And it'd be easier on everyone if I wasn't this side of neurotic, but we've seen what happens when someone tries to fix it. [See? He can make light of his own compliance! Sort of.]

It's...a little less stressful. I was doing a good job fighting it before, but that's what it was. A fight. Before I could fight it, though, it was just...normal. It didn't feel strange, or else I would've known about it a lot sooner. Looking back, I must have seemed so strange. But it's less of a fight now, and it's actually rather nice to be able to get annoyed at my boyfriend and friends. Less of a lie that way.
