A)...To start this travel log, I need to explain what
makes me tick!
3 aspects of Ghosthunter and
how he see's affordable rent, job, school,
and envirement wrote:
Here are some criteria's I see in a place to live!

1)...I am a creature of instinct!
That is when someone feels their evirement
and let events take their course within
a reasonable time frame. I feel how many
glass barriers one puts up in a particular place,
event, ect.....!

2)...I am not a "Statistic", thus robbing
you-know-who of statistical pleasure!
Ghosthunter wrote:
3)...I am one who harbours around
people in intellectual stimulating envirements.
This is why I seek out a Starbucks, or Borders,
or coffee shop that has wifi. This kind of location
provides multiple energy flows that may not
involve my verbal interaction, but stimulation
just the same.
B)...By 7pm I meet Pyraxis, so here are some
person's encountered overview and behaviours!

Magic is a quiet, very smart, soft-spoken creature.
He spends time observing, not as much interacting
unless it's something that interests him. He is
a good model for AS in a controllable form!
Hilary wrote:
Hilary would fall under HFA. She is well worded
and expressive, her eye contact is not as fluent
as mine, and if you think about it, Magic beat us
both in a timing test.
She can out talk me, or vice-versa. I was unihibited
to see my inner-beast called "lack of social skills
involving recipicol" and failed uterly and glad that
she did alot better.
The learning disability part is more fluent with her,
but she can consciously know when to say nothing.
My learning disability part is less obvious unless in
prolonged speech, I will occasionally stutter, and
repeat myself out of insecurity, and this is something
Hilary doesn't do. It is probly because she has a
family that loves her, and I am alone in a world!
AxelKat wrote:
I found axelkat a victim of his envirement. I don't
know the extent of taunting that he may have faced,
but like me, it is revealed in unique form that is
specifically tailored to the individual.
Eye contact was a issue for both of us. Spoken
word was something that either of us could monologue,
and I did try not to repeat the Hilary mistake as much
in repeating myself.
I did come off as Mr.Professor, and "I will bore you", but
this is self-flaggoration due to my responses of tauntings.
He on the other hand figited alot. I cannot say how much
I do since I don't see myself from your shoes.
He was into WWII items, and space-related items.
I was too, and tried to, "and hopefully didn't", not
talk him to death. Hilary hide behind her book when
I did. He starred the other direction? Is this because
I bored him? I personally think I didn't bore him and
showed some constraint.
He has loving parents. Due to past reactions that are
his personal things(thus not refered to here), I can
understand why they were(his parents) leary of a
stranger online meeting him. They love him dearly,
and don't want him to make bad mistakes and
encounters. God-Bless his parents, at least he
had them!
His brother is a professional physics? guy. I wonder
what AxelKat would like to be? I never asked him.
I hope he enjoyed my company as much as I did
his!

Ghosthunter at the Denver, Coloraldo Depot wrote:
The Stop over at the Denver Coloraldo Depot was delays
after delays, mass confusion and unfriendly staff and
security guards who could care less if you missec your
bus.
The terminal was dirty, but overall, reasonably kept.
We picked up this weird guy who would be a bad
luck charm all the way to Indiapolis, Indiana.
He boarded somewhere in Denver during a mail pickup.
He had a grayis beard, late forties?, fat(in a beer type of
way) and starving.
Another person was this kid(18) who reminded me
of my autistic self at that "be my friend age"
and followed his friend around like the "lost puppy
dog behaviour". He was awkward in walk,
wore semi-happy looking glasses, and tried to
look geeky-goth(like I would have done at that
age as well). I tried talking with him and eye
contact, and delayed learning aspect, and other
interesting traits a HFA would exhibit(he was trying
to be social).
We travelled by night and I was misinformed by all staff
at either the S.LC and Denver depots of arrival and departure
information.
It didn't matter since we were numerously re-rounted!
Sleep???? Whats sleep?
Ghosthunter at Kansas City, Kansas/Mousuri area wrote:
Kansas was the longest trek. Miles and miles........
of flat conrfields and unplowed fields, and interesting
water? spraying linking contraptions that sprayed
large spaces of fields. Uneventful and I slept(barely!)
through it. Kansas City is RUDEEEEEE!
The terminal was in a 1800's badly remodeled courthouse.
It was way too small and if you wanted to sit on the filthy
floor, go ahead! just brush the FILTH off your clothing.
Aaaah! Teeth. We take for granted teeth, if properly
kept usually stay healthy. But I was wrong!
White female with rotting teeth. White male with rotting teeth.
Black folk acting and being treated like monkey's(how southern
of the white folk there.) . As a matter of fact 90% of most
of the staff were stereo-typical B&W 30's movies blackfolk.
Not the intellectual one, but the ones who try to fit in expectations
that have gone with the dinasour. I am not a prejudice person,
but when they threw luggage in the buses that would caravan
the way late and delayed travel, they would make the
Samsanite Gorilla jealous. And the way they talk, just
like out of some old 30's black&white film.
The white folk were'nt better in the depot who live in kansas.
This also applies to St.Louis as well.
If I had a butter knife I could slice my way through
this self-imposed "have and have not" racial barrier.
Ghosthunter and the St.Luis and Indiapolis Depots wrote:
Indiapolis is quietly prejudice, cleaner than most states I have
seen, and to top it off! Their was a intellictual quality in both
the "racial divides" that bleeds in the walls but not openly
expressed. The black employees chatted equally with the
white ones. Their teeth were kept up.
Departing and later on, Mr.Denver drunk had 2 seizures and on
top of this caravan re-routing due to this.
I did manage in 5 minutes, and without incident catch the
bus to Pyraxis's location, and arrived just on time. I
can say that the next 7 days is to hang with pyaxis,
plan to see BeeBee, Monastic, and Scoots.
I will fill in the blanks in Fort Wayne after a good nights
bath, sleep, and some emotionally recovery. Blah!
but insightful!
Being that I am tired I probly need a good rest to recall
more details, Sorry!
