I Am That Person

I just became the person I used to disparage.

I just called a California phone number, to inquire about making accommodation reservations, without even stopping to consider that it was 7:30 in the morning on the west coast. Someone at this small lodge answered the phone and told me I would have to call back after 8am.

So, there's the definitive answer, I guess. In case you were wondering, apparently it takes six months in Toronto in order for the belief that you ARE the centre of the universe, and the world revolves around you, to really take hold.

If it takes six months to believe you are the centre of the universe, how long does it take before the Maple Leafs become your favourite hockey team?

I can't see that ever happening. They'd need to win, or something, first.
