2:00, this looks beautiful! Reminds me of a painting showing the profile view of the head of a dragon! :D

I'm still dwelling on why I didn't have any friends back in school. I always wonder why I was always called weird or always spoken to like a piece of s**t, and yet there was another Aspie in the school who got more socially accepted than I did. People in my class would rather hang out with her than me, although she did get teased by some of the boys when she had fits (she had Epilepsy aswell as Asperger's Syndrome).

I also dwell on other things, like a lot of weird or stupid things I did as a teenager.

I used to like lava lamps, and those gravity sand paintings, water fountains, and I love to watch clouds change shape.

This question reminds me of a joke: A blonde womans house caught on fire. She does just as she should and goes next door and calls 911. She's on the phone with the fireman they ask "how do we get to your house" she says "Duh big red truck"

Oh yes, I had such a gravity sand painting too and loved to rotate it and spectate how a new picture starts to take shape with some bubbles holding the sand up, this was just awesome! :D
Too bad the water vaporized over time. In the end it broke... :(

I guess I might buy a new one if I would know where to get them. I would like to choose one in the store rather than ordering such a thing online and not knowing how it behaves when turned or in what state it will arrive at home.
And yes, I like lavalamps as well, I never owned one though, but next to my old home was a plaza with a big store in which there was furniture, wall decoration, lamps and so on and there was a full shelve with lava lamps. I often went there to spectate them! There was also this electric ball thingy which I loved to touch and watch the little lightnings go to my fingertips. :D

There used to be a programmer where I worked who had one of those sand paintings at his desk. When we had meetings there I could not follow the conversation, because I'd get lost watching the sand change shape. I would have to position my chair facing a different direction if I wanted to hear what was said. It was mesmerizing. :D

Hehe, must have been an awesome programmer! :D

Nice video, AspieOtaku. Was fun to watch, interesting how the temperature difference formed those bubbles!. :D

I still dwell on medical knowledge (my adolescent special interest) from time to time. I was just reading up on cardiac arrhythmias.

That reminds me. I used to ruminate on the fact I was Disabled all day. It's how I got interested in medical biology. I exhausted myself eventually, and gradually stopped. Hopefully, that happens to you!

I know right? Imagine the brief milisecond upon contact between the ice and hot lava when it was extremely cold now gone and melted then hot then the lava cools and its frozen again!!Amazing!! !

I could watch lava videos for days!! ! It's absolutely fascinating!! I also get caught up in watching repetitive motions. I never get tired of it. Very calming and exhilarating at the same time!

Yes very fascinating if I was there I would sample and analize the chemical contents of the yellowish water on the right of the lava vs ice vid. Probably some sulphur in it.Omg soo cool *squeels and hand flaps*

Yes,running water like at the creek when the sun is shining on it and it sparkles,dust floating in a sun beam. When the sun light is at the right angle,the light on tree leaves moves like a Monet painting. love to watch smoke drift in a sun beam.Clouds forming,I probably look real stupid and zoned out.Oh well.
