| I could talk about things that interest me all day. In fact, when someone tries to change the subject while I'm talking about one of my special interests, I happily change it back. Or sometimes I'll wander off and think about it for a while, and then come back like an hour later and pick up where I ... |

| As a kid, when my sisters were playing with their Barbie dolls, acting out various scenes and parties and whatnot, I was giving my Barbie haircuts with scissors, piercing her ears with sewing needles, and making clothing for her out of scraps of fabric. I later tired of that (Barbie dolls only have ... |

| I've been obsessed with names for as long as I can remember. One of my childhood memories involves the time when I was staying with an aunt while my mom was in the hospital having a baby. During that time, I was praying to God to please let it be a girl and not a boy. The reason I was so keen on it ... |

| I definitely would want to live. Even if I had a worse disability than this one. Even if I were blind, deaf, and paraplegic, I'd still want to live. |

| I was bullied a good bit, but I was the sort of kid who happily told on bullies at a the drop of a hat. And if I told on someone a couple of times and the teacher on duty wouldn't do anything, I would happily take matters into my own hands, which sometimes happened to contain a clarinet case or a pu... |

| For my birthday, I generally just buy myself a nice present and eat at my favorite restaurant. If a friend or relative wants to come along to the restaurant or give me gifts, they're certainly welcome, but they're optional. I'd celebrate the same way whether they come along or they don't. |

| I've often been criticized for my lack of ambition or competitive spirit. I can be quite ambitious about things. It's just that it's seldom what other people want me to be ambitious about. My personal victories tend to take place in arenas that are invisible to the world around me. |

| I was already quite weird long before we got our first pet. And we didn't wash him with pet shampoo. We just hosed him down occasionally when he got too filthy. |

| IRape victims should receive counseling and arrangements should be made for their baby to be adopted by someone who wants it. You can't really say counseling would help at all because you can't know how it would feel to be a victim unless it has happened to you, no two women are the same, the couns... |

I'm in that situation and don't see anything morally or ethically wrong with it at all - we're in love, we make love, we take care of each other, and we inten... |
