I used to like breakfast the best, but I've found that I don't like most vegan breakfast foods.
Now, I look forward to dinner. I like savory foods. |

| I'm a linguistics major, and as part of a seminar course, I'm transcribing recordings of my class with the International Phonetic Alphabet. This has given me an interesting opportunity to listen to myself interacting with others, and to compare my social contributions to those of my peers. Tonight I... |

| I guess I do. I never feel like I'm being snippy or mean, but my SO says that I make fun of him when we're in a group together. It makes me feel awful afterward, because it isn't intentional. For me, some of this is a result of upbringing, though. My entire family is of the brutally honest sort; all... |

| I didn't remember this until just now, but my significant other has mentioned in the past that there is something abnormal about my general posture when in social situations. Specifically, he notes that I'm never looking in the right place while in a group of strangers. I always appear to be looking... |

| Any idea how the timing of your comments was? I've noticed, this seems to be my problem... I say things in a plenty friendly manner, yet, something is awkward in just how it's responded to, and I've been told my timing is just "odd" about things, or seems more like random fact stating rather than a... |

| ...that makes it apparent to others that I'm not quite typical. I used to think that my differences weren't obvious unless someone interacted with me at length. However, I've come to realize recently that there's some nonverbal cue that marks me as "weird", and I'm curious to know what it is. Last n... |

| Lots of people have fillings in their teeth. It doesn't mean that you're disgusting. I talked to my dentist about it at my last visit, and he said that some people are genetically prone to tooth decay. I brush my teeth thrice daily and use fluoride mouthwash, and I've still had several cavities. My ... |

| I know that this is going to sound strange, but about 1987 or 1988, when the young man fell in to the icy Red River in Fargo, ND. Don't know why this caught my attention, but it was big news in the Upper Midwest at the time and the kid was about my age. His name was Alvaro Garza. He fell through th... |

I really liked Into the Wild. I haven't seen the movie, though.
Jon Krakauer's other books are pretty interesting, as well. |

I LOVE David Mitchell! Thanks for posting that. 
I'm going to start describing myself as a "young fogey" now. |

| My cursive writing looks exactly as it did when I first learned how to do it in grade 3. I think it's funny. In high school, one of my friends decided I needed a cool signature, so he went to work designing one for me. After several failed attempts, he decided my name has too many letters to look co... |
