I was told that by my school counselor/psychiatrist person. She asked me if I loved my mom and I said to her "I wouldn't know what love is, I mean...I like, or love, my mom. If she died, surely she would be missed...but I don't understand this question. What does love mean? I'm sure I love her, but ... |

I was too busy learning the Dao of Ninja Turtles and Transformers
I do recall questioning the historicity of Jesus and the Bearded Man Upstairs, during my elementary years. Certainly wasn't at age 5, I don't think. |

lol, I apologize. My brain fried itself. I meant Far-Left. For some reason my mind for a second thought "Extreme conservative" which somehow changed to Far-right. It always happens.  |

Usually by being myself. ex: P: "Your problem is that you are not in-tune with your emotions. There is no connection." M: "Yes, it is because I do not care. Well, I mean I try to, but I just don't know how. I mean, I would like to, or I thought I was. I...uhh...I...I don't know if I am caring or not... |

I'm intolerant of the hip-hop/rap culture...and far-right liberalism.
I do consider myself fairly tolerant. |

I have a hard time getting along with people I even like. I'm sure I'd get annoyed to hell by "Aspergians" just as much as I would with "NTs". I even annoy myself. :? I've dropped any feelings of shame. Embarrassed? I am not sure if it's embarrassment or just self-consciousness. Can they mean the sa... |

On myself? No...I don't like food on my skin. It would make me sick, like when viewing the Springer show and I see gravy or whatever being poured onto the guests...eww.
I wouldn't mind whip cream on a significant other but I sure as hell am not going to pour Mushroom soup on the broad. |

I am a chronic insomniac. What I did to get myself to a "proper" schedule was to force myself to stay awake until I fell asleep at a proper time, and to remind others to wake me up at a certain time. Lately, I've been sleeping too much. Strange. I go to bed at 8-10 pm and wake up at 7-8. Yesterday I... |

What's wrong with doing donuts on the parking lot?
Other than wearing down tires and clutch
It takes skill to plant a decent "donut." Ahh...burning out requires grace.

I love monasteries. I find them peaceful, and I went through a 2-3 month passion of wanting to join (become ascetic). In the end I decided to return to school. Ugh...very stressful. |

I do know people who are merely a pain. For example if my sandwich comes out and its got onions on it and I said no onions I just pick them off. Things happen. I have a friend who no amount of tips could make up for all the petty greif he causes. Don't sweat the small stuff. Eh, on the food thing, ... |

Ugh, I very much disliked my female boss. It's like she was on a mission to prove to the world "I CAN DO ANYTHING!" Yes, you can even make people hate you. I get it. |

When I'm invited to people's homes (doesn't happen a lot), and get offered food, I usually feel uncomfortable because I have these issues with eating. I'm very picky with food and I get this anxiety about food I'm not comfortable with, but I'm afraid people might think I'm a jerk if I don't accept ... |

It's only natural to make assumptions. Hell, I make assumptions every day (sometimes trivial like assuming there'd be no traffic) I am often quick to misinterpret, but I try not to let it get to me because I think it wasn't what the person meant. Nevermind other people. No matter how much I try to e... |
