| I wish I had patience and I wish I could be easy going. For a while I wished I could be funny, but for some reason that isn't high on my list anymore as I've aged. |

| This happens to me regularly. Just the other day I said to my mom "around this time at night I have trouble keeping my legs open"... Of course I meant to say eyes and not legs. Then yesterday my mom was going to make me some hot chocolate and asked how I like it, I replied with "first... |

| I stopped saying sorry repeatedly the moment I was in 7th grade and someone got mad at me and told me "you say sorry too much and it annoys me". I felt embarrassed because I hadn't noticed I did this until they pointed it out. After that I became self conscious about it and stopped saying it all tog... |

| Just my opinion, It's better to just eat healthy and exercise 5 days a week for at least 30 minutes a day, even if it's just walking. Vitamins aren't supposed to replace healthy habits. BUT it doesn't hurt to take them, especially if you're on a limited diet where you might not be getting all your v... |

I didn't see the importance of hygiene until at 15 I broke out with horrible painful cystic acne and that was when I sought remedies and realized that only washing my face every few days was bad and only changing my pillow case ... |

| I like structure and rules. The rules I don't like is illogical ones. For instance, I hate when people say "you need to do this or that because I SAID SO!" That's not logical in my mind that I have to follow a rule based on an I said so and no other reasoning. The other rules I dislike are ones that... |

| My 5 pound chihuahua doesn't get walks. She uses pee pads in the house when we aren't home and then goes in our fenced backyard when we are home to go potty. She doesn't like walks, she prefers wandering and sunbathing in the backyard and then once in a while does a big sprint back to the back door ... |

| I only have two friends but I met them when I was playing on a soccer team. Also, I have acquaintances that I've met through my two friends. So meeting the friends of your current friends and joining a sports team/club are the only ways I've met friends and recommend as a way to meet people. |

| When I started the pill at 16, it really helped to stabilize my puberty emotions, but now after being on it for 8 years, I've noticed that I'm always drowsy and upset everyday, no matter what. Not sure if it's depression or the pill. Also, even though scientists say the pill doesn't make you gain we... |

| The difference between a personality and Asperger's? A personality is how we all differ and Asperger's is how we're all similar (in regards to the wrong planet community). |

| There's a simple fix. Don't let him move in with you, because once he does, you will officially be the breadwinner and he wont have any drive to go back to work. If I were you, I would only live together with him after a year of dating at least and for him to have a part time job. |
