"I am someone who takes everything very literally. I simply do not understand irony, a defect I have had ever since I was able to think independently."

My thing is, I'm just way too harsh. It's an enormous impediment, and that's just the truth of it. It doesn't make me any better, make me any worse, it certainly isn't more valorous. I have a character defect, man.
