1. I don’t say “I love you ” unless I mean or your force me in some way. (offer to give me something I REALLY want, threaten to take away something I REALLY enjoy.) The same goes for other emotions. I don’t express them. If you see me crying or know I’m crying, it’s big.

2. I don’t like unwanted physical contact.
a. If you feel me bristle, it’s unwanted.
b. If you sneak up behind me, it’s unwanted.
c. If I say “Don’t touch me!” it’s unwanted.
d. If I’m involved in something important, it’s unwanted.
e. Basically, touch me at your own risk.

3. I refuse to actually like/trust people until I’ve known them for at least a month, preferably longer.

4. Your constant smile and good mood, which you seem to think make you a pleasant person, actually annoy the heck out of me.

5. One of the easiest ways to annoy me is to be stupid.

6. I hate tapping, snapping, humming, off-key singing, etc. The cup game makes me want to stab small woodland creatures with a butter knife.

7. Not everyone is preoccupied with sex. I’m not. Don’t try to read anything into my enjoyment of House. I like the mystery, drama, and maybe, just maybe, I identify with House a little bit.

8. I do not like conflict. I will bottle up my feelings until one of three things happens:
a. I cry uncontrollably.
b. I yell at everyone.
c. I make myself sick.
d. The only exception is if I have an adequate sports shed.

9. When I play soft music and curl up on my bed, it means I’m trying to take a nap. Leaving the door open so I can hear every slight noise is not the way to go.

10. If you see me leave the room with my blue squishy ball, it’s probably because I am ticked off… get used to it.
