Every now and then -- like today, on the bus, when the guy behind me -- well, we'll save that.<br /><br />I have to admit that I don't really mind the smell of good, hard-won sweat. I don't mind being close to people. What I do mind, however, are people that don't notice that they are outside of the room's expectations. If it is silent, and you are using your vocal chords, well why is that? How can you not notice that no one else is making these sounds?<br /><br />People.
