You "flip your lid" and throw your shoes at the ceiling whenever your housemate upstairs

All your internet bookmarks are neatly organized, but your apartment looks like a tornado just struck. :oops:

Substitute 'house' for 'apartment' and it's the same here.

You write a list of all the countries of the world and their capitals when you're bored or suffer from insomnia.

YMBAAI you take 9catmom up on the challenge... without any Wikipedia, etc, to see how many of the approx 300 (IIRC) countries in the world you can name....

(US of)America, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, (the fiddly ones in the middle).
Iceland, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Poland, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Malta, Monaco, Lichtenstein, Vatican, Andorra.
Russia, (all the bits of what was USSR and I can't again be sure which are now separate countries or not).
Algeria, Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Sudan, Egypt.
South Africa, All those places in Africa that seem to change their names too often for me to keep up.
Australia, New Zealand, Java, Borneo, India, Pakistan, Nepal, China, Taiwan, Japan, Cambodia, Vietnam, Korea.

Well... that's my quick 50. Not very impressive. Not even 50% of the land masses, I guess.

YMBAAI you think that "too stupid to live" should be a legally acceptable cause of death.

YES! Or if there's a bookstore/pet store with animals in it that you might be able to bribe whoever is taking you to go and see.

You might be an Aspie if...

-Your bookshelf is organized but your socks don't match.
-You think wearing socks with sandals is no big deal.
-You go to the library between classes to organize the books for fun.
-You know what the word 'antidisestablishmentarianism' means.
-You know the Latin name for the word Banana (or other random Latin names).
-You know that the raptors in the movie Jurassic Park were at least twice the size of the real thing.

God, so glad I'm not the only one who gets this... I also get phases where I look at a word and it just looks so...wrong and strange

I get that too. Then I repeat it out loud for a while. It's the most random words too. Like couch or wall or cheese.

I do that too. Sometimes I say a word over and over until it starts to break down in my head and it starts to sounds weird. Then I wonder how we ever came up with that word for that thing/ meaning.

You know there are a lot of historical inaccuracies in sports movies such as "Chariots of Fire" because you know a lot about Olympic track and field athletics.

You think "Chariots of Fire" is nothing but a bunch of cliches, but you buy the movie anyway
because you like the music.

I think it might have been a much better movie if they had focused on all the great runners of the era, not just the British runners. That was the era of Paavo Nurmi and the Finnish ascendancy in track and field. There were also a lot of great American athletes in that era.

I find that The First Olympic Games: Athens, 1896 is a much better movie for that reason. Athletes from the United States, Australia, and Greece were spotlighted and their stories told.

Shouldn't that be 1896 and not 1986???
