This happens to me all the time when I'm in a group setting. I'll be listening to someone talk and I'll come up with a question or comment in my head in response to something they said. It'll be like the words are right there, ready to flow, but then the person either continues on for too long or s... |

You Communicate Passionately You speak from the heart. You can't separate your feelings from what you're saying, even in a professional context. You tend to speak dramatically, with lots of passion and emotion. It's easy for you to get swept up in what you're saying. You like to connect with people ... |

I'm very sensitive to heat. I get headaches and dizziness. Recently I had 5 days straight of feeling dizzy and had a few headaches. As soon as I get a headache I take a painkiller so I don't always remember when I have them. Once I was outside in the heat for a few minutes and I swear it felt like ... |

I really think my vision problems got worse during a computer course. My optometrist says I have tired eye muscles. I get migraines too. I had a really bad one on a really hot day, in an even hotter venue watching really loud bands play live. I welcomed death that day. I have gotten migraines for a... |

As of yet I have not been diagnosed with Asperger's, but I have always struggled with depression. However anti-depressants made me want to kill myself within two weeks so I stopped taking them. I was diagnosed with dysthymia at some point but the doctor never talked to me about it. I just recently f... |

YES. I hate the way my voice sounds, and I also look younger than I am. I'm almost 36, and I still get carded for cigarettes. Others always say I'm lucky, I'll be glad when I'm older and look "younger than my years". They don't realize people treat you with less respect when you look like a teenage... |

Wow that is trippy. I looked at the still frames of it and then went back to the spinning picture. I covered half of it with my hand at a time. The right half is moving clockwise, the left moves counterclockwise. Sorry if this is totally obvious to everyone else...I just like analyzing things and br... |

I remember in elementary school I would scrape the paint off of my pencils and I really liked the feeling of breaking them in half. It wasn't a violent thing, I just liked how the pencils felt when they bent and snapped. I don't remember anyone pointing it out as a problem and I pretty much just gre... |

I have the same problem. I think the root of it may be that people have trouble telling if we are serious or not. Having a monotone voice and/or lack of (appropriate) facial expressions and body gestures may be the biggest reason for this. No matter how well you mimic the actions that were successfu... |

You Are 40% Lady
You tend to make up your rules of etiquette, throwing all conventions aside.
And while you try to be a lady (sometimes), your behavior is often quite shocking. |

First and foremost I have been addicted to RPGs since I was about 11 or 12 years old. My favorite series are Suikoden and Final Fantasy. I also enjoy adventure (Thief, Tomb Raider, Beyond Good & Evil, Fable), exploration (Myst), and some of the sillier just-run-around-and-collect-things games (J... |
