Emotional outburst make me feel extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed, I quite often have to remove the offending individual from my line of sight. Such displays often cause the same sensation when I experience sensory overloads. I'm a terrible comforter!  |

| It's 06:23 here, and I haven't been to sleep. I've always had issues with getting to sleep and staying a sleep. I've tried staying up 48 hours and more to force myself to sleep at a more appropriate time, I've also given up caffiene! but 7 days later I'm back to jumping in bed at 4-5 am. I've ordere... |

| I have this issue too and Auditory Processing Disorder ( dyslexic ears :D ), it often feels likes I'm hearing everything and nothing at the same time, I'm getting all the noise but none of the information, or I'm hearing a load of nonsense because of my APD. I quite often have to resort to lip readi... |

I have Dysgraphia, so obviously my hand writing majorly sucks. In order to keep my writing neat I write slowly and very small, my handwriting is so small nobody can read it.
But at least it's sort of neat. I also find writing for more than a few minutes very painful. |

I periodically have lotto wining fantasies, so I've given this much thought.
If I were to win a million pounds I would build myself the most EPIC gaming PC ever! |

| They're bethesda games. Yep. I've played quite a few Bethesda games, and most of them have had game-stopping bugs at some point in their life. There was a demo of Daggerfall they released way back in the day where as soon as you started the game, you fell through the floor and drowned. Fallout 3 is... |

| I sing to myself, what I don't understand is why I sing songs that really really annoy me. For instance I listen to heavy metal, but when I burst into song, which is frequent, it's something from the Andrew Sisters or Hall & Oats! I don't really talk to myself, but I do tell myself to 'Shut Up!'... |

| Fallout 3 is glitchy because Bethesda made it and Fallout: New Vegas is glitchy because Obsidian made it, both companies are notorious for releasing bug riddled games. Some blame the Gamebryo engine for the games being buggy messes. |
