| I LOVE sudoku! I'm not all that much into numbers and math in general, but I can spend hours doing Sudoku. There's something so satisfying about going through each and every little square and figuring out by process of elimination what can and can't go there. It being something predictable and repet... |

| I've learned to not stim or minimize my stimming in public, but I doubt I'm always fully aware of all the stimming I'm doing. When I'm by myself I flap my arms and rock back and forth. I've also recently added a very satisfying popping noise I make with my lips to the stimming. I'll also look for pa... |

| if I have standing water that I can't simply dump because the vessel is fixed, do you think I could add a small amount of bleach or ammonia to the water to kill the larvae? What's the standing water in? If it's something animals could drink from it wouldn't be responsible to dump bleach or ammonia ... |

| I've a transgender man. I've never felt like a girl. It took me a long time to figure out I was a guy, since I didn't have a strong gender identity beyond "not girl", and I never got along with guys more than I got along with girls. |

I made soup yesterday with green beans, kidney beans, onion, and macaroni shells. Yum! |

Squids and octopi. Jellyfish. I also like rhinos but maybe not to the obsessive point. Do mythological creatur... |

| Lack of sleep and stress are my worst ones. Loud noises and bright lights if I can't remove myself from the situation or do anything about it. I once had a meltdown and was on the phone with my boyfriend, whose voice normally calms me down... I was so upset that even the sound of his voice was makin... |

My long standing obsessions are hawks, falcons, and foxes, though. I really love birds in general, when I was little I'd... |
