Hi All,
I don't know about you all but I'm SO HAPPY that that horrible Christmas & New Year period is OVER. Routine was distrupted, just like it is EVERY year when services stop, and groups & clubs 'grind to a halt'.
Thankfully, now they are starting again!! !! !! HOORAY!! !! !!

THE TRAIN IS STARTING AGAIN.... "Choo Choo!! !!"

I choose the actor. I observe NT's. I listen to their socializing. I practice it, so in social situations I can just emulate/mimic what is expected.
It isn't natural for me, but it enables me to "fit in".
It is VERY tiring and draining, but at least we can appear like them even though it is an act. Like being on the stage.
They can't see it is emulation, and so we are accepted.

Definitely!

Btw, I did that celebrity lookalike thing from your profile. My top matches are Jason Statham and Peter O'Toole. Not entirely sure what to make of that. At least it makes me feel less fat. 8O

I don't know who those 2 famous people are, so will have to do some research.

I like your photosynthesis avatar :-) Very scientific!

I love all the days off work we get from Christmas to New Years. Now it's back to 5 days a week!
