True story, there was this guy I chatted with online who was scared to meet me IRL because he was afraid my tongue moved as fast as my fingers (it doesn't). He calls me fire fingers.<br />I also recently had a friend tell me I was as close to superhuman as he knew. What? He's crazier than I am! <br />I, too, am human. Not necessarily a normal human, but a human nonetheless. And, sorry, nothing close to superhuman ;)L. E.

Or at least to have them think you have some super skills that makes everything easier for you. They use that to excuse their own lack of effort and ambition.

I too get 8 hours of sleep and it is sooo a must. I always feel like I'm spread too thin but I kind of like it that way. My biggest problem is I'm the only avid reader in my house. My daughter used to read but she's been stolen by You-tube, so no one really gets me around here. I have two completed manuscripts and not one member of my family, including the hubby, will read it. I'd hold it against them, but they don't read anything else either. Yeah-I'm living with those people. Okay-now I'm depressed. I feel so alone. *sigh* Okay- I feel so much better now that I got that out.
