It's been 8 months, huh?

Things I've realized about myself in the last 8 months:

I like people who talk fast. The human brain can comprehend 500 words per minute. Keep up.

If I don't know you very well, and you talk too slowly, I probably think you're arrogant, unintelligent and/or boring, so I will interrupt you.

I don't like fragrance or fake smells of any kind. I can't stand it in my laundry detergent, my soap, my lotion, cleaners, candles, perfume etc. When I smell fragrances that do not occur naturally in nature I feel like I'm inhaling poison.

I am not thoughtful. I won't remember your birthday and if I do, I will labor over what to do about it and in the end, I will do nothing and feel very badly about it.

I think mostly in the present. Rarely future, sometimes past. This is why I only know it's someones birthday, some holiday, or it's the first day of the Olympics, on the day they occur.

I can not get out of a grocery store in under an hour.

I will think nothing of spending $7 on bulk sesame seeds but I refuse to spend 25 cents more on a higher quality garbage bag or toilet paper.

I really like to read.

I am not sentimental. I am an anti-hoarder. I could easily toss 50% of the contents of my house with no hesitation.

When given something that does nothing but sits there looking pretty, I feel my heart palpitating b/c I will have to find some other corner of my house to stash this item that I can't eat, read, or wear.

I am very lucky.

I only like to drink water. Sometimes I drink other things because other people seem to think it's fun, but I'm always disappointed. Water is better.

Eating meat is really gross. I will not eat it anymore. Period. I have the book "Eating Animals" to blame for this highfalutin' vegetarianism.

The older I get, the more liberal I become.
