| I am really quick to wipe food off my hands. Mostly I think the tendency comes from me being an artist and always having the impulse to keep my hands clean so the food won't stain my artwork. But the one thing that I really can't stand is having egg whites on my hands. It's just icky and it's gross ... |

I guess you could say my sound is a lot like Jonathan Edwards. Who had the hit anti-war song "Sunshine (Go Away)." |

I believe there is a god somewhere or somehow.

| There are SO many times that I will take something on the chin because I want to keep my Asperger's secret from people.

Oh my god, yes.
I definitely get nervous and anxious in social situations. I get so nervous that sometimes I simply cannot think and I just white out. |
