I've looked for patterns to things all my life, though I've come to actively CONSCIOUSLY understand that only in the last 5 years or so. I've always sought to understand the WHY of things; it's never been enough for me to simply know that something IS. Even when I couldn't figure it out...

This essentially covers everything that's happened with me since we last spoke: http://www.aoaforums.com/forum/aoas-community-support/50704-whats-been-up-with-me.html There's probably more personal there than you really are interested in, though. :) AOA's all but dead now, I think we all know...
