| have not met anybody remotely like myself. wish that it was not so. To be honest, if I met myself (and did not know it), I'm not so sure I would like me. Why? Well, we'd both be opinionated, blunt, both of us would have incoming and outgoing communications issues. Sooooo, not so sure I want to meet... |

| I don't find this to be scripting. Scripting is when you say something on certain occasions, and there's no variation in what you say, and it occurs on a consistent basis, without much forethought from the person doing the scripting.
