  6. I guess it would be both the Doogie Howsers and Forrest Gumps of the world. It's the Average Joe who isn't fazed by anything.

  7. Nice quote that seems related to the original quote:

    "To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime." -- Emily Dickinson

    You are?
    Wow. That's ASTONISHING.

    Note to self: go to the gym store and purchase an ass-tonishing workout machine to have a cuter butt for this summer.
