My annoying qualities Just for shitz n gigglez! Lolz! :-D

• 1.) I chew very loudly. I have been told on more than a few occasions that I chew like a cow. Lol I can't help my crunching.
• 2.) I'm a slob. My room looks like a tornado hit it. My sister said I have what appears to be a seventeen year old boy's room. 
• 3.) I eat gobs and gobs of mayonnaise on sandwiches and sometimes just off a spoon. Also, I eat sticks of butter just like that. Not whole sticks all at once though.
• 4.) I lack common sense. My mom and sister frequently call me a dope or say I act like one. Sometimes I need things spelled out for me and sometimes I don't realize what is happening until it's too late, like a cup of something tipping over and I...

• Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD) pain - a chronic and currently incurable pain disorder I have which causes random and agonizing headaches that can feel like sinus, tension, migraine, and cluster headaches. The absolute WORST pain imaginable!! It can also cause pain that mimics the pain of other disorders/nerve disorders like TN. It can feel like being shocked and burned for hours or in recurring bolts. Pain pills do not work and are not usually allowed to be prescribed anyway.

• Being back at school - in college and being lost, often physically can't find my way to class and always being lost and confused about the work and about to fail and get thrown out of college. I had this dream every single night, literally every single night in some version for over a year after college graduation. Now I still have it quite frequently but not every single night anymore and with more varying details now but basically the same. That year it was always the last two classes I was failing that were going to get me thrown out, now that's not always the case. This dream wouldn't be so bizarre or remarkable (it's actually a very common thing people dream about -school and failing - but it was (and sometimes still is) so very frequent, obsessively frequent and some details were relentless and so magnified. I would have two and three of this ...
