I really like the film with Audrey hepburn and that man who is shorter than her
Where they act as a married couple and then their marriage disintegrates down the road

I think she sounded kind of fake/forced in certain scenes n they didn’t seem believable as a real couple but i liked the general idea
Plus smthing doesn’t have to be believable to impress you

Two fr the road

Sabrina with Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart is one of my favourites. I also immensely enjoyed Dead Poets' Society, though my favourite Robin Williams film is still Good Will Hunting.

My favourite football team is Liverpool.

Do you prefer tea or coffee?

TEa for comfort, coffee for energy
I cannot get through one day without lots of coffee
Actually just an hour ago my card got declined fr coffee at the coffee shop soi managed to collect some coins frm my car n got it anyway despite the embarrassment
I just cannot be without it

Same Q

I just saw Good Will Hunting last year. I didn't follow the whole storyline but some of the scenes are astounding, particularly in the pub and when he fights with his girlfriend about California.

It hit home so hard I almost felt ill. I guess that makes a good film!

I prefer coffee but I drink much more tea. I only allow myself one coffee per day.

same q

I live for coffee shops, though I think the staff in the one I go to every day resent my weirdness/standoffishness.

I prefer coffee, though I try to practice restraint in how much I drink, so as to avoid heartburn.

If you could be the world's leading authority on any subject, what would it be?

That's so ironic! I was just going to post the question "Do you ever get heartburn?"

I would be the Brontē authority.

same q for Mr. Physics. lol

Tile work n mosaics

Coffee shop- i learned tht they think im looking down on them so now i play up my shyness/act likeim in a daze (which i am but i let it show instead of hiding it)

Then they realize it’s nothing against them n treat me like a harmless nobody

Same Q

I think the staff at my shop feel towards me a combination of pity at the fact that I always go in there alone (not that I'd have it any other way) and good-natured amusement at my odd style of communication and stereotypical aspie ways.

I think physics is rather too broad a subject for any one person to be an expert in, but rather, I've always wanted to be the one who cracks string theory. Quantum computing is an extremely promising field, too - in fact, there have been a number of major breakthroughs just over the past few months. Quantum computing is making the science headlines every day now. This is the direction computers are going to take over the next generation. For those of you who don't know, quantum computers are largely theoretical computers that will use binary quantum states to store data. This is the ne plus ultra of computers as we know them. Seriously exciting stuff, though I won't pretend to fully understand it.

Are you a fan of seafood?

There's a waterside Starbucks that I love, but I won't go there because of the social aspect. Even with the big comfy, private armchair seating and the windows looking out toward boats, I feel too shy.

I love lobster, calamari and scallops, but not much else in the seafood department.

same q

I'm sorry to hear it. I don't really have any major social anxiety anymore (for me, it was a teenage thing), though I still hate spending too much time around people for sensory reasons (most people are too noisy and I hate any kind of physical contact). That said, for me coffee shops are the ultimate social compromise - I get enough social contact to avoid being officially classifiable as a hermit, while at the same time being in complete control of the social aspects involved; I go in, don't make eye contact and, once I've made my order, go straight to my seat and begin reading my book. Nobody's ever tried to engage me in small talk at my regular coffee shop, to my recollection, though I do recall a nice old man, who seemed like an aspie to me, talking to me about Canterbury Tales, which I happened to have in front of me at the table, when I visited a small town coffee shop while visiting Ireland last December.

I love mussels, cockels and prawns, though my stomach isnt keen on the former two

Have you ever really been convinced of solipsism as a metaphysical position?

No
I only heard of it n looked it up when kraftiekortie mentioned it a while back
I just think none of anything matters so long as we take care of kids
But how can solipsism explain sacrificing fr kids’ sakes?

Same q

What.

Same question.

Yes, I do consider it. I have Complex PTSD with bouts of dissociation. I feel so removed from society sometimes that I have to wonder about solipsism. I'm certainly not narcissistic and I don't think I'm better than anyone (quite the opposite), but I do feel completely alienated quite often. I lived in a dreamworld paracosm as a child as well. I think it is all just a defence mechanism more than true solipsism, and my Trauma Psychologist agrees this is from trauma.

same q

Long before I'd ever heard of solipsism, at the age of around six, I can remember sitting in the dining hall at primary school and thinking "Do all these children really exist? How could I possibly know they exist?" I think in that moment I really was convinced that they were a fabrication. The idea still occurs to me every now and then, though I can usually snap myself out of it.

Have you ever read BF Skinner - in particular, his Utopian novel Walden Two? You get consolation marks for having read Walden the first.

One cannot be truly solipsistic if one has to take care of children. Though I believe even the best parents have their moments.

I know I might have been too self-absorbed to have been able to take care of kids well when I was younger.


Have you ever experienced a temperature of zero Fahrenheit (Minus 18 Celsius) or below?
