I still have high hopes that one day that I will successfully stop eating meat so I can become a vegetarian.

I enjoyed watching Legally Blonde 2!

I have freckles on my eyelids and my lips (as well as the more usual places like cheeks and arms).

I've never gotten very good at any instrument because I only need to be good enough to play my own music. It's hard to commit to becoming more practised than that.

My brain is like a TV that has many channels that are constantly being changed by a bored person on the couch. It switches so fast that I get the full plot of what is playing on those channels.

R = respect ~ NPD
C = cerebral (adrenaline averse), S = somatic (adrenaline seeking)

I am ECUC/S (cusp cerebral/somatic)

I much prefer vanilla ice cream with Ovaltine (a malted chocolate milk powder) on it over regular chocolate ice cream.

I don't understand the concept of loneliness because I am a loner.

Oh well..

Truth: My eyes are "as blue as the ocean". Apparently.

When I was a kid, at some point (probably during fifth grade, because I think it was my fifth-grade teacher who said I had “chameleon eyes” that changed color) my eyes changed from green to a slightly grayish blue. I remember one time looking in the mirror and noting how bright green my eyes were, but we have a picture of me with bright blue eyes when I was only a little older. Since I can’t remember my eyes ever being green since I was a kid, I’m guessing that either it was a one-time change or it took my eyes a while to decide on a color and eventually decided to stick with the gray-blue.

I also happen to be able to move my eyes in two different directions like a chameleon, although my brain has trouble interpreting both images at once. What at least got me started in training my eyes to do this is that I have congenital Brown’s syndrome, which essentially means that I can’t look up with one eye but the other eye will go all the way up anyway (mostly it’s just a cool thing to freak people out with, it doesn’t interfere with my vision much at all unless I deliberately do that), and eventually I learned that I could just kind of park my unaffected eye up so far it can’t really see and then move my other eye wherever I want to while the one stays put.

Another fun fact about me is that congenital Brown’s syndrome more commonly affects the right eye, but my affected eye is the left.

In another life, I would've posted something like this:

This is a Movie Review
A Fellow Autistic's blog that contains some inappropriate language
Yeah, well, an international Pageant participant


SPOILER ALERT: It doesn't accommodate US and EU terms -- issues, political agendas and the like. :nerdy:
Some may not even translatable to English...

Why not post these on a regular, even if it's pro-ND? :lol:
This is a foreigners' take, from foreigners' data, through the foreigners' core values and priorities.
These things don't reach the agendas of the West.


My intention stands:
I came here to learn terms, not spread terms. :twisted: And kill time.

When I had the anesthesia for getting my wisdom teeth out, which is famous for making people act funny, I was boring - I just kept asking what time it was because I couldn’t focus my eyes on my watch.

When I have to get a throat swab to check for strep, my reflex is not to gag. Instead, I literally have to sit on my hands to keep from trying to pull it out. It’s just as much a reflex as gagging, my hands will just automatically go up and try to pull the swab out.

The age difference between myself and my favourite female singer and the age difference between myself and my least favourite female singer is the same amount of years but they weren't born in the same year.

I have problems with writing longer posts in the Internet last times. Maybe it is a symptom associated with poor executive functioning?

I still have never driven a car. I don't like coronavirus pandemic. In my locality there is much lower number of buses than a year ago due to restrictions associated with SARS-CoV-2. I have no job since above 18 months.

I worked with different fruits (like strawberries, currants, cherries) quite a lot last weeks. I like things associated with them such as picking. It can give me enjoyment and reduces the amount of time spent on handwriting and surfing in the Internet or watching TV.
