there are many things that i do that gravitate towards self-conscious tendencies in my mind. i often fear what others think of me. i am a perfectionist, so i beat myself up a lot. i am a second guesser in a lot of ways. scars from my middle school days reveal themselves in a slightly darker hue in situations where i feel threatened, ganged up on, or mocked. however, on a lighter note, there are some things about me that i can seriously laugh at and not succumb to the three-eyed self-conscious monster. here's an example of how quirky i am and honestly don't care about it. as all ipod owners know, his or her ipod comes with the basic manufactured pair of white earphones. these are the ones that i use for my nano. they're fine. i have read a few reviews on them which people are most unhappy. i am like, gosh, am i a loser for using mine? should i like go buy some high-tech, expensive ones. :o) there it goes again...the self-doubting, self-conscious evil monster taking a little skinny dip. so anyways, the earphones have small lettering marking them each as a "left" earpiece and a "right" earpiece...hence an "L" and an "R." well, here's the deal. both earpieces are
identical in shape, so the earpieces could go in either ear and do the job just as well. so my deal...it's like pavlov's law...doggie hears the bell...doggie
always slobbers. aly uses her nano...aly
always picks up her earphones, checks to see which one is "L" and "R", and
always puts them in their respective ears. EVERYTIME. i
have to put the "L" in my left ear and the "R" in my right ear. i just can't bring myself to ignore the fact that it makes no difference. it's crazy!!! call it OCD, call it an idiosyncrasy, call me tard head, call me shirley. i think it's so funny. am i weird or WHAT?!?! i just can't help it! :o)

you're the best, baby. we become less self-conscious together, right? (how do you like that "right"?) keep writing...i'm sure there are many mystery readers out there! 14384sho.
That is the funniest thing I have read all day.

durn, carlos. thanks for the "fun dip" by (what flavor? grape was my favorite). i was so excited that you commented...didn't know you read my blog. i am honored. lots people tell me that they read my blog, but NO ONE ever comments. got any solutions? glad that i could make your belly (disguised by the "half-tuck") jiggle. loved that post by the way.
First of all let me say WHAT'S UP! I haven't spoken to you in ages. Hope all is well with the Slade household. Secondly, and more importantly, if you look closely at the standard issue ear buds you will notice that the stem from whence the cord comes is actually offset just a bit. On the L ear bud it's further to the back to allow the bud to sit deeper in your ear, increasing the signal flow to the ear drum. So, using the R bud on your left ear would create an increased distance from speaker to drum, further decreasing intelligibility. Technically they're different, sonically they're not. So there you have it.
