| People who follow the crowd exist to keep society moving along smoothly. People who are "different" exist to make small changes and contributions to society. If everyone followed the crowd, society would fall apart and we would not have any sort of technology, because there would be nobody to come u... |

| If I watch something in black-and-white, my brain always fills in the colour, unless I consciously remind myself that I am watching something in black-and-white. I've never thought to tell anyone, because I thought it happened to everyone. Just like reading. Eventually, I stop seeing the words and I... |

| Now I have to remember some, haha. I once said that "this city is a hospital", because to me it seems white, clean and boring. Nobody understood that. Maybe they just didn't appreciate it.

Hi. I'm Jolteon. I had an account here a hundred years ago, but I don't remember the password. I've come here to try to answer the question I've been asking myself for most of my life -- why am I so different?
Hopefully you guys can help me. |

My nose is a little on the big side, but it is tolerable. I don't think they have anything to do with self-image. |

| I make clicking noises, make all sorts of "gah", "grah", "guh" noises, and uh... sometimes I death metal growl under my breath. I always have completely random words going through my brain, though, and I am afraid that some day I am going to yell one of them. I'll stub my toe and yell, "ANTARCTICA!"... |

| Or just, weird things in general? I've always had my one positive obsession, for the past five years it has been the music that I listen to, and I don't ever want that to change. Accompanying that, I've always had a shorter-lived "negative" obsession. One that I cannot stand to think about. One that... |

| My boss and I seem to have some communication issues. He seems to misunderstand or flat-out fail to understand most of what I say. I'm not sure if it is because he isn't listening, or if it is the way I talk, but it is frustrating nonetheless. I know that I have odd speaking patterns in real life, w... |
