So... did you know I am "special"?
Fuck that. I have been told I am "special" practically all my life. I love the way Hallmark puts it on their foolish greeting cards....as in, "You are a special step-mother." Or, how about Special Ed? Or, Special Olympics?

Why couldn't I be labeled intelligent, gifted, talented, beautiful, or even funny. I'll take funny - over special - any day.

If you are lacking adjectives, please don't use the word special...ok?

I really should need to make my coffee now.

:cry:

2. When I hear the word 'special' I usually think of Church-Lady from SNL.
"Well isn't THAT special..."

5. Yeah...
Special really isn't the most flattering compliment in the world.

I forgot the Lunch Special... or Special of the Week...

it goes on and on. :eyes:

"Special" is simply far too vague for you. Get your coffee & let it work its magic on ya. I've had mine already. You'll feel a lot better!
