What grinds your gears and how do you deal with it?

OMG, I laughed so hard at this. Only because I am the same way, with all the sorts of things you mentioned. My boyfriend always sneezes 4 or 5 times in a row and I struggle to stay unirritated. I am also a little bit like Howard Hughs in that I can't really think about dirt that much.

The only half-brained theory I can come up with is that I'm not used to having a dense physical chemical body. I have no reason to really believe that...it's just a random guess and the only thing I've thought of that makes sense.

Have you read Tom Robbins? In his book, Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates, his main character couldn't stand to think of bodily functions, or even the internal organs that facilitated them, so he always saw the inside of his body as light. Tom Robbins books are funny and out-of-the-box, but always have a spiritual aspect.

Never read Tom Robbins, I've had him recommended to me a few times. Maybe when I find some time I'l pick up this book, sounds like I can relate to it :p.
