There’s a specific reason I put all of those up there. *sigh* If only people could read my mind…

*sigh* you could tell us… or you could spend your years trying and trying to make a mind reading device till your own mind is so shot the machine wouldn’t be able to help people read it anyways.

Nah, I’d prefer to leave it to the imagination.
Alternatively, if I did decide to tell you, it’d be a two hour diatribe for each bullet point on there and it’d take you two or three repetitions before you’d be able to let go of pre-conceived notions.
That’s not an insult to you or anyone in particular, it’s just that it took me years to get to the frame of mind I have now. And many of my beliefs were so hard to accept I just avoided thinking about them for months at a time. Life is more like it seems than it seems… ;-þ
