  1. That I'm not as mental as my brother.

  2. That I haven't been evicted yet.

  3. My Mum - though it was pretty rich when she said she wasn't aggressive today: my childhood is basically a set of memories of my Mum being really aggro and yelling.

  4. Medical weed - though apparently I lost my oil at the hospital .. I asked and they hadn't seen it. Still got 11 grams of flower, though.

  5. My friends.
