| I really enjoyed Billy the Kid. Too bad it's one of those indie films that only people in certain places can see. |

It can't hurt.
It really sucks to do poorly on a test not because you didn't know the material but because you weren't able to finish it. So if you're able to get that kind of accommodation, go for it! |

I made them wait about three or so weeks so I could finish up interviews and receive other offers. Then, after I finally accepted a job from a Cambridge startup, freakin' Goo... |

I put a profile up on that site a few weeks ago. Looks like there are some decent girls in my area too. We'll see what happens.  |

| Personally, I dislike and distrust activism. It can't become political. I agree. This is why I haven't taken much of a shine to groups like Aspies for Freedom. They can come off as really extreme and political, even when they don't mean to. The movie "Inconvenient truth" is, ostensibly, a film abou... |

A lot has changed in the past couple years. The site's grown a ton, and Asperger's has gained much more public awareness. Problem... |

I can get up okay, but I'm just tired or grumpy for the rest of the day, regardless of how much sleep I've had. It feels terrible. I wanna go back to my old s... |
