My dad is a genealogist so I know all about my family. My ancestors were all child laborers or female workers who came down to the Lowell mills from Canada. My great-grandmother spoke French. My great-grandfather worked in the Navy shipyards when he was 16-17 (in the late 30's, I think), but he quit...

Ay, no. I'm fascinated by the justice system, and a lot of the time I want to genuinely believe that people are trying to help... but then stuff like this happens. On another note, how does one become a "torturer"? Who do they pay to hurt other people like that? What kind of person could p...

Ah ah ah, oh man this happens to me all the time... I had a huge aesthetic appreciation (wow that sounds weird) of a kid in my 8th grade class. It's really normal to think people are pretty without having any other feelings for them. If it was romantic love, I think, you'd notice how he made you fee...

A paracosm is an imaginary world. They are really neat! My brother and I, who are both on the autism spectrum, both have paracosms. He has had his since he was very small, but mine showed up when I was in 8th grade and sad. Middle Earth is the paracosm of J. R. R. Tolkien, and the Bronte sisters had...

Aw, man, this happens a lot in online relationships! Maybe your friend is just paranoid, or worried about online predators. A lot of the time, I think people get tired out talking online, 'cause they can't see a person's face. It can be confusing and hard and sometimes it must seem like it's not wor...

Hey, hey, hey, ladies and gentlemen and all those betwixt! I'm Maxwell! I like detectives and aliens! And theater of the absurd. And Shakespeare. I appreciate honesty, genuineness, and character in humans. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with Non-Verbal Learning Disorder. A mild case, apparently, tha...
