Alright, what a wonderful day it is today. I read your posts and want to thank you guys for making my day. Here is the mushy part of this post, dont let it go to your heads.
Lets start by saying that you guys are deep. I love that about you. You have similar interests as me, but I must admit that you are way over my head on a lot of things. I can read, write, dress and feed myself, I dont care what people think of me, I drool in my sleep, I often injure myself when performing simple repairs on the home and car, I am easily distracted (shiny things or gadgets), prone to running my mouth when silence is in order, and my social skills are lacking. To put it in the words of my best friend in the world - "I am the chaotic-good-tattoo-riddled-punk-biker of the free world with a good heart and a bad brain". So when we are out discussing our lives and interests, expect a lot of smiling and head nodding from me because I will probably be lost. Kind of like Joey from friends. So thanks in advance for not being judgmental of us "slower" folks, I would love to be able to study the things that interest me, but I am and will be busy raising my kid the right way, and prepping her for a world that I didnt create, but she has to survive in. That statement wasnt made as a cut on you guys at all, and nor is it an excuse or cop out for not broadening my horizons so to speak, its just a mere fact of my life, thanks for understanding.
Peace and good will to you.

I have a memory like a cheese grater. If it's not aforeign language thing, I'm screwed.
and as far as social skills go--mine are functional but uh- well, they're not pretty.
and you should see me tripping over empty wheelchairs at work- the rooms are so small- the handles get hooked in my pockets- I always have at least one totally unexplainable bruise.
and you should see me looking for my keys which I loose like every other day- ask welntaod-
Being there for your kid is the most important thing a person can do in my book. You get super big props for that from me.
and in reply to your post to me:
I'm sure welntaod wouldn't mind being volunteered for that, hehehe.
it's funny, I've never been in the service, but I'm getting better and better at volunteering other people for stuff at work-- or at least getting them to do what they're supposed to be doing.
anyway, I know I have a lot of weirdo esoteric interests, and I'm used to people not knowing what I'm talking about. I know there are people who can be snooty about that sort of thing, but there's so much stuff I don't know, that I just can't judge someone for not knowing about my weirdo stuff.
And like when welntaod starts talking about music- my eyes glaze over. I start using all of my talking-to-a-person-with -dementia skills
*reasuring voice*
yes
ooooh
okay
uhuh
yeah
oh, that's nice
I'm sure it will be okay
anyway, gotta run
any human being brave enough to raise a socially prepared and conscious child in this world is a freakin' hero! so many people think that children are their little ego accessories. you obviously love your daughter! what better thing couldja do, really?
as for the other stuff, dude ... klutzorama over here. i mean, i was a dancer, but i cannot walk :
a. in a straight line
b. without running into something/one
c.without tripping
d. with all of my clothes appropriately fastened
the bruises, cuts, and sprains from merely existing in the world are enumerable!
my thing is this - materiality is a chosen reality. the world of material space exists, sure, but your engagement with it is always a choice. like any other choice, you must accept the consequences. i don't like to think that the world has limits, i don't like edges or endings, so i constant falldowngoboom. c'est la vie.
hooya - all about the rationalization.
btw, ya seem plenty smart to me!
