PROFANITY.
External link:
In writing that last post, I was made a little uncomfortable by having to type and publish profanity on my Web site. It's not like I've never sworn before, including in print and on the Web and on stage. But I've really cut down on it, especially in public. What happened was, I used to take classes at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and occasionally perform there in improvised (made up on the spot) student shows there. And I noticed that a lot of the people really swore horribly on stage, even though they didn't necessarily swear that much in real life. It was like they weren't allowed to swear in public their whole lives, and now it was okay, so they became like kids with a new toy. I swore on stage and when practicing when I thought it was appropriate, but I did so no more than I do in real life, and maybe less so. But after watching all this on-stage profanity, I reacted negatively to it, and started making a conscious effort not to swear on stage, which had the immediate and hitherto permanent effect of making me swear a lot less in real life.
