| I began speaking at the average age, I believe. I enjoy studying all languages, including my native tongue. Learning languages has always come easily to me, I think this is due to my mimicry skills (I have a lot of practice studying others to know how to behave appropriately, language is just one mo... |

| I have had this problem as long as I can remember...I have things I am interested in and want to WANT to do, but I can't seem to motivate myself to do or to even care in any measurable way. |

| I have a pretty high pain threshold as well. Along with that, I also do not bruise our bleed easily (blood draws take a ridiculous amount of time with me because I seem to flow slowly), so when I am hurt, there is usually no physical evidence to support me... |

| I am not much of a smiler, don't really show emotion most of the time, but I have a tendency to smile at inappropriate times, ie someone is telling me something sad. I am not smiling becauseI find the situation funny by any means, I don't really know what is behind the smile. I have to put a LOT of ... |

Die Hard hadn't occurred to me as an option, but it was recently pointed out to me that it is a minor tradition in my house to watch it after having decorated the tree. So, it belongs on my list as well.  yippe ki yay! |

You're right, Wilson is what made the scene sad for me as well. |

| I'd have to say Lawrence Kutner from House. I really liked Kutner. And even though I knew it was coming, that episode was still so sad. What was your saddest TV death? Kutner's death was sad, but Amber's (cut throat b***h's) death was incredibly poignant (even though I didn't care for her). The las... |

| Just left my first visit, seemed very basic. He asked why I was there (depression), then just went into patient history questions (lot of these).

When watching tv, I have to have other lights sources on to even out the brightness, just the tv on is too much. Fortunately, I live in the Pacific NW, the sun doesn't show it... |
