| Seems reasonable to me. If it's what you mostly were influenced with, it would probably "rub off" on you. I'm certainly no psychologist or anything, I'm just going by observation and what I've heard or read about with respect to behavior overall. 'm pretty much nothing like my family, though it IS p... |

| Eh probably not a bad thing, though people have told me all my life stuff like "Nobody wants to talk about computers all the time!" and "Why do you always talk about computers?" or even told me to stop talking to them overall. The way it seems to work for me is I have had the long term (pretty much ... |

| Hehe, I figure most people do this, seems like a reasonable mistake to do sometimes. I've done this a couple times. I've even had instances where which bathroom was which was completely ambiguous (or at least not detectable in any way I could see.). I've even returned to the wrong classrooms or even... |

| So are there any others here who are really into command lines? Yep, do almost everything at it. The only things I don't do are file organization when it involves a lot of stuff I'm not sure of. It's a bit easier in a GUI to kinda look over files, especially when there're previews right on the icon... |

| Well, I actually took the test now and got exactly 50 WPM net speed and 98% accuracy. Kinda surprised about the accuracy, but 50 WPM is kinda slow. I hear of many people getting 80~100 or more WPM. I should be a LOT better based on how much I type and spend time on the computer. I think if it's comi... |

| People have told me my photos look like a blank stare or like I'm not really focused on the camera or anything in the room (as if in deep thought.). When I was younger I'd try to smile and always looked really ret*d because it was always so fake... I was never really in to smiling for the hell of it... |

| Hmm, I can relate to a lot of the stuff people here have said. People have often complained about me doing things too slowly, but I just try to make sure it's right. Also dexterity/hand-eye coordination could certainly be better, so that slows things way down if I have to do something physical. Of c... |

Or I'd read things in stores and the person I was with would just leave me while I'm focused on what I'm reading. I hated that so much. I'd also read stuff in the shower and stuff or i'd read signs aloud driving pe... |

It's uninteresting and nobody ever messages me.
Other than that, just the stuff people here have said. |

Well, based on what I've read, yes.
As for me, yeah. Always been clumsy as hell. Never really cared for sports or physical activity. I tend to drop stuff a lot or trip on myself. |

| Don't know if I ever did it at night, but when I was younger, probably 4~10, I liked to do it because it felt good. It wasn't really badly frequent or prolonged, so there was never any sort of damage associated with it. |

I used to like kate, but it was kinda buggy and did some weird things, and I have a mostly GTK+ desktop and I kinda prefer the things to match a bit (not ridic... |
