Because you're excited, depressed, giddy, insane, whatever! Extra points if people stared!

Feeling:

Musical, happy - "Chk-Chk-Chk-DUNH-Chk-Chk-Chk!" (with dancing)

Embarrassed, guilty, sarcastic - "Well today was a hit."

Panicky and indecisive in video store - "Cmon baby, gimme that newness"

An example of Insane:

I was once taking a streetcar through Chinatown in Toronto. I was feeling a little out of it, and the streetcar was packed with people. I guess my internal monologue got switched to "external", 'cos after catching a glimpse of this bizarrely customized Honda Civic (huge spoiler, ridiculous rims/lo-pros, paintjob, etc) I exclaimed "THAT'S CRAZY! That's just crazy." much to the bemusement of those around me.

First thing in the morning I have very little control over my verbal reactions to annoyances. Thus, when I find that my crazy flatmate has once again moved the bathmat out of the bathroom or flung my towels in a corner, I whisper viciously, "stupid cow" or similar and stomp around moodily. Likewise, when I actually make it out of the door, I have to cross a fairly busy road to get to the bus-stop, and I'm sure everyone already over there really enjoys me yelling, "stop, you fuckers, let me over!" at the traffic. As if the drivers can hear me.

Driving past some cyclists on a road trip in Colorado, yelling "work it! Feel the burn! Master your ass!"

Just before my wife gave birth, we're in the hospital walking up to deliveries. This is 3 o clock in the morning. My head is playing the Fall record I like at that point.

Then I suddenly sing under my breath: "I'm a mummeah!"
Dawn : "Pardon?"
Mark: "nothing."

(I can't resist adding a PS to Markelby. We were driving up a steep hill and Mark failed to realize that the back window was open while he was doing his very loud shouting at the cyclists. Cue sheepishness and my loud laughter.)

I'm working and singing along to Negativland and taking some books outside to put on the sale rack..."COMMUNISM IS GOOOOOD!" Unfortunately, there is a bus stop right outside the store. Everybody stops waiting for the bus and looks at me, because I am the crazy lady at the bus stop. Sigh

to myself, today, walking by Ground Zero and witnessing a girl with a Bush/Cheney campaign hat: "holy fucking shit!"

Having just drunkenly pissed on an alley wall, I look down at my shoes and mutter, "Next time don't stand so close to the fucking wall," just as a posse of women amble by.

I once heard a guy at a barbeque in Dublin, looking absently at the rosy sunset, murmur dreamily to himself: "...vagina-pink clouds..."

In school, bored and staring at the girls in my class: "Mmmm... boobies".

When I was 13 or so I had some Fisher Price tape recorder thing, and one day I decided to record myself saying all the bad words I knew, especially if they were about girls' bits. This I did, behind a closed door, whispering - but somehow my mum heard me and made me wipe the tape "in case your little brother finds it".

Mark, can I use that in a story?

On a flight to Taiwan aged 5, when the plane dipped and I got that funny feeling I exclaimed: "Ooooh! That tickles my rooster!"

"I like bananas okay, but don't you hate how they make your throat swell up and make it difficult to breathe?"

Of course, after the response I got to this, I realized that this is *not* a normal reaction to bananas and that I am -- in fact -- allergic to bananas.

I was at Amoeba and found this Ellen Allien CD I'd been looking for, very cheap and used. for some reason I said "excelsior!" out loud and this girl looked at me funny.

In a politics lesson, rapping the Beasties' 'Eggman' to myself.

Me, slightly louder than necessary: I throw it at a sucker/K-pap

Politics tutor: No, not a kebab, Barima.

Kirsten, sure thing.

Five years old at a playing pool. Little kid wanders over and wants to play. I look at him and shout "WORKTOP, WORKTOP, WORKTOP"
