Funny you're talking about bug spray. One of my neighbors has apparently sprayed some outside, and I think I'm going to die.
Maybe I'm really a giant bug. |

Or that he's in the process of having a stress-related breakdown and lo... |

Guys do the same thing but it seems to be more about possessions than appearances. I don't get it either way. I recently had a conversation kind of ab... |

| Nap, coffee, and motivation. Yes, those would do nicely. What usually happens is that I feel tired, so I make coffee and pour myself a cup. Then I decide I really could use a nap, so I lie down for a bit, but of course I can never actually fall asleep. So I get back up to a cold cup of coffee, still... |

I can relate to caring more about the sound than the lyrics. Music is a language all its own, and even the most brilliant lyrics alone does not a good song make. I like plenty of music in languages I don't understand, or even made-up languages.
That link sounds quite nice. |

Same one I've had forever that I don't like to talk about.
But I am also currently a bit obsessed with Radiolab at the moment. I don't know what I'll do once I've made it through the entire archives. Then I'll have to try to be patient waiting for new episodes to come out.  |

| I don't know how to externalize the person that I am internally. I come across as an idiot because I can't put my thoughts into words properly and often can't think of even simple words when I try to say something. People make assumptions about me which are completely incorrect. (For example, people... |

It's the mind-controlling properties of toxoplasmosis. |

| I'm really confused about something. In my normal day-to-day life, I have some pretty noticeable auditory processing issues. I have to ask people to repeat nearly everything, because the first time they say it, it literally sounds like gibberish and I can make no sense out of it. However, I'm appare... |

I'm in my 30s and still prefer my fantasy world. I'm sure that's not normal either.
But yeah, who cares? It doesn't interfere with my real life in any way. |

However, I've never gone out of my way to fit in with any group. And, I never get when I'm "supposed" to not like someone. I'm always taken by surprise wh... |
