The important distinction should be whether they were GQ covers before their problems were offenses were public.

This is cool - ADD/ADHD may come down to, essentially, having too much brain: [link]
So says Ryota Kanai and his colleagues at University College London, who found larger than average volumes of grey matter in certain brain regions in those whose attention is readily diverted.
To investigate distractibility, the team compared the brains of easy and difficult-to-distract individuals.
They assessed each person's distractibility by quizzing them about how often they fail to notice road signs, or go into a supermarket and become sidetracked to the point that they forget what they came in to buy. The most distractible individuals received the highest score.
The team then imaged the volunteers' brains using a structural MRI scanner. The most obvious difference between those who had the highest questionnaire scores – the most easily distracted – and those with low scores was the volume of grey matter in a region of the brain known as the left superior parietal lobe (SPL). Specifically, the easily distracted tended to have more grey matter here.

I'm so glad you and your DH got good news, Scrappy.
Best wishes for Grace's surgery.

Our wings are not tired.
Nods knowingly at Jessica's link above. I think we could have guessed this with all our brilliant ADD friends. I wonder if I should be ashamed of my ability to focus now?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, it's my one-year anniversary at my job. It both feels like I'm still new, and that I've been here forever.

Because books.
Henry Cavill is so yummy. One of my favorite parts of The Tudors.
Happy workiversary, Jesse! It does seem like that, doesn't it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Holy crap, it's my one-year anniversary at my job. It both feels like I'm still new, and that I've been here forever.
Congratulations!
I've been at my place over a year and half! I feel like I'm the freshest n00b and that I'll get canned any moment.
Of course, I also feel like my brain is leaking out of my skull. These things might be related.
