| Thank you for letting everyone know that. I think we are on the same wavelength. However, I don't know what possessed someone to post this in the General Discussion forum. If I posted a topic such as this, I would have posted it in the Members Only forum. I wasn't sure where to post it. It seemed A... |

| I just have to say I HATE the 4th of July! I like the U.S. fine, but can't we find a way to celebrate it without fireworks? I'm sitting infront of my computer, dissolving into a puddle of sweat because the people next door are setting off loud firecrackers. I really hate sudden loud noises; they fre... |

| As a kid, I read typical children's storybooks, Greek mythology, or I read about animals. I was obsessed with animals. For some reason, I can still recite the differences between Old World monkeys and New World monkeys from a book I read when I was ten. I was also big on the Discovery Channel. "Calv... |

| Autism is not "natural" in humans - the fact they don't tend to reproduce is alone proof of the "natural selection" argument. I had to comment on this. Since no one is sure what causes autism, we cannot say whether autism is "natural" or not. Unless autism is completely the result of some sort of h... |

I probably shouldn't admit that Tetris is my favorite game of all time.
My current favorites, other than Tetris, are Max Payne, Fatal Frame 2, and any Silent Hill game. |

| I love Comedy Central. I tend to like comedy in general, however. Some of their stuff is lame, but I like "Insomniac," "Reno 911," "South Park," "The Daily Show," and I get a kick out of a lot of the stand-up comedians. I don't watch any of it on a daily basis, though, because I get bored with most ... |

| Humor isn't too much of a problem for me. Stand-up comedy, even though I don't do it, is one of my obsessions. Alas, I have something of an off-beat sense of humor. Most of my humor runs towards the macabre, also known as "gallows humor.," which is one of the reasons I'm not sure if I have AS, or if... |

Can't help you.
I love art, all kinds of art. In fact, analyzing art is one of my obsessions. But perhaps you could find something to like about your trip? When I'm bored, I people-watch, or find something else to think about.
Good luck. |
