Yawn.

did i mention that i don't yawn when other people yawn. "everyone" says that "everyone" catches yawns.

sitting across the table from someone yawning, you probably ended up yawning. talking on the phone to someone yawning, you probably end up yawning. i bet that reading this...me saying yawn over and and over again (yawn yawn yawn yawn)...you're probably going to end up yawning.

but i don't.

i don't yawn. i mean, i yawn, but only when i am tired. i don't catch yawns from other people.

so i looked into it. and i found out that "experiments suggest that contagious yawning is related to a person's self-awareness and ability to see things from another person's view"...basically people with empathy, catch yawns. and...did i mention that i don't... so does this mean that i don't have empathy? i mean...i'm sitting here (not yawning) trying to think back to a time when i felt empathetic for someone. some time when i felt someone else's pain, in my own heart and body and soul. a time when i put myself into someone else's shoes, realized what they were going through...

um. achem. yawn. oops. i think i got bored.
