| Do you guys have this problem? Like, I'll have left-overs one night, and want to eat them the next day (or the day after). So I'll put them in the fridge, only to forget about them and be reminded a week or two later when my roommate asks "dude, are you going to eat this?" By that time it's obviousl... |

| Yeah, I use those often. I do so intentionally or un-intentionally simply because I haven't thought of anything to say. Often with anything like decisions and so on. It signals a pause for thought and its normal, people often get annoyed that I need time to think over even the most mundane of thing... |

| I just realized that I intentionally use "um" and "uh" when I'm talking to... I dunno, sound normal? An example would be when I go to order something at a fast food place. My "script" has "um" and "uh" in it. So I'd say something like "I'd like uhhh... X please". And that "uh" would be there every s... |

| My "alternative" views: I like short hair over long hair. AFAIK most people prefer the opposite. Optimally I'd prefer short hair with two long pony-tails (sometimes called twintails). Something like this: http://tokyofashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Twintails-Converse-Harajuku-Station-2012-04-... |

| Cartoon/Drawn/Fictional characters are supposed to resemble real people. That's the point. If people are unable to see these drawings as other humans/people, then they would not be able to grasp the story being told. That said, an attraction to such is perfectly normal. Personally, for me, I find it... |

| Nope. Though I didn't really have any problems with school. I just followed instructions, did the work, and read when I was done (this mostly :D ). I always had top marks. But then again, I grew up in a small area, and my parents don't "believe" in any sort of non-physical disorders. So that might b... |

| I have to say I'm a night person. Though I actually enjoy early morning (like 4-6am) the most. But I get into this horrible cycle of staying up until 4am (it's 3:13am right now) and then sleeping until past noon. |

| I'm pretty much interrupted by everyone, including my own family. I can't get two words out without someone interrupting and if I try to go on I get yelled at for interrupting. What? I decided to keep track of when this happens. And I found it interesting that there's a "speaking order" of sorts. It... |

| I used to wear sunglasses as a kid, but I lost interest after I realized I was generally okay and I didn't like carrying them around. Headphones on the other hand I use all the time. I have a closed pair (noise canceling and such) that I use when I go outside and walk. I put on whatever music I feel... |

Then I will attempt to force a fake smile, and I remember doing this my whole life. Anyone here a natural smile... |

| I probably can't ride a bike. I've only ever done it as a kid when I was "taught" by my parents. Never really rode it either. Haven't touched a bike since. Swimming I'm okay at. Not the greatest, but I can get across a pool. Can't tread water though. |
