| I'm a guy, and I've worn skirts and dresses. It's really not as traumatizing as it's cracked up to be. |

| Yeah, although I can make it readable with enough concentration. It's probably because I don't naturally think about how another person will try to read it. For most of my schoolwork, I use an AlphaSmart or computer; backspace is extremely useful for correcting mistakes. |

There's a walk of the same kind in San Francisco on June 7th, and I'm thinking about protesting it in the following manner:
Finding the place where the walkers will start, sitting Indian-style in front of them, and staying there all day with steely resolve and a mean face. |

| Nolix%Uul is a fantasy novel that my NT friend and I are working on. Before you read it, if you do, let me tell you a few things: Despite what the top of the page declares, it isn't a fan-fiction. It isn't set on earth. It involves some violence and other teenage themes. (I say "teenage" rather than... |

| Strangely enough, I'm great at writing dialog. When I first started co-writing a fantasy novel with my NT friend, I did the dialog while he did the fight scenes. If you know your own characters, chances are you know how they talk and what they say. |

Perhaps you're so attractive that men don't think they can even hope to get with you. Of all the excuses to be unintentionally single, that has to be one of the best.
Maybe you're not flirting enough? Doing so doesn't come naturally to us aspies. |

| There's no correlation between being NT and liking randomness. I like it sometimes, and so do some (not all) NTs. It's hard to make truthful generalizations about NTs; there's just too many of them. |

| The quality of dancing is far too complex to express in one dimension; it's more than just good or bad. It's an art. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and no two people have the same exact vantage point. But when you're dancing, concentrate impressing the pair of eyes that matter the most: Your ... |

I've never had a girlfriend, but I have plenty of friends who are girls. With one of them, I'm currently in a relationship that is best described thusly:
"We're just friends . . . who kiss . . . a lot . . . with our tongues."  |

| Yeah, I mistook obsession for romance more than once before I learned about AS. Recently, I told a girl I've been hooking up with that I'm obsessed with her. She responded by suggesting we exchange numbers. We did, and we've firmly established that we are friends who make out but aren't in love. |

| You know, you could probably reduce the damage just by dropping the sticks and fist-fighting instead. The "Don't hit girls" double-standard is really a shame; the potential for bloodlust and happy murder is plentiful in both sexes. I do a similar thing on the weekends with etha-foam swords that bare... |

| I partied last night, without the aid of mind-altering substances. Everyone was, in one way or another, a geek, so I was in my element. We watched anime, talked, ate pizza, went to a park, hung out there, came back, and became a puppy pile. In the last 15 minutes, about half of us took off our shirts. |
