It's almost me. I don't have an ex that gave me an aromatherapy candle,
I sing out loud on the train itself too, and I don't just fingerspell
the initial letter, I fingerwrite the whole word in cursive - even
though I rarely use cursive. Also, I don't know enough Spanish,
Esperanto, Italian, or ASL to use them in conversation - although I do
use the odd French or German words, and I often have conversations with
other people in my German class using some ungodly German/English
amalgam.
Other than those few things, it's me.
