Angel Girl, it was somewhat tongue-in-cheek and 100% in earnest. Don't believe for a minute that all those people who look like they've got their ducks all in a row actually do. Even the ones who do generally do so by putting a lot of work into it.

The way I see it, there are two sides to any coin. If there is some way your brain works that is problematic, there is a compensating quality that you alone have. Call it Zen, call it the Law of Averages, call it Newton's Third Law of eMotion.

Statistically, normal means average. People who are 50% +/- 3% of everything just aren't going to be all that interesting. On the other hand, people with perfect lives and no problems aren't normal: they're freaks. Statistically speaking. At least.

Oh, okay, I'll admit it ... I wouldn't mind a bit of that freakiness myself! Just a bit, tho! ;^)
