When I was younger and would get very, very mad (note: this only happens when I am very mad) I would seek attention by getting quiet. Not just the normal pouting and sulking, but a very strange and uncharcteristic quietness. This was a guarentee for attention, it was so highly unusual, that they were sure I was going to emminently die of the black fungus plague.

Yes, I was a precocious child.

Even now when I get quiet, it normally means I am quite upset or have had the worst of days. Today, everyone is peering at me quite oddly simply because I am quiet for a change. I do realize this is quite an unusual phenominon, but THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME. When you have asked me this question five times and I continue to give the same answer, that indicates that I am telling the truth. Dammit.

There are times (believe it or not) when I just want to be QUIET! STOP MAKING ME SHOUT!
