I use substitutions, too, except when I'm in a really pissy, pissy mood and it has only happened this year! (And now I got a friend who's calling me a rebel ever since I finally said the F word once. xD).
I... don't necessarily say everything that comes off the top of my head; I usually hesitate when it comes to speaking— both online and in real life. In fact, I tend to worry a lot about what other think about me, but as time passed I've grown less afraid of other people's judgments (although I still fear what people say about me). When I'm around my friends, however, it doesn't matter what I say because I know for a fact that my friend won't mind. As the quote goes, "Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." Nonetheless, don't censor yourself, just be yourself and say whatever you want; I find that it's a perfect strategy to develop the mind. ;)
No, there is more that you can say to me, but its lasting effect will be only to guide me in the right direction. I got to do the walking and make sure I'm on track. And you're welcome. ^^
I don't believe it was a metaphor; I mean, what are you comparing? To me, it's more of a.... enlightening speech/advice? I'm not sure, but I liked how you worded it! ^^

Um.... well, uh..... O///O
....Has it ever crossed your mind what would happen if we were an... item? ^//^ (I'm actually being serious; I've thought about it a few times. My imagination is rather... cute let's say).

Ooh, ooh, watch this video! And when you're done, you could go ahead and watch the mockumentaries (part 1 and part 2)! And guess what? I'm in the videos, too. ^^ (Can you identify me? =3)

Hmm.... Feb. 28 is coming up real soon. Well, then, I just wanted to say that I give my full support to you. =D Good luck on that day!
