Yes. This happens.
Don't allow it to let you feel poorly about yourself. It doesn't matter that she thinks that she is smarter, only that you are smarter. In fact. Not in opinion. |

Regarding the secon... |

| It does not treat the symptoms of AS. It does alleviate anxiety as a symptom. Unfortunately, if this is alleviated, then all of your oddness is on display. I do drink, so I know. Thankfully, my roommate is the only one who gets to see this. And he has commented on how certain behaviors become much, ... |

You have great interests but you have kept your list manageable. I would certainly date you although I probably would not initiate contact be... |

| I believe that the sensation of "wet" is actually a fairly specific combination of cold sensors and pressure sensors, so if those conditions are dually met whether internally or externally, it could create the illusion of a wet spot. |

| Which Fallout? Fallout 3 is my preference although I also enjoy Vegas. Fallout had previous incarnations; I assume you are not speaking of those? If you are speaking of 3/Vegas, I enjoyed it immensely and gladly sacrificed many hours of my life to it. I played it obsessively for some time and would ... |

I think I've seen that one.

Yes, your internal preference is for a later waking.
I can sleep less if I can sleep from before 11 PM to 12 AM and wake between 4-5 AM. But I work at a movie theatre, so that's impossible. Is your schedule open to change (go to work or school later)? |

Like the lyrics to that awful "Hey Soul Sister" that's too popular right now. They do NOT make a bit o' sense.
Really, that song needs to die. |
