Arrange posts so you are first YMBAAI on page 100, because it feels right and deeply satisfying.
But you'd never do the dumb "First!" comment on a blog.

YMBAAI you actually have a laptop set up next to your bed (complete with headphones) and are watching DS9 on it while your husband is having intercourse with you. This actually happened, but now I live alone. Thank god.
YMBAAI two people in the same room as you are discussing cars and falling asleep behind the wheel, and one of them says, "Years ago, I woke up one night and was running through the mountains, and I hadn't a clue where I was." You then say, "I'm sure sleepwalking at those heights is incredibly dangerous." He then has to explain that 'running" is an expression for 'driving'.
In a UNIX class, you are discussing the finger command. You ask "Will it work if I finger someone else?" It takes you several seconds to figure out why the whole class is laughing at you.

I identify with so many of these posts.
YMBAAI...
Your teacher says, "You've done so well in my class, I'm not going to require you to take the final exam and you'll still get an 'A'," but you take the final anyway.
Another teacher announces to the class, "I was going to grade this exam on a curve, but someone got a 98. Isn't that right, [insert your name]?"
One of your co-workers uses a colloquialism and then asks, "Hmmm...I wonder where that came from?" so he can watch you run to the nearest computer, sign onto the Internet, and look it up.
You use words like "colloquialism."
Someone asks you, "What's the word?" and you pause while you try to think if there was some kind of word you were supposed to know or give in this situation. You end up responding with, "Sesquipedalian."
A co-worker tries to work out a map scale calculation on a white board, but you solve it mentally and tell him the answer before he finishes.
You calm yourself at work by analyzing data on a spreadsheet.
You're boss walks in and asks, "How're you doing?" Your response: "I'm trying to debug this VBA code because the database search function isn't working within the parameters I need."
Your boss concludes a meeting by asking, "Any questions?" and you think it's hilarious to respond with, "Yes. Why do dictionaries have page numbers?"
You desperately hope someone actually does know why dictionaries have page numbers because you've spent several hours trying to find out with no success.
Your favorite pastime as a 10-year-old was laying on the floor and reading encyclopedias for hours on end.
Rather than using a phone list, your co-workers ask you for someone's phone extension. Yet you still have difficulty remembering your mother's birthday.
You reluctantly go to your 8th grade graduation dance and use a martial arts move to escape from a sixtysomething-year-old teacher who tried to pull you into a dance circle.
Your only reason for attending your high school homecoming dance was to work the snack bar, which was a fundraiser for the science club.
Your favorite high school teacher was the one who let you pull your desk away from everyone else into the corner of the room without making a big deal of it. Your least-favorite teacher was the substitute teacher in that class who made you pull the desk back with the rest of the students.
A co-worker asks you, "So, what do you know?" and you immediately start mentally running through the different categories and sub-categories of knowledge in your brain until you become paralyzed with a data overload because the question wasn't specific enough. |

That one sounds a lot like me.
You might be an aspie if...you love listening to Metallica at full blast, but the sound of a vacuum cleaner annoys you

(raises hand shyly)
Incidentally, dictionaries have page numbers because publishers don't understand that some books simply don't need page numbers. It's traditional to put them in, and that's all they need to know...

... in a conversation you command people to define the ambiguous words in the question they just asked ("define X.").
- because you noticed that your brain just imploded attempting to answer.
- you never notice that other people consider this rude.
- you wonder why no-one considers it rude to ask an obvious ambiguous question.

YMBAAI...you constantly forget to do things like clean house, do your laundry or dishes. Yet you are religious when it comes to maintaining your car, or computer

...if your mother leaves you at Preschool class but when she gets home she receives a call from the teacher complaining that her child is not participating and will not move from the corner to learn with the rest of the class. Your mother than drives back to the school to pick you up and take you home. She then discovers that you were listening and learning the entire time as you are now singing all the songs and reciting all the activities word for word in the car.
...if your favorite game to play during class breaks is to walk through the parking lot and glance at all the license plates on all the vehicles as you walk by and when you get to the end of a row you take out a piece of paper and write down all the plate codes in the order that you saw them and then walk back through to make sure you got it right before proceeding to the next row. (I love this game!) |

If you're still wondering that, my thought is that it's for people who can't easily look up words by letter. For example, in elementary school, a teacher might tell the class which page number to find a particular word. |

Maybe it's for people like me who can never remember whether S comes before T unless they mentally recite the entire alphabet first....(and I find it hard not to move my head along "in tune" with the alphabet song when I'm mentally reciting the alphabet....sad I know)
Or more likely it's just a part of the printing process, as there can be the odd printing error and it's is easier to see if a page is missing or printed in the wrong order if you can check the page numbers run in sequential order?
I also need to look at my hands, remember which one I write with (sometimes having to pretend I'm holding a pen so I can see which looks more natural) in order to determine which direction is left or right (I'm right handed).....not surprisingly I still don't have a drivers license.... |

If, as a child, you were surprised when your older brother told you that Santa wasn't real...but only because it came as a shock that anyone had expected you to actually believe that crap in the first place?
When he tells you (in a concerned voice) "but mum and dad still think you believe in Santa?" you respond...."yeah, I know....I get more presents when they think that" (because to you that makes incredibly logical reasoning and you can't understand why he would think that was unfair and then go tell on you to mum & dad?) |
