I feel boring… a boring well adjusted white male from the middle class. A boring well adjusted white male from the middle class that stands infront of the mirror a bit to much.

Be careful what you wish for right?

Hmm. I don’t think I’m schizotypal, judging by that description. I’m more likely just eccentric.

To put this in context, I clicked on this link because I thought I would be able to give a long rant about just exactly _how_ screwed up I am, and yet I get mostly Lows, with two Highs, one of which couldn’t be more wrong. Well, unless I really am an attention seeker with extreme social anxiety 😛
