by Rosie. on Sat Jun 26, 2010 03:47 PM PDTit didn't catch on this time like before. I wonder why?
But I'll throw in two:
If you know you have THE most refined poetic sensibility in the world.
and
If you're at least mildly paranoiac.

Beautiful As Usual
by Ahura on Fri Jun 25, 2010 11:05 PM PDTEroonman, my accounts are crude and lack finesse and charm as yours, but no offense is intended.
….When someone starts saying “F.” you know it is “Farahzad.”
….Without listening to the question you already have the answer.
….You wonder why the people miss to see the things that are so obvious to you.
….You do nothing wrong, it is always somebody else’s fault.
….You wonder why others talk while you are interrupting.
….You know democracy means freedom to do what you want.
….You have a very liberal view of wrong and right for yourself.
….It never occurs to you that may be you don’t know that you don’t know.
….You are excellent in using humor as an escape mechanism.
….You know there is poetic truth if not justice.
LOL...........

I actually had a friend, his name was (Rooh o llah Kheir ol omoor Gashghaaee) when he wanted to become a citizen he changed it to (Remond Kheir ol omoor ghashghaaee)!
... you have both HBO and Iranian Sateliite, but you haven't heard about True Blood, Glee, or Dexter, or Tapesh
That's me!

So true! just take a look at LA and OC publications .
... you pronounce it as Real Estate but spell it Real State.
