Got Anything Random To Say

Let's work this out. We actually get to decide what we need and want. Examine how you assess the difference between the two in other people, and then compare that to how you assess yourself.

Other people get to decide that for themselves, as well, and they will also pick up on what we think we need, what we think we want, and they will form an opinion about that.

The issue with friendships, on some level, comes down to everyone doing what they need and accepting what other people need in order to satisfy everyone.

If anyone wants to argue that they can't change this or that, fine. It could be a deal-breaker in some cases. You get to decide what breaks the deal for you, too.

Then making friends with a person or group becomes solving an n-dimensional jigsaw puzzle. Fun, right? Figure out the shape of your piece, and which dimensions you are willing to adjust, and then look around for a place to fit in. You don't get to decide what the open spots look like. The puzzle changes over time, and you might not have an open spot when you start looking.

If you have enough flexibility, you can fit in anywhere, I guess. I have a lot of things I don't choose to change, though, so I don't find a lot of places to fit in. However, I have tried and I have changed lots of things as an experiment. It turns out that there are a lot of things that many people need which I am capable of giving. Things like shutting up if I start to bore them, or actually listening to them and actively looking for areas of common interest. Then, when they talk about something that interests us both, I let them be wrong.

Yeah, autistic people can learn to do those things and they make a huge difference. If this doesn't address anyone's problems, then you must be ahead of me in the social skills and need a more advanced class.

the glimmer of stupidity reflected in thine eye befits one well to the task of waddling aimlessly among the lily pads that floateth aponst thy swamp of consideration.

and thusly i accede to the chore of divesting the mantle that keepst the depths of slumber from consuming my soul.
to sleep
to sleep
temporarily i hope i go

Well, I'm sorry, ImAnAspie, that you feel that way. I have never been in a romantic relationship before and I am in no hurry.

Try to immagine what Laura would be doing if she just caught Zygarde. Got that picture in your head? That's pretty much me right now, because I JUST CAUGHT ZYGARDE!! !! !!

I actually do have something random to say. In the right company, it would be hilarious and have just the right level of transgression of conventional conversational norms. If I said it in response to another thread, it would be helpful, awful, and hilarious. So I decline. I needed a minute for the funniness to wear off, so I posted this rambling thought. In a world of perfect rationality, the comment would only be helpful, but ain't nobody got time to hear me say the world is perfect.

^^^I have three, so if you ever want another one, just pm me your friend code.

I don't always say things that are obviously lies but express fundamental truths, when I do but I will admit it.

3?? How is that even possible?

^I have the event one, the one in the game itself, and one I got from the GTS.

Darn...

Oh, look what I found! But why is it all glitchy? Were the GBA videocards that crappy back then? I've seen lets plays on a GBA on youtube that look better than that...

^I might try trading one of them for a Mew.

I can't use the GTS or Battle Spot at all because the wifi part of my DS went out too! (the worst part is that Anna and everybody else will be mad at me when I get back to Amie...) But I'll get a new one for Christmas!

Heavy rain and flooding all through my area this evening. Cars stuck on lots of roads. Manhole covers floating off manholes and sliding down the streets.

I just almost posted an answer for the five letter word game in the food a-z thread. Whew!
