went to queer space for "no homers"(no cis- males) because there was a movie and ice cream. i barely said hi, i didnt look at people, i didnt make any conversation at all, i looked at my knitting the entire time i wasnt looking at the film and when it was over i sat appart and did that and they made almost no effort to indicate they noticed i was there. none that i noticed anyway. i didnt either. i feel so defective around people at queer space. reminded me of when i was a kid and i would do the same with a book.

A guy was on his blue tooth talking..and i was trying to scamper to the shops as fast as possible to shut myself in as usual,so never seen him talking on the phone but heard himsay something and thought he was being nasty to me ..so called him an ass hole ..o no he turned round and i saw he had his blue tooth in..felt such a fool as i always get abuse for no reason..maybe the way i look away from people makes me a taget for idiots.

Felt like a creeper because I asked an acquaintance of mine the same question three times while she was talking to someone else. And I just kept staring at her and kind of hovering around her. I knew it was an awkward situation, but I had no idea what to do.

My "stims" are the biggest issue for me and probably what make people ask if I have Asperger's (at least five people have suspected I have Asperger's in my life). I have the tendency to just rock back and forth in my chair or shake my leg. I also run around to relax myself when I... have to. I don't know. I just have to do it. It makes me very anxious if I cannot perform these activities.

Ran into part of a light pole today, even though I totally thought I had avoided it. This is disturbingly common for me, and I actually got a very large bruise near my knee a few weeks ago from running into a table while doing my running stim.

This one is very old, but I thought somebody might be intrigued by it. Once I was at a debate competition and I thought I could freak out our opponents by just smiling at them. After the debate, one of them came up to me and said "you were smiling at me the whole time." I went "yeah." No further response. Only years later did I realize he thought I was flirting with him!

I began to play with my form tutors keys today as I like the noise. I looked up and my whole form was staring at me it was quite unnerving.

Upset over no internet and I had to fight back throwing things and my computer too and refrain from screaming. Kept calling my husband's phone over and over because he wasn't home and he knows how to fix my computer when it acts up.

phone rings. i stare at it and i pretend i cannot hear it.

lying awake in bed all night , obsessing over something that had gone wrong earlier that day

I call an tourist information center of a small coastal town on the phone to acquire information on their market day and deliberately cut off the womans spiel/pleasantries as all I want is the information, not the yada yada blah blah.

Felt a bit embarrassed later as I was quite rude.

when i was a child, i took the phrase "i have butterflies in my stomach" to mean that they had recently eaten butterflies (maybe in a survival lesson or something), and i was advised that the phrase meant that they were nervous (even though they had not eaten butterflies).

i heard the phrase again the other day, and i still am not able to make the leap of logic that being nervous is similar to having butterflies in one's stomach. if i had butterflies in my stomach they would all be dead, and so there would be no sensation of them in my stomach.

as well as this, i do not associate my stomach with being nervous no matter what i have eaten.
(how would the butterflies get in their unless i ate them , and my stomach acid would kill them almost instantly if i did eat them (even if i did not kill them by chewing(which i would avoid if i ate butterflies)))

the residual question is "why do people associate nervousness with their stomach?"
i incurred surprise when i questioned the notion of having butterflies in ones stomach.

i annoyed tammy's mother when she spoke to me about a football match (i rang to speak to tammy as she told me to at 9:30pm and her mother answered the phone so small talk ensued). i heard on the tv that some team is going to be playing against another team for the first time in 50 years. i am not interested in sport, and i am less interested in a game that is going to be played in 2062.

my house is not set up for visitors. i have a cockpit style arrangement in my lounge room, and i have a 50 inch TV on the wall so i can see it above my computer monitor.

i have 2 lounge chairs and a dining table that has no legs but is on supports that make it level with slightly above my knees when i am sitting in my lounge chair. it is very comfortable. when i am expecting a visitor, i have to clear my stuff off the second unused lounge chair, and i do not know where to put the stuff (bills, papers and other things), so i try to dissuade visitors.

i have a compulsory visitor (friend) who is coming here on tuesday (from interstate), and i can not think of what i will do to accommodate them.

i was watching a TV program last night where there were chinese people talking, and there were no subtitles. after a while i became very annoyed that there were no subtitles, but i then slowly realized that the chinese people were speaking english and not chinese, and i wished i had known that fact earlier in the program because i would have listened to what they said instead of assuming that they were speaking chinese because they looked chinese.

got told off for not replying to text messages. the reason i didnt was because i interpreted the messages as not requiring a return text- they were not open ended. apparently it was obvious that i should text back and i did not know this. it still doesnt make sense to me so i probably will make this error again.

At the grocery store the other day, a fake nail popped off while I was unloading my buggy onto the counter. The lady running the register saw it and said "Oh no! Is that yours?" I knew a minute or two later that she meant was that my natural nail, but at the moment I took her literally and said "Yeah, I bought them at the dollar store. I'll glue it back on." My reasoning made no sense at all, because I was trying to tell her that yes I bought them and glued them on, so they did belong to me.

Then I said "Ohhhhhh you mean is it my real nail. No it's not"

She's cool with me though. She's the same lady that I said to about a year ago "I finally figured out that when you ask me how I'm doing you don't want full disclosure." because I used to tell her exactly what was going on with me whenever she asked.

She knows I'm wierd, it's ok.

everytime i go to subway i order the exact same thing except for dressings which i can vary. my usual order is veggie delight. this time i wanted a ham sub. i say my lines in my head to make sure i do not stuff it up. so i go up to the counter and the words that come out of my mouth are a ham sub on a veggie delight(i mean to say herbs and cheese bread). the guy doesnt get it and asks me to say again. i just repeat veggie delight over and over. eventually i latch on and get the right bread. then i order my usual without realising it and forget to ask for meat. after i leave i realise that i did not have ham at all and that my sub tasted like a veggie delight. i cant even vary from routine when i try.

Was texting a friend and they said they were having a rough day at work and when I asked why they said everyone and their mom wants to talk to them today and its annoying.

I waited till the next day to text them back. Never occurred they were just venting about work lol.

paced for no reason while explaining a concept to myself out loud.

I got caught stimming at work today. I was standing at a counter in an open area of the office doing an arm stim when someone walked by and asked me what I was doing with my arm.
