| You could put signs up in your neighborhood and have people come to your house to look at them, or go around offering door to door. In doing both you would have to endure the terrible experience of interacting with NT's.. Make signs for the pet stores (those that don't sell cats), veterinarians, an... |

Lego will never stop being awesome  .
None fo my obsessions are very 'childish' or even child oriented but I do still enjoy some children's literature (especially A.A. Milne's stories and poems- Milne has a very sly sense of humor that I didn't pick up on until I was an adult). |

Interesting. Elizabeth Bathory was her name. One strange character. I know man... |

| Today was the day I went for an Asperger's assessment, after anticipating it for 5 months.I don't currently have the results (the doctor is going to send them to me) but all day I've felt very uneasy about how it was conducted.

| While I have read all 7 HP books it's been some time and as such I couldn't compare book to film very accurately. That being said, I didn't mind this film. The various romances taking plot precedence annoyed me, however. I'm pleased to see Draco's character seeming less vampiric this time around. Fo... |
