| Oh, man... I have so many. First, from 'America' by Paul Simon, a favourite lyric I share with my best friend: ''Kathy,' I said 'I'm lost', though I knew she was sleeping 'I'm empty and aching and I don't know why'' All of Elvis Costello's 'I Want to Vanish', because sometimes I do. I love a lot of ... |

| Saw the theatrical trailer-- totally won me over, as well as my younger brother/fellow aspie. At first I wasn't sure, and then we found out it was for 'Transformers'-- more his thing than mine even though I remember it being a big thing when I was little, and I had a colouring book at one point...

| Well, *I* think Charlie's a fellow aspie, but he's not my *favourite* character. The hands-down aspie on the show is Larry, Charlie's best friend/mentor. I LOVE Larry. *sigh* And now he's in space... I don't know how I'll get through the long episodes without him... =^_^= TheRoaroftheGreasepaint |

| Dr. Cox is my favourite, because watching him talk is just so entertaining. I think JD could be an aspie-- he reminds me of me when he thinks sometimes. I like Eliot when she and JD aren't dating-- I don't think the show needs that, and I like their friendship. The only character I flat out don't li... |

| I empathized with Lisa in that one, but my hands-down Lisa episode is the one with the substitute teacher. At the end, he gives her a note that reads 'You are Lisa Simpson'. I never had a crush on a teacher, but during my first year at college, I was having a rough time, and a guy in my drama class ... |

| Well, it looks like I'm in good company on several fronts... I can't get enough of anything by Aaron Sorkin-- 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip' is his new show, and I suppose it's not for everyone (and the character of Harriet Hayes is very annoying and it doesn't make sense that Matt loves her), but ... |

| My favourite movie ever has to be 'The Princess Bride'-- the first film I ever fell in love with. I'm not sure what my favourite scary movie is, because my dad's a horror buff, so I've seen a whole lot of them. In general, I prefer psychological horror-- I don't like the blood and guts 'oh, there's ... |
