Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I left two yummy roasted chicken legs and fresh lemonade for you, Kat.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I found dating Hell on Earth, full of rejection and awkwardness and embarassment, but I am happier in a happy relationship. For me, it was the rough terrain I had to make my way through to get to where I wanted to be. I knew what I wanted--I wanted real love and a wonderful companion--and to get that, I knew I had to go through all the pain and boredom of dating--years and YEARS of pain and boredom.

But I look over at the BF playing his guitar and I know it was all worth it. (Sorry for the schmoop, but I'm a total sap.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

That just makes me sad. I think schizophrenia hits men in their early 20s, unless it was drugs.

I just assumed it was the drugs. They found pot and oxycodone in his posession.

Over 50% of people suffering from schizophrenia also abuse drugs & alcohol to self-medicate. The Jesus complex sounds more mental illness than drug-induced.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Exactly what Cashmere said. Did you know that schizophrenics are usually chain smokers? The nicotine actually helps control their symptoms.

I'm actually showered and I've taken all my vitamins. This doesn't sound like much, but compared to days when it's practically time to leave and I haven't done that much, it's positively rocket science time.

Yup. My brother is a walking ash tray.

Skip dates, skip dating, skip all that crap, and it'd be nice to have emotional backup on tap.

What is even happening?

Like Strega, I had to pick the least bad answers. I got a 45. They suspect I'm a quirky-together, which they described as something like a subset of quirky alones who manage to hook up with same.

It's a fair cop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm down with the "family of choice" concept, but shouldn't "my actual relatives" at least be an option here?

Also, a "significant other" isn't a friend? That quiz was annoying. But then, I hate the word quirky, so they kind of lost me from jump.

The only word I hate more than quirky is kooky, which is what my Mom invariably calls anything I'm interested in, or do.

Since the site is selling a book called quirkyalone I expect the quiz isn't exactly set up to be unbiased.
