My friend says...
That I am diagnosed with the medical condition of ADD which is known as Attention Deficiency Disorder.I was so tickled by her creative name- calling imagination that I almost cried from laughing too much, till she told me that it's a real condition, and she didn’t make it up. And now when I search on goggle for this term, I have to say YOU ARE RIGHT, CAROLINE TEE! This term exists but its NOT ME! :P
Just for your curiosity:
Definition: What is Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)?
Attention Deficit Disorder is a biologically based condition causing a persistent pattern of difficulties resulting in one or more of the the following behaviors:
Inattention ,Hyperactivity,Impulsivity
Inattention
difficulty attending or focusing on a specific task. People with Attention Deficit Disorder may become distracted within a matter of minutes. Inattentive behavior may also cause difficulties with staying organized (e.g. losing things), keeping track of time, completing tasks, and making careless errors.
Hyperactivity
difficulty inhibiting behavior. These people are in constant motion. They may engage in excessive fiddling, leg swinging, and squirming in their chair.
Impulsivity
difficulty controlling impulses. These people do not stop and think before they act. They say and do whatever comes into their mind without thinking about the consequences. They might say something inappropriate and regret it later, blurt out a response to question before a person is done speaking to them, or have difficulty waiting for their turn in line.

I always knew something was wrong with you. Does this include a zero sense of humor as well.
Never watching movies with you anymore; no wonder you bitched so much about the "Princess Bride". :)

WAH! You are weird! And you live close to our home... is it contagious?
Is that because you ate too much tofu when you were a little girl or because you watched one too many japanese cartoons when growing up?
