    LMAO. You think _you_ have it hard??? I have housemates who think I am
not only _way_ too smart, mischievious, rebellious and potentially violent
for my own good (and others)... that I am crazier than a mad scientist intent
on makin' a few _minor_ changes to some of the realities on Earth (taking
over the world is _so_ passé, juvenile and egocentric, hehe...)
    They oft'times hear me mutterin' to myself in "weird languages" (me
chanting parts of the IPA, working on learning X-SAMPA, trial-&-error
experimentation on my conlang Aalexsit'exaa, & growling-&-snarling in my
frictive-sibilant-heavy "alien reptilianoid" language - not named yet - or
chatterin'&gibberin' away in a gremlin-like voice - just hyper-nonsense when
I am manic ;)... or throat-singing or chanting in the bathroom or stairwell
... Some of my housemates think I should be on "psych meds" (psychriatric
drugs) or committed to a hospital for the insane. Seriously.
    enuff about me... hehe...
