*urp*
I was eating dried mango slices and had my phone headset on, so I decided to call a friend on a whim. She didn't answer, so I left a message and hung up. Then I burped, quietly but audibly (I swallow a lot of air when I eat), and resumed reading.

I was hoping for more exciting results...
So here's the personality disorder test going around, from almanzo. I'm not as exciting as I thought I was, except in the obsessive realm.
