5. For many years, I have believed I must have been born on the wrong planet.

Is this what you mean? I absolutely agree with the majority of other people when it comes to important matters like Beatles' admiration. But on other subjects, I'm off in left field. As to when I began to suspect it, it was early in my school life. Perhaps third grade? I seem to have put more words down on some kind of test they were giving everybody. And then I thought I saw a teacher eyeing me suspiciously. Perhaps I just developed paranoia early?

Also, that looks like a pleasant dinner. Are we having wine with it?
