I just love this idea.



You seem to know my neighbours ...

I seriously do this all the time and I feel so happy to know that other people do it too!! !! !! !! !! !! !!

And the funny thing is...they (the people you are talking to) don't even notice

YMBAA
If you figure something is "taboo" because it is not logical.

It's so true, I think I've only had one person say "hey, isnt that from a song?"

...if you are mistaken for a drug addict.

You started learning Russian symply because you are facinated with writing cyrillic and your secret dream is to uncover top-secret KGB files.

If you live in a time warp, inspired by your favourite decade.

...when somebody asks you to repeat something because they couldn't hear you well, you repeat it EXACTLY the way you said it before, with all the little hmms and ahs and whatnots, as if you're a human tape recorder or something.

when you're in dire need for a toilet, instead of going to the nearest one, you sprint to the library because there they have this amazing smelling soap...

... You seriously question the proper placement of an emote before or after punctuation.
... You were overjoyed when you found out that Pluto is still legally a planet when in the sky above your state.
... You attempt to learn to speed read and find out that was already your standard method.
... You have no sense of emotional empathy but physical empathy is the bane of your existence.
... You have an aversion to stepping on odd sided polygons on the ground.
... You write out a script if/when you ever have to make a phone call.
... You meticulously organize the info of your songs in iTunes
... With said info you struggle endlessly determining genre/subgenre/and order thereof (Melodic death metal, power metal, progressive metal, thrash metal... How do I order these into a single tag?)
... When on an airplane you constantly think of the physics and math involved.
... You've heard people talk about exercising make them feel better but never experienced the sensation yourself.
... On your first quiz in a class, which each answer was a single letter, you were told to rewrite your answers because no one would be able to read them.
... You rewrite them and are told to rewrite them again, printed.
... That teacher never again asks you to write differently.
... When you walk in sunlight without sleeves you cross your arms against your chest defensively to keep them from tanning.
... If your method of announcing your presence to your friends is poking them.
... Any question you aren't paying attention to is answered with "42."

Most of those don't relate to me at all ^ lol

...you go to a meeting of aspies and you spend the whole meeting coming up with patterns with the empty chairs, and you still manage to pay attention to what everyone is saying (more or less).

...whenever you leave a post on a message board, you read it as if you're reading it for the first time.

Yes, I used to do that, too, but most of the times I click the window away before I get redirected, so that I don't waste my time on reading it. When threads are active I just take the reference and renew whenever an email pops up (Which started working lately. thank you who-ever fixed it, by the way).

...you mysteriously gain weight in a small amount of time.

You wonder what all the dressed up people on campus are about, in the exam term, on a saturday and it turns out the summerball is tonight...

Ed: And the only thing you worry about is the amount of firealarms that are going to come up tonight.
