Galluping along

[vvvexation]

Apparently I'm starting to get used to the idea that a fair number of the idle questions I've had rattling around in my head for years can be answered with LJ polls. (Well, answered to a first approximation anyway, which is more than enough given how much real effort I'm willing to put in.) Now I just have to try and remember all of them before my paid time runs out.

This one's anonymous (well, as anonymous as it gets) because it's slightly more personal than the last one--unlikely as it is that my usual audience would care about that. And I vigorously deny that all of my burning questions have a common theme. It's just that the more interesting ones do.

Hey, a definition question.

How do you count it, if you call the beloved's name repeatedly, sometimes loudly, next thing to involuntarily? (That is, it would be possible to stop, but with a great effort that's the last thing one would want to do...)?

I score that as, "Are you kidding?...". But it is a verbal utterance with a definite meaning.

(I can't split hairs in the middle of an orgasm, but I can right now. What conclusion can be drawn?)

Hmmm. You know, I'm not sure how to count that. I guess if I had the poll to do over again, I'd add a fourth answer: "I verbalize involuntarily but have no conscious control over it." Meanwhile, I guess the option you picked comes closest.
