<p>My top ECs are: </p>
<p>Venting/Rambling/Writing-Talking Nonsense = which is about oh 12 hours of my day 7 days a week, not counting when I have strange dreams relating to what I am berating at the moment. It also manifests itself in some of my actions such as talking about seemingly irrelevant topics in whatever class and then, going on an overload of tangents in order to compose some hydrogen-bond-ish structure of what I think makes sense and being criticized of being long-winded! But, I'm guessing, that you, Reader, would not be able to guess that from what I've just written. </p>
