"A man who is put off by bluntness will simply not be able to deal with an Aspie long-term. A person to whom a specific kind of appearance is vital is not going to be able to cope with a woman whose dress-sense must take into account both sensory issues and an inordinate amount of time spent in hobbies such as, say, feral cat capture-spay/neuter-release...

Sometimes, I wonder if I'll be good at counseling, since I can be so judgmental. But I realize that I can suspend my outward expression of it while funneling the energy into providing new perspective. I do it quite frequently in social situations, actually. Contrary to popular opinion, therapists aren't there to give advice or make decisions for their clients; they merely offer guidance so...

I interviewed my father for a class paper on someone at a late life stage (70+), and gathered the following information. He's turning 81 on Wednesday.

He boxed in the Marines and has never been afraid of another man physically. He's also never been afraid of any man in business, despite several lawsuits. He never had any fear while hunting in Africa. (How is he...

Taylor has a crazy factor scale for girls ranging from 1 to 10. He'll go up to a 7 but no farther when dating. Unfortunately, he keeps attracting 8's, 9's, and 10's.

When I asked him to rate me, he said I'm generally a 5. Wow, despite all the crazy ideas I spout for our entertainment, he still thinks I'm only halfway there. But he...

fatalconceit:
i'll take your word for it.

your raised eyebrows suggested surprise to me. you wouldn't be surprised at my insulting you so I figured you thought I was giving you an unexpected compliment. I still don't know why Clay Baking was brought into the picture... is he on your mind?
innocentmind:
No, I was raising my eyebrow because what you said was unacceptable. I don't always take the abuse, you know.wink Sometimes, I pretend to take it seriously and retaliate just for kicks because that's part of the game. I would accept a compliment from you graciously. Perhaps someone needs to mail you a new Laura user's manual. (Also, a therapist who values being crazy wouldn't be a very good one.)

I guess you don't mind being compared to Christian gays. Who'd have thought? I was continuing down the American Idol vein and progressing to a more insulting character, since you seemed to hope I wasn't calling you Ryan Seacrest, who also has a particularly lame gay vibe. (Some have cool gay vibes.) But you aren't up to speed in pop culture, which is probably a good thing.

Listening to this song makes me laugh almost every time. Thank God I'm Pretty by Emilie Autumn:

Thank god I'm pretty
The occasional free drink I never asked for
The occasional admission to a seedy little bar
Invitation to a stranger's car
I'm blessed
With the ability to render grown men tongue-tied
Which only means that when it's dark outside
I have to run and...

Today was the first day of Individual and Family Development class, and we went around the room doing personal introductions. I feel this is a totally useless practice that teachers use to fill up time on the first day, since no assigned reading can be discussed yet. I don't particularly care about other people's backgrounds, nor do they probably care about mine (but maybe I'm...

Someone I just recently started talking to online wanted me to share a story to show him why I think I have Asperger. He seemed skeptical, which most people are at first. That used to bother me, but now I'm always happy to patiently explain. I'm secure in my Aspieness and will only explain if people ask me to, since it's not always relevant. Here's...
