| I have adored singing ever since I was old enough to produce such sounds with my vocal chords. I had my own little karaoke machine at one point, though I sure managed to find the motivation to sing without it, too.

I have a tendency to do this whenever I am stressed, overwhelmed, bored, or listening to music, but I rock very subtly when I am in public to the point that nobody seems to notice. It is, in fact, very relaxing.  |

| I have a hypothesis that many people with an autistic spectrum disorder (or any other neurological or psychological state that is conducive to social awkwardness, for that matter) seldom, if ever, really feel as though they are "in place" with others. People often speak of those who relate well to e... |

My father still thinks that I do not know where he hid my present, but I, in fact, Dixie him open the closet door and stuff it under the spare towels.

| *offers virtual hug* You have every right to dislike your circumstances; life has its cruelties about it, and one cannot be faulted for noticing and being affected by such.
