I know, in ancient Thespia, there was a guy named Νάρκισσος who had a stim like this.

So, do they just look at themselves, or do they move around and watch the movements?...

Ahh that explains why they were growing long noses.....

They are mirrors, not Pinocchio.

I'm not sure. I didn't finish reading the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus_(mythology)

I start to do the shake thing if I am in a hospital too long, I can't sit still in a gross place like that. Elevators are scary.

I am not into my 'aspie passion' (the thing you obsess about) even as much as a nerd that is into engineering wants to do this engineering and machining of his by hand. Plus, the things I 'obsess' about are hunting, welding, machining, foreign horror movies, gun&knife collecting, and geology, so obviously I have a healthy variety. It is better to be a hipster that is socially awkward, because as long as he doesn't care about looking awkward and shy, he will still be a pretty cool hipster.

Did you learn Japanese on your own, or are you actually Japanese?

On my own.

I dislike ceiling fans if they are not completely secure.

I've taken four classes and kind of stopped doing it. It's still fun. Kanji is difficult.

I think hospitals are far worse than elevators could ever be.

Stairs without visible supports beneath them (shudders). Especially the ones that don't completely connect, so you can see the floor.

This topic completely changed in topic. That does sound terrifying. I really hate heights. Being up so far in the air.... Eeeee.... I don't know how in the heck I flew on an airplane.
