I have in the past. I distributed two cassettes. One was strictly noisecore. The other was noisecore with a lot of circuit-bending. I often wonder if any copies will remain intact long enough to leave a fossil record of my existance on this planet.

Where I come from, waving and gesticulating with the hands is refered to as "speaking Italian" or "Italian sign language".

Just don't do it while driving.

I am susceptible to a "meltdown" when I think the remedy to a situation is blatantly obvious and the person who is supposed to solve the problem wants to do everything but the obvious or wants to do nothing at all, or lies and says they are doing something while they are actually not doing anything....

With AS, it can be difficult for us to take controll of a situation or make ourselves do things that we need to do. At other times, we fly off the handle and totally over-control a situation. If you manage to get yourself to the ER again and they refuse you medical care, it might be time to fly off ...

When I was in 3rd grade, I was prescribed Ritalin. My OCD went through the roof. Not only did I "collect" facial tics, I also prayed constantly. Not any significant prayers. Just blathering or reciting written prayers I had memorized.

People are relentlessy self-centered. No amount of resentment on your part is going to fix that in the world. Unfortunately, it is very difficult for us to adjust our expectations so we are not disappointed by the behavior of others. I stayed in a rage for three days because my housekeeper threw out...

I drank every day for 25 years. Most of the time it was great. It didn't solve my problems; it just "disolved" them. I would forget to feel like I didn't fit in. But the last couple years were more like a contest with the bottle. Am I going to avoid it or drink it today? I'm going to drink it? Okay,...

Some tropical island. Hawaii is nice, but too many people and crazy religions everywhere.
Actually, stranded alone on a tropical island would be perfect, if I had my needs met.

Hope burns eternal personally I'm all out of hope (in a good way) I like to call it "Hope-Free". I've never really done the "dating thing". I meet someone; if we get along great, we move in together. It usually lasts two or three years. I think the notion that all relationships are meant to last a ...

Its traditional. You get used to it. My wife and I shared the bed for most of our marriage. There were issues, but we both slept pretty well most of the time. She snores. I'm a sleepwalker. She flip-flops in her sleep. I can't have my fingers/hands touching any part of my body. She has a "wave machi...

I was diagnosed with ADD/HD as a kid, then OCD, Anxiety, Depression, etc. That was in the 70s. Age 7 or 8. Now my doctor agrees its probably Aspergers and says there is no advangage in a rediagnosis. How do I feel about AS in my 40s? There's just a new name for the same problems I've dealt with all ...

I make lots of weird noises, though mostly when I am alone. Alot of whistling, clicking, chirping, some James Brown-like vocalizations (like Heh!). Also humming "symmetrical music".

I also talk in funny voices or mimmic people spontaneously.
Most people don't like it.

I never grew out of mine, but I really don't pay attention to it. When I think of numbers, they're all different colors, as are letters, the days of the week, months, musical notes, etc. Their respective colors have remained constant all my life. The only negative side of it is trying to explain it ...

I went through many years of testing and diets and doctors and "guinea-pig" treatments (I was a Ritalin test case) and it was ABSOLUTE HELL. A couple years later when I was being physically abused outside the home, I wouldn't tell my parents because I thought it would mean more of that type of treat...

This is OCD-like: If I touched on shoulder, the other HAS to be touched as well. I have heard things like this are common with OCD, which I have. I have the touch-symmetry thing too. When I was on Ritalin, I picked up so many little tics and tricks that it looked like I was break-dancing, when all ...

Building things.
