that the walls made everything echo loudly, the smell of mold that gave us headaches and a staff using QuarkXPress that had no experience using QuarkXPress. I think my freshman year, I was the "annoying guy."I think I've improved a bit. But it's still in my nature.
Example:
Church on Sunday, we had a friend visiting. After taking communion (little cups), my friend says, "Man, was your communion cup full? I had trouble finishing mine."
Me: "Yeah, it was like a double-shot of Jesus."
Heads turned. My wife whacked me in the arm. One parishioner might have shaken their head, praying for my soul.
