| So... I'm still not sure if it's the only avenue one can find a relationship in, since my first wasn't at all there or anywhere to be expected (here 8O), but technologically it is the only place... and, I suppose, unless someone else swipes first, but even then I'd need to reciprocate or most free s... |

| I love cats no matter where they come from... and I'm seriously hoping I can get a ragdoll at some point in the future because they look so fluffy and angelic... but two is enough right now, both seem to be on heat too...

| Oh, I wouldn't put those two in the same category... I've always loved cats, ever since one rubbed herself while waiting for a bus in primary school... but no, 'children' right now give me more grief than anything, mostly because the council is so oblivious to any sensible designs that, without even... |

| Funnily, my ex had anger problems too, but internalized as opposed to taken out on others which I'd absolutely not tolerate after my experience with my parents... so, my relationship with my ex wasn't perfect, he wasn't, but, as I mention in the happiness thread, I was still happy... I'm still not s... |

| Things go wrong, sure, and sometimes they often do, and all at once... and then there is the crushing loneliness. Now, I've dealt with the latter for at least the past six years constantly, so I'm kind of used to it... at one point I was always on the verge of freaking out, and before I was allowed ... |

| So, I was wondering about this while in a bath. It's related to the spectrum, of course, since 'auto-' means 'self', and so, alone... now while most autistic people seem fine in a world of their own as I've observed once... being stuck in between is, to say the least, annoying, isn't it? I keep thin... |

With regards to physical metamorphosis, it's kind of an extension ... |

| As far as I've read Adderall is purely stimulant. I haven't tried it myself, so don't know if it might have entactogenic qualities, or perhaps it does in a few people, but as far as I know to have such effects dopaminergic agonists need to be combined with serotonergic ones. |

| Aren't they just the perfect fit for people on the spectrum? I mean, alcohol can act as a 'lubricant', sure, but it can also make one vomit and/or stumble upon the person one wants to talk to. But entactogens... they were made for people to talk with each other... stimulants alone may go too much in... |

Such is the nature of artificial systems... ... |
