I just looked over my con report and I have a new resolution. From now on, I will do my very best to use the words awesome, totally, and cool no more than once per post, and never in combination. I am not a ninja turtle.

Yes, but not only does my vocabularly go minimalistic, it retreats to silly 1980's teenage slang. Why???? I'm sure there are plenty of other people who grew up in the late 80s and yet do not say "awesome" as every other word when they're excited. At least I don't say "bodacious" or "tubular" or whatever else the turtles used to say. ;)

Maybe the brain acts regressive when floated with too much endorphine, because I have the same problem (and was a teenager in the late 1980's myself :)). Naturally, I use the german "fashion-words" of that time, which sound a lot more stupid than the english ones, believe me.
Every time I try to compliment a person who impresses me, I want to smack myself afterwards. :o)
