I copy characters from films all the time. Example:

Girl: Hi Tom!

Me: There's no time for that now! We've got a President to save! *Jumps out window*

I've adopted chracteristics from Buffy, Donnie Darko, Yoda (lol), etc to get through my teen years.

Is this an aspie thing?

WHAT DOSE THAT MEAN COPYING A FICTIONL CHATCHER .I GET CONFUSSED WITH FICTION AND NON FICTION AS TO WHAT THEY MEAN

A fictional character is an imaginary character. Fiction means not real. Non- Fiction means real.

I GET THAT MIX UP ALL THE TIME

I suppose you also get mixed up with Caps Lock on and Caps Lock off?

I THINK I COPY WHAT EVER FRIEND IM WITH .CUSE I THINK I BE ACTING THE RIGHT WAY MY MOM CAN TELL WHO EVER I BEEN WITH CUSE I WILL SOMETIMES SOUND LIKE THAT PERSON .BUT THAT MY LEFT OVER ECHOILA WIUTCH I STILL HAVE A LITTE BIT /

WEHAT WAS THE CAP COMMENT /.WAS THAT A JOKE OR SOMETHING /

No the caps lock button button is on, which makes all the letters upcase, you need to push the caps lock button to put cap lock off.

I've never copied a fictional character, but I've watched a friend of mine socialize with people and get further than I ever could, so I try to emulate that.

Perfect example.. I needed to have a motorcycle engine crated and shipped. I called a shipping company, and the guy I spoke to said they only handle the shipping--they don't do crating, and couldn't help me at all. Instead of saying "thanks anyway, bye" and hanging up like I normally would, I decided to try making small talk. I brought up how difficult it is to ship large items like that, a little bit about motorcycles, etc. After a few minutes of what I considered to be pointless chit-chat, the guy mentioned that he DID know of a nearby crating company. Not only that, but they regularly visit the shipping company to crate things up for them!

I was partly relieved and impressed that it worked, and partly pissed off and confused as to why I had to engage in small talk in order to get a helpful, honest answer.

I brought that up to the more social friend of mine, who serves as my interpreter for figuring out normal people. He said "Well yeah, that's the human element.. People aren't robots or computer programs. Being friendly and explaining your situation made him feel sympathetic and more willing to help, instead of just asking a question out of nowhere." I suppose I understand that, and it definitely works, but it still annoys me nonetheless.

??? I think I understand what you're trying to say, not really sure. A lot of people (myself included) get annoyed/confused when someone types in all caps. It takes away from the seriousness and attention drawing power a word in all caps would normally have.

Not trying to be rude, just annoyed/confused.

i didnt know we have a teacher on in hear who corects how we say stuff or use caps or not .ok being a smart a@@

I copy non-fictional characters from the biographies I read, instead of fictional characters. . . .

Like Robert Moses and Lyndon Johnson, those were very interesting years to say to the least. . .
