I always try to get an aisle seat so I can get up and move about when I need to. I must look like I have a really weak bladder to others but most of my toilet visits are to chill out, stretch, get away from people etc. If I could spend the entire flight in the toilet, I would  |

Probably about a 4.
I have a couple of friends (which is enough for me, I couldn't handle too many), I'm single right now but have been in quite long relationships before and I work full time. I've always had trouble working with people but now I work for the family business which is a lot easier. |

| I don't know if I CAN dance or not but I do sometimes. It really doesn't matter if I'm enjoying myself. If someone is dancing and someone else is taking the p*** you've got to ask yourself who is having the better time. I like that quote, I don't know who said it but part of it is 'Dance like no one... |

| Well I list things I have to do at work or I'd forget it all (terrible memory) Aside from practical lists I list films I've seen and books i've read. The film one is fairly new and I wish I'd done it from the very first film I ever watched because it would be a HUGE list. I like to play top 5 lists ... |

| No, I was always the bottom of the pile when it came to bullying, there was no one lower on the food chain than me so this never even presented itself as an option. I remember once sticking up for a girl who was getting bullied because she was kinda scruffy, obviously her family couldn't afford new ... |

I'm not against trying new things but there are some things I love and would probably wish I'd ordered them if I decided to get something different. I tend to go to a restaurant beca... |

| Diagnosed by current psychiatrist. I'm very skeptical of people who claim to have Asperger's but have not gotten an actual and correct diagnosis. It seems to be the thing on that outrageous "emo" fad. Possibly, but I speak for myself when I say I'm a tad old for emo. I don't have a diagnosis and do... |

I have to have each food evenly spaced in order not to have one touching something else. If something does touch I take the part of the ... |
