I notice I have to spend a lot of time in life pretending to be stupider than I am just to be able to communicate with people. I have to act like I care about a bunch of banal, pointless crap in order to even attempt to fit in. Such as watching American Idol or shopping at the Wholesale Club. And, p...

Does anyone else twist things with a compulsive fervor that defies all reason?

I always fell off my bike, too. But don't all kids do that? Aren't scabby knees a normal part of childhood? Actually, I just asked my Husband if he fell off his bike all the time and he said, "No, almost never". I'm also no good at stairs. I used to think that was because I grew up in a ranch house ...

I can't wash my face without getting water everywhere. Thank God for those waterless cleansing cloths! What a great invention. I often get my sleeves caught on doorknobs, usually while holding a full cup of coffee. I always spill the coffee, but sometimes I even manage to break the cup. Or rip my sl...
