| I have a 3DS, but I can't seem to play it for more than half an hour or so before my eyes begin to hurt. Might just be me, but I always play it with the 3D turned off, which basically makes it a DS I suppose. I've also got an Xbox 360, but it's largely being used as a DVD player lately. It's a great... |

| I'm not entirely sure I understand what homosexuality specifically has to do with anything here, but i'll address the big pharma part. I understand, and to some extent agree that the business of profiting from peoples suffering is abhorrent. On the other hand, I have been depressed, and as much as I... |

I feel with my avatar picture, and the expression on her face so befitting what I imagine hers to be soon after saying "Nevermind", I have no option but to post here.
Also my guess is roast chicken. |

| That's a very unique art style, I really like it. Looking forward to being able to see what you do with it once you get some work completed. I also love the part where you outline the artists you would like to portray characters if the Mega Man comic became a cartoon, my "special interest", as much ... |

| I get the feeling this would only temporarily change a persons perspective. They might think about it the rest of the day, it might change their actions for a few days after that, but I don't believe it could have any true long term effects. Once the experiment is over with it depends wholly on the ... |

| a common solucition to this problem is to get tattoos over the scars. I have never deliberately cut myself, but I do have tattoo's that have gone over scars and you wouldn't know they were ever there at all. It's a very effective way of hiding them if you're interested in tattoo's. If you're more i... |

| In particular the part where you said you feel miserable around people seems pertinent to me, along with the fact your symptoms seem to be getting worse over a relatively short period of time. I'd be inclined to think this is more of a mood disorder rather than Aspergers, quite possibly depression b... |

Sure I have Aspergers, but there's more to all of us than just that one fact, and I think everything else that m... |

I practice breathing exercises so I am quite good at that, I normally breathe out again 30 seconds or more later as a result of the f... |
