Driving six hours to get to the nearest IHOP is nothing like the Iliad, nor is it heroic, majestic or impressively great. It is a lot of fun but in our western culture its not that unusual for people of our generation. If you battled fire breathing dragons while saving a princess from being ravaged by her evil Turkish uncle so that she could marry her prince and thus save the earth from impending doom on your way to the IHOP, that would be epic. But you didn't so its not.

Nothing to do with shopping carts in parking lots is extreme. We've all done it. Taking it down the steepest hill in town would make it extreme but only if you live. If you die your going to end up on someone's list of Darwin Award nominees which is where you would belong. On a side note only suggest this if your actually going to do it. Shopping carts are heavy and if I'm ever going to push one that far again I'm going to tie you to it when I push it down the hill.

Yes that was a excellent coffee shop and my cappuccino was quite tasty but honestly the coffee place two blocks down and three blocks over makes one just as good and its right next to where I work. Just because you discovered this place and it looks quaint and folksy does not mean their coffee tastes any better. It feels like minus forty out here and I just spent the last twenty minutes following you around as you tried to remember where this place is. I'm not thinking very pleasant thoughts towards you at the moment.

wow. so i am going to have to guess that you are judging rather than perceiving. if not for the diatribe on word usage, then for the precise layout of the definitions. strangely, this would mean my guesses add up to your being an intj. and that is what i am. so i think, perhaps, my perception is clouded by not really knowing who you are and i am actually just finding qualities about your posts that i identify with. have you ever done the myers-briggs test? you must. and perhaps you could pass along the results? since you refuse to provide any name.
