I like Harry Potter but fair enough. He has inspired me to create my character 'Great Uncle Manfred', a fictitious relative and magician. I am currently writing a spoof autobiography of him.

I like to eat string cheese before bed to see what happens.

That "Mexican music" that I listened to at the ages 11 and 12 was actually Schlager music. No wonder my dad gave me a stare every time he said, "And a little bit of German." every time he told my sister and I about our British heritage.

The Whale Bay theme from Diddy Kong Racing reminds me of an old Kinks song from 1966.

Like my co-workers, I hate it when a rude customer shows up and tries to make a mess of everything.

I'm still a heart aspie after all these years.

I did not thought about making non-romantic, non-sexual friends as a child, maybe even at all, if I remember it well.

Digimon named Gatomon looks very sweet, nice, cute for me. It looks like a... kitty. Somewhat anthropomorphic kitty.

I think that a cat's muzzle can be a very nice thing to look at!

I know Polish phrase "mieć kota w głowie" (literally: "to have a cat in the head"), which literally means: "to be crazy, mad, kooky, nutty, mentally unwell".

I still can have problems with writing larger posts and messages in the Internet. Maybe it is due to quetiapine (an anti-psychotic drug)? I have to take 100 mg of quetiapine daily (which is not so much), at evening. Since about a year.

I'm constantly writing but I'm very shy and reluctant to share anything I write with anyone but a couple close friends who also are fic writers.

I can't tell if I seem more autistic on here than in real life or if I'm just more self-aware when I can read what I say.

I write, but I will never let anyone read my stories, ever. In fact, if I have warning before I die (like if I develop a fatal condition or something), probably the first thing I’ll do is destroy all my writing so I know no one will read it.

If you don't want people to read your stories, they are probably good. This makes me curious :wink:

Emily Dickinson wrote thousands of poems. Only maybe a dozen of them were published in her lifetime. She wrote pretty well.

I'm constantly working things out in my mind. Yesterday, I worked out that it doesn't matter whether I'm "cool" or not. All that matter is that my head's on straight and my heart's in the right place.

I have my moments of eloquence, but they just make the rest look even worse by comparison :oops: I think my main problem is that my stories feel extremely personal (although they aren’t directly so, not actually about the real me or anything) and therefore I’m terrified to put them up for judgment. I might consider sharing little snippets of the good stuff, if I have some that might make any sense without the rest of the story there.

I also jump from place to place in my stories, writing different scenes completely out of order as they come to me, and have trouble joining them together. I have stories I’ve been working on on and off for years (one even since high school), but I’ve never even come close to actually finishing anything.

I'd like to be able to play Smash Bros. Melee on a professional level, but I am really bad at it because of my coordination and reaction time issues. Seeing other autistic people become really good at the game after being considered bad at first encourages me though.

I like to run. Sometimes when I'm running I think about being in the zombie apocalypse and stabbing zombies in the head. I'm not sure what that says about my psychology. 8O
