| A person shouldn't have to worry about how others will perceive you with or without tattoos. Tattoos are a personal artform whose purpose is one main thing -- to please the wearer. I got my first tattoos when they hadn't quite gone mainstream. It felt really weird sitting in the work chair (an old t... |

| I have recently begun writing a horror anthology that I intend to publish. At least that's my goal. I have scraped together some stories I had worked on in past years and added new material. So far, I have 22,000 words written among the selections. Anyway ... I wanted to analyze why I got into horro... |

| I write fictional horror stories. I am currently working on an anthology. About social interaction with characters, yes, that can be challenging for me --- trying to sound logical about what is going on in the other characters' minds. For that reason, I find it easier for me to write in third person... |

| Do I resent being autistic? No. But I surely can't say that would be my answer if I had lived circumstances that others have experienced on the spectrum. I know others have been bullied ... I didn't experience that. I know others failed to find support ... I didn't have that challenge. Special inten... |

| I still find "magical" aspects about the special interests I had as a child such as roller coasters. I used to live and breathe roller coasters ... all the way through college. As I matured as an adult, I didn't spend as much time with researching and riding them. However, something else s... |

| I have a vivid memory when I was very young of being snuggled in-between my parents on a sectional couch in our living room. There was a bad storm with much thunder, lightning, and wind. The lights went out. I often discussed this memory with my parents as a youngster, and they were amazed I could r... |

| It might include the ability to interact socially with other people or in large groups. I don't like large gatherings. I hardly ever feel like I belong in them. I often compare a large gathering as feeling like I am trying to penetrate a brick wall. A mildly autistic person may be able to come acros... |

| I would love to be able to jump into old photographs and relive some wonderful moments from my childhood. Wouldn't that be neat, to be able to spend a day or two in one's past? And then after returning to the present, one could jump into another photograph whenever the mood calls for it. On occasion... |

| I sometimes watch the scene of Mary Henry driving her car into the night and seeing the ghostly Herk Harvey (the director) appear beside and before her car in the 1962 black and white thriller, Carnival of Souls. |
