| Wow! That is so interesting! I thought that first one was just completely random doodling, but there's so much more to that drawing! Having it explained to me, I really like that symbolism. How about page two? Now that I know about the background to the first one, I'm really curious about the other!... |

| I work as an illustrator, and I have not had any problems following instructions from my employers, as long as it's through text. Then again, I don't really know how much our jobs differ. When I'm the only one person working on a project, instructions can be a bit looser. I know that as an animator,... |

| I'm not much older than you, but here goes anyways. I feel like it only gets better as time passes by. I'm getting better and better at dealing with my problems, and I'm more comfortable being myself. I no longer feel the need to chase human connections, or the preassure of fitting in or being able ... |

| I relate. Don't have piercings or tattoos either, and even older people have commented on it with a "but you're young!?", as if anyone under 30 just naturally has those things. I've only worked full time once, for two weeks, and it made me suicidal. Now I only work every other weekend, but... |

| Why do girls like dogs so much? Is it a maternal thing? Yes I think so. They call the dog their baby and treat her t similar to if it was their kid. Yeah, I must confess guilty of this one. I didn't use to like dogs at all. Then my boyfriend brought one home, basically left me in charge of it, and ... |

| I like your imagination! I could never be so abstract as to put a snake-bowl right in someone's forehead. I get that those two may be unrelated, but it looks cool to me. I'm not sure what counts as a doodle, but if it's like small sketches, I made these on the bus today: https://farm5.staticflickr.c... |

| My Special Places have always been libraries. Recently, though, I've noticed a trend - they're not as quiet as they used to be. A lot of them feature romper rooms where children are free to scream at the top of their lungs. Others, like the one in Northgate, was infested with meth heads and heroin ... |

| I listen to a wide variety of music. Right now I go for a lot of punk, swedish folk music, blues and classical. What it all has in common is that there's a melody. I don't much like heavy, screamy stuff or the electronic dubstep-kind of music (I know there's a big load of genres in there, but I have... |

| I would like Scandinavian weather in the summer. New York weather is too hot and humid. 30 Celsius is the average high. Hah! And here I am, complaining about melting at 15c. We do sometimes get a day or two of 30c, but it usually stays down at 20c (in the hottest period). After reading this, I feel... |

But the narcissistic side of social media is truly awful. My biggest problem is that I feel like I'm a part of it. I don't do selfies o... |

| I have a thing for smoke as well. I used to live with a friend's family when I was a kid, and the parents smoked. I really felt at home there, and I considered the grownups as my second pair of parents. I had a better time there than I did in my own house. I hate being in other people's houses, but ... |

| Special interests are way more common with autistic people, but NT's can be extremely passionate as well. I have a friend who is very neurotypical (if that's a thing) and also so passionate about animals that her apartment is like a small zoo - as if working at the actual zoo wasn't enough. Last tim... |

| The traits most universally attractive are confidence and a sense of homour. The only debate is over where the line between confidence and arrogance is and what's funny. Also men are more attractive when they are interacting with pets or doing manual things like putting up fences ect. Interesting. ... |

| I also moved south, and I regret it in the summer. I didn't even move that far, only 650 km, but it's still a tiny bit warmer down here, and way more humid, making both heat and cold seem worse. Oh, man... Should've stayed in Sweden. I turn nocturnal in the summer. It's the only way I can get someth... |
