Well my friend gave rose my msn address, and she kept talking and talking and talking to me even though I wasn't very interested. Well after a while i gave in an... |

| I love Tim Burton, he is one of my heroes. All of his movies from Frankenweenie and Vincent to Charlie and the Chocolate factory are brilliantly made, and are full of worlds that I would love to live in. I can repeat every line from The Nightmare before Christmas, and Edward Scissorhands. It would b... |

| It's an interesting theory, and I understand where you're coming from. I do not agree though, I have very strong morals, and I'm terrified of having a child. I live in an area with a very large teenage pregnancy rate. As examples down my street we have a new 14 year old mother, a 16 year old who has... |

Its the other two who are the problem. WriterWithoutWords thank you for the... |

| When my family first heard about asperger's from me, they were in extreme denial, and believe I was being a hypochondriac. Well now they are excepting of the condition, in fact I told my uncle about it because my aunt (his sister) is a 'crazy cat lady'. He looked at the condition and said "This fits... |

| Err When I was a child I use to bang my head on the ground all the time. My father and mother would try picking me up but I would scream, kick and bite. My parents didn't know what to do so they would let me keep banging my head until I passed out, or I stopped on my own. |
