| I wear glasses full time. If I don't, I would constantly be smashing into walls and objects and goofy things like that. |

| I think I am deffinately the worst when it comes to being annoyed by different sounds. I can't stand even the lowest sounds and have converted to using earplugs (rather attractive, heh). I wasn't wearing them last week during one of my classes and we were watching a movie, there was a lawnmower runn... |

| Life really is like the new song by Tim McGraw: "Live Like You Were Dying". A young girl who was about to go into my school (I was friends with her sister) was hit by a van while crossing the street a few days ago. She was going to a store that carries school supplies and was probably getting stuff ... |

| Well, today was the first day of school and it did not go well at all. All except one teacher (go figure: the special ed teacher) treated me all "special" and stuff. And nobody told me I had an IEP meeting next week! This should all be fine and dandy (yeah ,right). |

| :cry: I ran into a sad situation involving ferrets a few days ago. A non-kill shelter that I volunteer at recieved over 30 ferrets from a collector. Unfortunately most had to be euthanized becuase they were so sick, it was so sad (but prob. better for them becuase they were in so much pain). I hope ... |

| I would say basically the same thing you just said, only I would add in my connection to animals. All I ever do when I am not busy is rescue/rehab/place animals of all kinds for adoption wether it is online or in person. Also, people find me amusing since I am such a first class klutz and I am funny... |

| Welcome to the board! I am known to be very quiet and shy in school (unless someone picks on someone else or myslef, then I get very defensive). Once someone gets to know me though I get to me more outgoing and talk more. I usually am not very good at carrying on a conversation and am never able to ... |

| After reading that article, I am speechless. Too many "facts" that I could personally disagree with in there to list. And if the author of that article cited off of other people's work is that what those authors think too? People need to do more accurate research before writing: it is basically the ... |

People had originally thought I had ADHD/ADD becuase I couldn't sit still/normally. I do know tha... |
