| I considered this. But mom would figuratively kill me for it. She hates chaos. Needs everything tidy... It would magically change back to tidy now even if I'd mess it up, I think. It's been all chaotic for months now though. I decided upon trying. There's no real choice. If it comes to a clothes wa... |

Dear you,
You know who you are.
There's something I'd like to say,
Something I've already written,
but I'm not entirely sure how it would be received,
so I can't decide whether I should post it here,
or just tell you. |

| For example: The word "Atheist". In vernacular, everyday speech, most people interpret the word to refer to a person who believes that there is no god (i.e. a belief, or assertion, of a negative), whereas almost every writer, philosopher, etc. who calls him/her self an "Atheist", actually holds clo... |

| Technically: yes. When talking to the average person, I'd say: no. Vernacular speech often differs from the specialized mini-languages that develop in certain subcultures or highly specialized academic fields. For example: The word "Atheist". In vernacular, everyday speech, most people interpret the... |

| I think in monologue. I talk silently to myself in lonely soliloquy. Here's a quick glimpse into my world. I love people. I hate people. I love people. They say that people with Asperger's have no desire for social interaction. Ludicrous! Oh, to be sure -- I cherish and require plenty of alone time ... |
