1. I'm afraid to learn too much about Scientology, because what if I get converted? I've always felt this strange affinity/weakness towards cults and such, and handle that in the extremely mature way of ignoring it and pretending it's not there, much like I learned to get over my fear of scary things under the bed. See, that makes perfect sense to me. I'm a big fan of the "pretend it isn't there" method, although I've never felt the need to apply it to cults. I guess the knowledge that my mother would KILL ME DEAD has always kind of discouraged my considering into different religions, even now that I'm grown up.
2. I've received numerous compliments over the years on my speaking voice and my sandwich-making ability, neither of which seem particularly special to me. I can understand not feeling particularly proud of your speaking voice, since that's not usually under your conscious control, but sandwich-making is a skill. Stand tall with pride in your sandwich-making.
3. Getting water in my eyes is almost as bad as getting soap in them. My eyes aren't uber-sensitive or anything otherwise... I can touch them and stuff, and saline is fine. They just don't like the pH or something? Huh. That's interesting. And I bet annoying, since people don't give you much sympathy for water in your eyes.
Re: Cheer! via odd facts. I like it.
