I think I'm about a 49% today.
A zero day would be sipping afternoon tea with Prince Charles, then sitting through a recital of Bach's 'Mass in B minor', whilst looking pensive.
A 100% day would be dropping my trousers & eating toilet paper during a job interview, then stage diving repeatedly at an "S Club 7 Juniors" gig.
I think we should talk about this stuff with our neighbours instead of the weather. Then we could all be a bit more forgiving of our mistakes.
I find it useful to counter criticism with a plea of insanity. I don't even have to give my current rating.
My girlfriend might ask...
"Are you going on your computer again? You were on it for two hours twenty-seven minutes last night" Then I'd say...
"Look, it's just where I am right now" To which, there can be no reply. (Except perhaps "I'm leaving you")
Or...
"Why don't you ever do anything romantic anymore?" And then I could say...
"Look, it's just where I am right now. (Besides I'm not a girl)" -It's better just to think that bit in brackets.
If I ever did do anything really out of order, like order myself a male strippergram at my own Birthday dinner party, I could add...
"It's a balmy 86% today so just BACK OFF!"
Then I need never apologize for anything ever again. Ha!
Sorry I don't know what came over me.
So sorry.
Sorry. xxx
She is quite cool to put up with my crap (& I'm cool too...).
We are often as insane as people allow us to be.
(How's my sanity 0800 1,2,3,4...99,100)

Is that a white coat I see before me?
there is where I am right now :S
Brilliant.
I don't care about percentages. As long as I can enjoy it, I'm okay with it!
And it can even help you getting a great job occasionally!
(Is there any difference between your posting and 'never stopped being a child' anyway?).
a 0% day when sipping tea with Prince Charles? You do realize that chances are high that he might be wearing a skirt?
What I was missing in your plea were the positive aspects of insanity. You just mentioning the negative aspects of male-female relational male insanity, which is mainly due to the highly evolved mother instincts of females involved and a strong male kaukasian hunters instinct (I was in therapy with Dr. Phil).
But the bright side, that results in quantum theories, music for the masses, joy for kids, etc, where is that in you plea?
I just got out of work an hour ago, so my insanity level was well over 50 percent. Luckily it's starting to taper off now.
Thanks Costa,
I value your wit & wisdom.
I am so digging the insanity rating. Here I was thinking that I was indecisive and moody, and all it was was a different rating on the insanity meter. Brilliant. I'm with costa though. The positive aspects of the insanity are valid. The more sane I am, the more boring I become.
Though I must add, if my husband ever said 'That's just where I'm at right now' about anything, I'd shove his "Insanity meter" so far up his arse, he'd choke on it. :D
It read like a perfectly normal account of a typical person's thoughts on the sanity/insanity struggle. Apt words were chosen and thrown across the screen by deflty dancing (or chicken-pecking, I haven't decided yet) fingers on a pristine white Mac keyboard. Then you ended it with three kisses. Oh dear.
