...you are 22 but still wish you were an only child so that you could have your parent's attention to yourself

...you observe people too much that it makes you become jealous and bitter of what they're doing with their lives, and it makes everybody seem superior to you

...nobody understands your subtle fascination with bus-drivers (or whatever your special interest might be)

...you truly wish you could go out looking and acting how you want and nobody takes the mickey or even cares (breaking the law does not count)

...you never make friends when on vacation

When your boss starts talking in exact like "That is almost empty, you better change it" instead of "That's empty now." He will also say "it's almost full now."

The meteor one is SO true for me, as are many of the others. Kids asked me for answers all the time in school, but I alweays handed in my projects either right on time or late. Teachers were okay with it because my projects were better, anyway. I know I am NOT the only one here who has experienced that!

In ninth grade, I had a big poetry project for English class that included writing 20 poems, most of them being in specific forms or on specific topics. I only had 4 written by the day before it was due, and I stayed up all night writing the others. I got an A on the project, and the teacher even wrote that I must have spent a lot of time on the original poems.

Good question. I guess the best way is to find an Austrian or German person to pronounce it for you, then try to follow that.

I have heard the following from various English speakers:

Ass Burgers
Ass Purgers
Asper Jerz
Asper Gurz
Az Pear Gurs

But as a non-Austrian/non-German, I am not sure which is actually correct?

When you can relate to vanelope from wreck it ralph during the scene when she gets bullied by the other racers as they trash her car and make fun of her. Also when she says everyone wishes she didn't exist because she's a glitch!

NO WAY-- I did this all the time for a LONG time! When my mother would yell at me to "look where I was going" I instintively looked at my feet, because my feet were the things taking me where I was going! The upside is that I often found money on the floor :-D

...You have the following conversation:
Friend says something you don't understand.
Me: That's gone right over my head. I'm not sure I really want to know what it means either
Friend: It's not an euphemism.

:oops: Knowing them, it could have been...

You might be an aspie if...

...You have more cat friends than human friends

...You can recite the whole entire plot line in your favourite tv show from memory (mine is fishhooks by the way!)

...You are able to crack up hundreds of computer puns on the spot (I tend to do this from time to time.)

...You can remember all of the english lyrics to a Japanese song

...You often like to think in other people's voices just for the sake of it

...You're known as the "teacher's pet"

...You'd rather stay in school then go on a residental trip

...You can listen to the same song all day, over and over again

...You can't sleep at night because of all the wonderful and creative thoughts you've been having
