That's me, too. Sometimes, even if the background noise isn't that bad, I'll have trouble understanding a person.

I like things to be the same alot. As a baby, I would only drink milk from a specific bottle. Today, I actually like to eat the same thing day in and day out. People ask "Don't you ever get tired of that?", when, in fact, I prefer the same thing to having something different every day. I'll go weeks eating only spaghetti, or only Macaroni and Cheese, and drinking only Mountain Dew [especially drinking Mt. Dew while chewing Mentos] or Root Beer (used to only be Mt. Dew, now I've diversified). -- "If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore, and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God!" - Ralph Waldo Emerson "Glassín wafilái pigasyúv táv pifyániivav nadusakyáavav sussyáiyatantu wawailáv ku suslawayástantu ku usfunufilpyasváditanva wafpatilikániv wafluwáiv suttakíi wakinakatáli tiDikáufli!" - nLáf mÁldu nÍmasun ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
