| I can not take notes if my life depended on it. I tend to doodle. Or design stuff instead. The only way I learn is by doing and watching. |

| I have about half a pot on average. I`m a little sick right now so only a couple of cups. If I don't have my coffee I am not a very good person. I need it to really feel awake and ready for the day. I drink it black. If I add anything to it I can't drink it. Even a half sugar packet or a hint of cre... |

| ^^Agreed I was very slow to learn words correctly. My words still come out odd. If I focus on a conversation I can make them come out more less right but when stress not so much. |

| I commute in traffic all the time in my manual beetle. As previously mentioned it helps me stay focused on driving. When I drive my parents auto truck I feel like I have no control at all. |

| I am terrible at accepting compliments. They usually fly right over my head. I come in, I fix problems, I ask if there is anything else and then leave. I do not require any comments. I try to be very nice and accept comments but they might as well be saying hi or bye I process them the same way. I d... |

| When I was in school my favorite class was English. I was a perpetual procrastinator. At the same time I was a perfectionist. These two traits allowed me to excel. I would procrastinate until the night before my paper was due. I would write a first draft by hand then I would spend the night writing ... |

I personaly host some forum sites that probably have more traffic then WP. Whatever he is being charged it's too much if he needs this many ads. I t... |

| Be careful hitting yourself. Try hitting something soft or crush ice in your hand. Self harming is never a good thing. I have broken 2 cell phones that way. Not only does it cost you money it also made me bleed from my forehead. |
