| I really like lemon drops, hot chocolate (or cider) mixed with cinnamon whiskey, rum & Coke, and gin & tonic. Some non-mixed drinks that I like include plum wine, Jaegermeister, sake, and different kinds of rum. I tried some super expensive tequila, although I'm not sure if I'd like cheaper ... |

| I've never considered buying the tone-your-butt shoes; they've always seemed like they're a ripoff. Where I live most of the elevator buttons and crosswalk signals actually work (some places they've done away with the crosswalk buttons altogether). I never really thought about the thermostat; I've n... |

| That sounds interesting...square pegs! lol I sometimes feel like that in the neurotypical realm haha. I'd say an hour's drive is well worth it if you get to spend time with people like yourself. I'd rather drive that far than go crazy being alone in the Neurotypical Forest lol. I remember when I was... |

| I'm sorry there aren't many clubs/support groups in your area :( I'm not from Mason County, but I know what it feels like to be stranded from other groups, as I lived out in the Yelm-area for much of my life until I moved to the Tacoma-area. You could always start one in your area. I'll bet you aren... |

| I graduated with a 3.17 with a BS in Psychology. I never pass/failed any of my classes, and I had a major depressive episode during my sophomore year of college. Although I didn't fail any of my classes, I think it did affect my GPA a little because my energy level was so low during that time. I als... |

| That was an extremely hard question. I love learning, and I'm fascinated with lots of different branches of science. I ended up choosing psychology, however, as that was what I majored in at my university. I love learning new things everyday. It's difficult not being in school anymore because I love... |

I'm hoping to plug myself into a couple community activities or make a few friends along the way, although I think the initial steps can be a bit hard (at least from what I've heard from other people). I've been trying to bond with people and meet with old friends, although th... |

| I've always been in favour of hands-on approaches, but the emotional side of this (it is therapy after all) makes me pause. That's what I was kind of thinking. I'd be open to a different mode of therapy (as someone else said, I agree that pills for these issues are often prescribed too much, rather... |
