All hail the mighty self-checkout! I don't know what I'd do without them. They're wonderful when you just want to avoid cashiers attempting to make small talk. Though it is kind of creepy when the attendant just stands behind you and watches you. If I had just a bit less self-control, they'd get smacked.

I haven't used IE in over a year. That being said, until a year ago, I hated FireFox

SP3 has been known to screw up computers. My brother's computer is in an endless cycle of rebooting, though to the naked eye it's just plain dead. I didn't have any problems with my old laptop until I installed SP3, then it had blue screen errors galore (though...it never actually went to a blue screen, it just up and restarted without warning...perhaps they should rename that error )

I have a new laptop now...but it's running the lovely (*cough* yeah right) Vista Basic. Once I have the time, it's bye-bye Windows, hello Linux

There's a Disney animator somewhere on my dad's side...one of his cousins, I believe.

It was snowing from about 10:30 to 11 am Saturday morning

Pain? Hmm. I can't read eyes well, so I wouldn't know.

I don't care about my appearance, really.

I do sometimes wonder what other people are thinking, but in general, I don't care.

Take me as I am. People don't change.

Aspies also tend to drink themselves into social acceptance. I know it helps me.

Snowed for about half an hour here this morning. Not sticking, though. Too warm.

People don't change.

Rather...they do, but not drastically. And only of their own accord.

Other than that, thanks :)

Jealousy is a foreign concept to me.

So, I'm feeling echolalic, so let's see if I can work it in here.

"This haunted face holds no horror for me now. It's in your soul that the true distortion lies" (~PotO)

The same goes for beauty. It's in your 'soul' what counts.

Take a glass of water and suction it to your lower lip/chin. You don't have to drink it.

I have been touched by his noodly appendage. Ramen!

Well...I'm Aspie...and...I'm a girl...so...it's kinda self-explanatory! xD

If someone knocks, I generally ignore it unless I'm expecting someone. I do have a peep hole that I use, and my dog comes to the door with me (not that he'd be much protection, but maybe he'd look intimidating lol). Cars approaching from the right is only true if I'm driving...mild PTSD from a crash a little over a year ago. Buzzing sounds freak me out. I hate the cycle alarm on the washer at work. can't stand it. Have you ever seen the movie "Mozart and the Whale"? If you have, the scene where the girl hears the clanging metal...I'm not quite that bad, but on a bad day it feels like that. I'm only afraid of being wrong if it's something factual...like when doc asks "What do you see?" on a radiograph...I don't want to be wrong there. Dementia runs in the family...

And re-reading I get the feeling it's a joke, but hey - I already typed the response, I may as well just post it!

I used to be afraid of going blind, but I'm not anymore. I'm fairly certain I'd manage well blind. I have some mild synaesthesia - if I touch something, I can 'see' it (not always the proper color, but that's only trivial). I also have taken walks without my glasses (without them I'm functionally blind, and have been since 3rd grade) and it's not that bad. Most people that are legally blind aren't fully blind.

Of course I thought of more...

Someone/something following me.

Seizures.

The phone.

Someone knocking at the door when I'm not expecting it (and sometimes even if I am).

Being wrong.

Aneurysms.

Wasps/bees/yellow jackets/anything that resembles them.

Losing my mind.

Cars approaching from the right.

My parents pulled that on me several times. Every time I misbehaved it was "Do you want us to call and have you taken away? 'Cause I will."

Harry and the Hendersons (TV show)

Scooby Doo.

The dark.

A monster at the foot of my bed - to this day, I sleep with my legs curled up and -always- covered.

General anesthesia.

Death.

The unknown.

Sarah Palin.
