I didn't wanna go too deep into the quizblog equivalent of shitty truckstop coffee, but why not? I've got all year, right?

Saying that people are flawed because of X is a little like saying a fork is just a flawed spoon. No. Different person, different purpose.

The things that allow people to be creative, analytical, organized, passionate, etc. aren't things that necessarily jive with everybody else.

The things that make me good at my job occasionally cause conflicts with Other People in The Real World. And that's okay with me.

You might appreciate his paintings, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want Van Gogh cutting off his ear in your apartment's guest room.

And as if it hasn't been proven by the Taco Bell spork, being a jack of all trades is pretty goddamn ineffective. Those things suck.

All this Dr. Phil shit kills me. "Flaws" and "character" and other things we use to put ourselves and others into neat little cubbies.

As with most things in life, I tend to think that as long as you aren't messing with anybody else you are free to be as weird as you want.

I realize that none of this is new and amazing. This is about a deep a revelation as the 101 Hot Sex Tips they feature in Cosmo every month.
