…because…

I live in Og’s country.  
I’ve never had an argument with my present spouse of 14 years.  
I’ve always managed to land on my feet financially/jobwise.  
I am completely debt free.  
I can fix most things that go wrong with a house.

I’m going to graduate debt-free, having paid the lion’s share of tuition and board myself(this is due to my university’s unique Co-op program more than anything else).

Don’t hate me because I work at home, in my pajamas, every day, for my own business. No one can outsource me.

I’ve never had a hangover either but that’s because I have a system that involves plenty of water.

I hate all of you who are doing really well financially. I’ll get into your exclusive club someday! _shakes fist_

This is only applicable to women, but don’t hate me because I don’t suffer from PMS or get cramps. Apparently those really hurt a lot. The most I get is a mild discomfort that goes away after the first day.

Don’t hate me because I’ve never had a headache.

Nope. Not ever.

Not from a hangover, not from stress, not from the flu.

Never.

I don’t know why.

I live in between two chocolate factories and my neighbourhood always smells like chocolate. Sometimes it also smells like cookies when the wind is right.

I don’t chow down on cheeseburgers and biscuits & gravy often, but if I want a brownie and ice cream now and then, I’m not going to feel the least bit guilty about eating it.  
[/QUOTE]

How short does one have to be to fit into size 00’s? I’m not envious by any measure, because, in order for me to look normal at your clothing size, I’d have to shrink by at least half a foot.

Don’t hate me because I have become the research monkey mind reader. In the museum library I volunteer in, if we have a book on the topic you’re interested in, I’m likely to be able to tell you whether we have it or not via a quick scan of the stacks (or a little memory recall) based on things like “uhm, there’s this chest I saw one time at the flea market…” and “there’s this artist that does a lot of [insert subject here that’s ridiculously common]” with reasonably satisfactory results. Sometimes, however, there is no pleasing the customer, as there are no books in the library on such scintillating topics as 18th century Japanese clockwork and heavily documented Imperial Shinto rituals. (The latter one wouldn’t be common due to 1. lack of interest and 2. secrecy of certain rituals within the royal family. I may be wrong, but I doubt it. There is some documentation, however, on folk Shinto rituals.)
