I'm no longer insulted by being thought normal.)	✓ Sad movies, games, and the like can cause a trickle of tears every now and then.  (Yeah, I'm soppy.

× I want to live in my mother's basement when I grow up.	✓ I have a custom-built computer.  (If that means buying in bits rather than getting one off-the-shelf.
