| I can't drive and never intend to learn. When in a car I get terrified when going at more than 30mph (except on motorways when I am fine up to around 50mph. I tend to cling onto my seatbelt whenever I get slightly scared in a car ie. almost the whole time. I'm sure I would do this even if I was in t... |

I was ranked about 200th in dungeoneering at level 64 before I stopped doing it (being forced to duo with level 138s when you are in the 90s be... |

| 1. Interesting this. I once got a huge "dishonesty" score on a personality test because I put that I didn't tell lies... This one does hold true to me. 2. DEFINATELY true. 3. Questionable. I find that I do tend to judge others a lot, although probably not in the same way as most do. Like I tend to a... |

| I generally tend to warn people the first time I meet them that I won't learn/remember their names for the first few meetings because I am bad at remembering them. Gets you off the hook for the first few times, and after that people tend to assume that you know and just never use it. As for faces, I... |

| For as long as I can remember I have been like this too. Usually they are either related to a book I've read/game I've played recently (I like games with good storylines), or else they are set in a post-quasi-apocalyptic world. I'm not entirely sure where that came from, but I suspect it is from whe... |

About a week later Wizards of the Coast stopped selling MTG cards in the UK completely. They have since started up again but there are no stores wit... |

| A quote from the BBC artical: One variant, linked to a gene called CDH10, was so common - present in over 65% of cases of autism - that the researchers calculated that fixing it would cut the number of autism cases by 15%. Fixing? What does "fixing" involve? Because I can only think of two possibili... |

| I don't tend to stay up late. Quite the opposite in fact, in that I usually find myself to be the first one to bed at night, and the first one up in the morning. Of course, if I get lost in something I am doing I can find myself staying up so late that it is getting light by the time I start to drop... |

You Are 4% A Child of the 90s
The 90s aren't a time you remember too well.
Either you missed most of those years, or you were on some pretty good drugs!
^ and I was born in 1990
Not American though so half the stuff I couldn't have ever heard of probably. |
