I was reading in Blueberry Hill about how she never got the gene for creating new images. I've long held-forth that I lack the Creative gene, but got in exchange the Makes Killer Gravy gene.

What genes are you lacking? What did you get in exchange?

I don't know what gene I may be missing, but I did get a very unwanted gene that seems to run only in female DNA. It's the "Panic-- people are coming over and everything must be PERFECT!" gene. Makes having a party not very much fun. :-P

I think I have the "must live in chaos" gene. To wit, even under duress, and great personal desire, I cannot escape surrounding myself with clutter. It's extremely annoying, and I'm not at all convinced that it is attached to the killer artist gene.
