As you may or may not know, running is something I enjoy doing from time to time, though I can't say it's something I'm great at. About a year ago I had worked up to running a straight mile... not a fast one, mind you, but a mile no less. At that time, I would keep close track of the time... trying to push myself closer and closer to the coveted 10-minute mile, but that never happened. Then for a long time I stopped running... mostly because it got cold, and I do not do cold. More on that some other time...
But what I'm realizing is that I was measuring the wrong thing. It's not speed I'm after... it's distance.
If I were a rapper I'd write a lyric like "Get money, make cupcakes. Must be winter 'cuz I be frosting," and my pseudonym would be One-Zee.

Unacceptable
I am a pretty tolerant, patient person. But even I, your humble blog author, find certain things absolutely unacceptable. I can't even quite express them in words, so I chose instead to draw some drawings. As a quick aside, yes a lot of these have to do with driving. Yes, I like to drive fast. I'm still a rule-follower, but even I know a stupid rule when I see one, and I do like to get where I'm going... quickly. That does not mean that I am an unsafe driver, though! I like to refer to it as "driving with intention." Everyone should drive so intentionally. ;)
Et voilà:

[P]erceived [M]adness [S]yndrome
It's madness, I tell you. I recognize this. If you are a female, you will very likely know exactly what it is I'm talking about. If you are a male, do not attempt to understand it... logic will not help you here. Rather, keep this as a weapon in your coffer for safekeeping. It might just save you one day. Trust Stacie.

IMAGINARY
im·ag·i·nar·y /iˈmajəˌnerē/ adj. existing only in the imagination
I've spoken to lots of people who say that, as a child, they enjoyed the company of imaginary friends. This is perfectly normal and natural, and you only think it's weird if you didn't have any. Here's a diagram to help you understand:
