Oops, it appears I have made a gaffe on this thread again. :oops: Sorry acacia.

No I'm afraid I'm not one for philosophy.

(I do have a feeling that Jose Mourinho might be an aspie though. The Football philosopher.)

Very hard to choose. Probably 2. It's just a very familiar, round, warm number to me.

What age would you like to live to? Why?

I'd like to live to be 900 years old along with my girlfriend. I'd like to have time to see things like visiting ancient ruins and monuments, see Mars finally be colonized, have an estate with dome houses. Possibly get as many PhDs as I can, in fields such as Chemistry, Physics, Latin, Ancient History, etc. Loads of stuff to do.




Same question.

If my health would allow it, I would like to live till I turn 96 (other than 4x24, it's quite a random number) but I doubt it that would happen.... still got this nasty smoking habit. As of why, maybe to compensate the time I lost not participating in life in the past. Or lost? I wrote, read, thought, played my piano, learned, draw stuff and painted a lot.

How many years now/ how long a time do you know you are an Asperger? (or another HFA one might be dx-ed with)

Really, I only considered myself to know I had Aspergers after I received my diagnosis. That was in March of this year. Before then, for worries that I was wrong, I didn't consider myself to have anything more than strong and persisting suspicions (which is about as close to thinking you know something as I suppose one can go without being certain).

The suspicions came about in 2007, when by chance I happened to find, whilst reading about the man, speculation that General Stonewall Jackson had aspergers. Since I didn't know what this Aspergers thing was, I had to look it up and I was all, "Wow, there's a name for that, for being like me?"

Would you tell us some fact you find interesting?

The botanical family Solanaceae includes plants which produce tasty foods, as well as deadly poisons.

Tomatoes, Potatoes, Peppers and Eggplants are just a few of the food plants from this family.
Datura, Deadly Nightshade, and Henbane are some of the poinsonous ones.

I find the apparent paradox intriguing.

Do you ever feel as if there some force or vague personality which leaves things for you to find?

Maybe I'm misreading here but I tend to be too logical to let such thoughts grow.... mostly they don't even exist in my head. (probably I didn't understand the question)

Looking back, childhood days.... what age was a happy carefree age for you?

I hate to admit this, but I don't think I ever had a stage of being carefree and happy. Well, not for a long prolonged period anyway.

What is your most vivid memory regarding your childhood?

The numerous injuries that I suffered due to clumsiness and obliviousness. Several trips to the emergency room. Lots of stitches. Physical trauma and shock forge vivid memories :?

i live in an old farm (it used to be a farm, it was empty the last 10 years before we bought it, we don't keep a farm though),
it has lots of stables, it's big but really primitive (and since were rather poor, it might remain so for a very long time) and it's my paradise

what would you like to live in if you have unlimited choise?

Wow, that's big! She actually said that.... when I showed her my right ear (revealing it by removing the hair covering it). Nah, sorry, another one of my bad jokes.

Nah, seriously, 'you must go to an art academy' (plus 'make your 2D creations a lot bigger'.... maybe not a compliment but wise advice indeed), said to me by a beautiful woman (twice my age then and an artist herself) when I showed her my 'portfolio' when I was around 20 y/o. (thank you again, Baroness Bobby van Tuyll van Serooskerken = Google hit plus one, probs)

How do react mostly to compliments given to you?

Very uncomfortably. Just the other day I ran into a cousin of one of my bosses who i had met breifly one time he came into our office. Was at a bar, luckily i was just leaving, but he started saying 'so tony told me you are soandso' (insert few compliments). And I was just confused, cause i panicked at the thought that i was being discussed, and I said something like "well, i guess if he says so" with probably a real confused look on my face lol. Later I felt good thinking about it, cause my boss was talking pretty highly of me according to his cousin, but I pretty much just went blank at the moment i was given them. It was doubly awkward cause they were i guess third person compliments lol, one person was telling me what someone else said, adding even more to the socially awkward situation of being complimented lol.

Same question.

I just say something like "Why, thank you," or "Oh, Okay."

How did you come up with your user name?

"I wanna blue" is something I used to say as a kid. I always preferred an object if it was blue. Not so much these days of course. I guess I felt the need of a little nostalgia when picking my username.

How would you rate your physical fitness and strength?

physical fitness: 5.5 out of 10
strength: 6.5 out of 10

I don't exercise nearly enough, and I am way out of shape.
However, my body type and muscle tone are as such so that I am pretty strong.

When is the last time you felt positively ecstatic about something?
