I would rather sit next to a transgender person and discuss why every single one I've met smells like a bar in the daytime than listen to people tell my why I want to have children and that I just don't know it yet. I do know, because I'm me and my feelings are the ones in my head. I don't want to have kids, and it's not a device to get attention or have conversations about it. I simply find children incredibly immature and, more often than not, dumb.
Chelsea Handler
the very notion of personality, which is what we are trying to get at here, seems to have very limited application to me and quite possibly to everyone else.

I call it, Things You Might As Well Know!
