My, that was painful, but carthartic. I've needed to get all of that off of my chest for quite some time. As they say, admitting that you have a problem is the first step toward recovery, and, as I think is evident, I have a lot of problems to recover from. At least I've never watched Buff the Vampire Slayer or played D & D; maybe there is hope for me yet.

Also, I can say "check" to numbers 7, 8, and 9. And the scary part is that I've never read the series you're refering to in number 7...but I've heard YOU talk about it so much that I feel confident in holding my own in a debate -- AND IN FACT HAVE SUCESSFULLY DONE SO! I think you should add:
7.1 Has a sister who can do the same, although never having read the series, because you have talked about it so much...check!
