| I don't want to run around blabbing about it or anything. But I feel as if it's something that my parents and close friends should know about. Maybe even a couple of ex-girlfriends with whom I'm on good terms. I feel as though they have a right to know, even if it just comes out as "Hey guys, this i... |

| Yeah, I started to speak very early as well. I didn't do it a whole lot, but I was certainly capable (and usually a smartass when I did). |

| I can't sit down and work at a desk. I need to work with my hands. You get this kind of tunnel vision when you're working on a project. Pieces of wood also don't care if you have no interest in talking to them (even though you usually do). |

| Moving out was one of the most beautifully difficult things I've ever done. I don't know how I did it, but it involved dropping out of school, finding a job, and finding a place that would take someone with no credit history whatsoever. I live with a close friend who knew already how out-of-the-ordi... |

| That would be me. I don't listen to them very often anymore--I'm more of a classical geek now, in my old age--but I still have the entire Maiden CD catalog on my shelf. (Even No Prayer for the Dying and the Blaze Bayley stuff.) Seventh Son and Dance of Death are my favorites. And the Live After Dea... |

| I never cared for the stuff. I'm a synesthete, and since it tends to intensify the world around me, sound and light get kinda ouchy. I don't like the kinesthetic end of it, either. I'm also more withdrawn than usual when I smoke, so there's really no use in using it for me. |

| Why the hell not, I'll go a few years back. My parents tell me that I was an unusually quiet baby. I became articulate at a very early age and had an early-onset affinity for literature. But nonetheless, I never really said much. I liked to play with blocks, building little towns and all that. I'd s... |
