| In a perfect world, one would be able to act themselves and be desirable to be around. However, in reality, it doesn't work. You have to put on a mask to be accepted in this shallow, snobby society - and that goes for all facets of life, not just romance. Quoted for truth. I've spent my entire life... |

Fascinated... yeah, I used to stare at them for hours when I was a kid. Nowadays, though, I just forget they're there when stretching, and get my fingers bruised.  |

| Woot for fantasy/withdrawl! I never gave up my imaginary friend from youth, and it's nice to have someone to hold onto when feeling like you're slipping away, even if that someone is only in your mind. I look at it this way: which is more unhealthy? Having an imaginary friend that does not interfere... |

| It depends on the situation, really. Basically, how appropriate it feels in context. The violence in something like Saving Private Ryan doesn't bother me much, because war is pretty darned violent. The violence in Kill Bill is blatantly over-the-top and tongue-in-cheek, so it amused me more than any... |

The PS3 isn't out yet, and you're missing the Gamecube.
Console-wise, I play Gamecube and PS2, though I play my handheld (Nintendo DS) more often than the consoles, and I too have a l33t Powermac G5 I use for computer gaming. Yes, that's right, there is more than one mac gamer out there.  |

| I'm proud that I've managed to do as well as I have, and that I haven't lost the will to keep trying to do better. I'm also thankful for the benefits of AS that I seem to have. I feel I'd rather be as I am than 'normal,' and that's what counts. |

| I like it quite a lot (and currently sleep with 2 thick blankets) but I don't really need it. I do, however, tend to need at least more substantial pressure than a bedsheet, or I have that much more trouble sleeping. I actually think I know why this is, but I won't go into it here. |

No.
The girls who get the alimony are winners. |
