First off, PartlyCloudy, that first one is amazing. That's a problem I tend to have -- not being the world's best listener under certain circumstances. I will answer what I think is going to be said, rather than waiting to hear what actually is said. (Maybe we can make that a positive: I am aware of it, so I do work on it. I really do, and sometimes I get pretty good at it.)
Scott, I'd love to be your friend -- but you'd have to promise to warn me before you start playing with sharp objects, 'K? But I loved your list. One day, when I'm feeling myself again, I'd love to share some of what those points brought up for me from my own life. (The part in #2 about reading things with no practical purpose in your life is one of those things I can feel in my own skin.) And I loved archery -- I'd get back into it if I knew where to go around here and could afford it. (And could leave the house -- but hey, let's not get overambitious, right?)
I forgot one more thing I kinda like about myself: I've got what I call a "Magpie Brain" -- I collect odd things to line my nest. That means that I can quote poetry, remember odd facts that may or may not be relevant at the time, can usually find something to draw a conclusion from even if the connection may not be clear to anyone else, etc. I like having a Magpie Brain. Even if it means that I get song lyrics from some pretty obnoxious '70s tunes stuck in my head at times...
Thanks for answering, to the two who have so far. And Scott? Thanks for that introductory paragraph.
