Fortunately things are better 'tween us at the moment. To the point where the other day Kevin commented that it seemed like "old times". I think I'd like to have "old times" be state of the union again.

May be a silly question, but if you weren't fighting the world, does this mean you stopped fighting altogether, or were you turning on each other?

2. I am considered weird by most people and am constantly looking weirder and weirder as i can't decide whether to perpetuate this myth or try and demonstrate that i am actually probably sane.
3. i am absolutely fucking convinced that I am a very unique and talented person creatively yet am unable to commit to any one area which would damn well show everybody (be it music or writing).
4. I have only just started applying for graduate jobs nearly a year after graduating as I keep believing that all employment wishes to trap me forever and steal my soul.
5. I have lived in 13 different houses in my 22 years.
6. The happiest moment of my life involved the digestion of hallucinogenic mushrooms.
7. I am convinced I am more intelligent than just about everybody else my age and always have been.
8. women clearly find me attractive, funny, intelligent and caring- Thus my extreme lack of sucess has convinced me more than anything else there is something really weird about me.
9. I hate people who aren't funny who go around pointing out things that aren't funny.
10. I agree with The Slider almost always on the non music related topics. More than I do with anyone else on the board....but i'm too shy to actually have arguments on this board so no one would know it.
To put it all in a nutshell i'd have to say simply that i'm rather egocentric. However i do not see this as a negative thing. Having a high opinion of yourself does not entail that you don't care for others. Though it maybe true that i talk about myself a little too much.
