Seriously. I can relate to most of that, especially "Little things you do to show that you notice I am paying attention to you. Thanking me for sending you that music I think you might like or for bringing you that item I don’t need any more but it’s perfect for you." It's like, I *know* I didn't do whatever it was that was nice for the purpose of getting thanks, but when you make a gesture that goes seemingly unnoticed, it hurts. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Last blog post from Heather - <a href="http://heather-harris.blogspot.com/2008/11/fight-deadlines-with-brownies-recipe.html" rel="nofollow">Fight Deadlines with Brownies!

What do you think of me? Sorry, what was that, I didn't hear you, I wasn't listening." You mean like that? I agree with you list except for the assume part. I like it when people assume things and then are proven catestrophically wrong. It's funny! I enjoy it! Like when McCain picked Palin to steal the Hillary supporters thinking that because Palin had tits, and Hillary had tits, Palin would draw the Hillary supporters. Funny! But that could just be the sadist hidden deep within me. I'm also a firm believer in schadenfreude. It's German for "Karma". Karma can be a bitch in stilettos with fishnet stockings and a leather bustier. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Last blog post from muttmutt - <a href="http://accidentalincidents.blogspot.com/2008/11/heh_16.html" rel="nofollow">Heh...</a></em></abbr></em></abbr> “Enough of me talking about me.
