| For my own self I feel worthless unless I'm accomplishing something. Ditto that, lifetime. Doing "it" vacuum-packed only gets me so far, however. The world comes in handy for editing. I take the attitude the free market will let me know which of my projects have better wheels than others and, in re... |

| The questions I put to myself in almost ANY conversation I have With other People is: 1. Are they saying anything intelligent? 2. Are they saying anything of interest to me? 3. Are they interested in receiving incoming input? 4. Have I had a conversation w/ them before? 5. If so, was it worth the ti... |

| I grew up in the 60's USA, everybody got shots for everything. Vaccines didn't make me autistic, it was those Jerry Lewis movies. |

| Stims have mitigated, social isolation increased. Maybe it's just a reduction of metabolism & the misanthropy of aging. |

| I'm pretty unphysical. More so w/ age. Live on commune, the hippies are hugging just about anything that moves; they learned fast I'm not to be touched. |

| Malapropisms and non sequiturs get me laughing out loud all the time. I usually jot them down (poetry palette) & later find the anoetic trail. (Btw, I think 'random' is quickly becoming one of those oversaturated words in danger of losing its clarity.) |

| 1:1 has always worked best for me. I liken conversations to radios, I only want to concentrate on 1 station at any given time; hearing 5 different commercials played simultaneously makes me queasy. Alas, I live on a commune, which is like high school 24/7, and triangulating cliques is the culture he... |

| Right now, I have a counterintuitive experience. My best (& only) friend is an NT. Meanwhile the only other AS on this hippie commune has a delusional system in which I am satan. I don't generalize the particular, though; it's all a hand of cards to play. |

| Usually it's someone w/ a fond past finding renewal to be elusive or stale. In your case, not liking it in the first place, I don't know, how comfortable is comfortable to invent the future? If you offered me a million dollars to go back to St. Louis, I'd have to ask: how long do I have to stay? Not... |
