| This semester I am doing a laboratory based three week intensive course organised and facilitated by a guy who is really starting to rile me. He has information diarrhoea - when he goes over complex things e.g. laboratory work, before we have to do it, he gives us EVERYTHING in one go, and then asks... |

| This comes under "rigid-thinking", which is an ASD thing (for some reason, I can't see how "right" equates to rigid, but eh, that's what they say). I must lose arguments, as I like losing; I hate being right, it annoys the hell out of me Don't worry - 'rigid' is probably a typo for 'right' and the ... |

| Does anyone else have the problem I have, which seems to be a sort of compulsion that forces you to stay up and alert and not sleep, even when you know you need it? I have it now; it's nearly midnight, and I have to be up at 8:40 tomorrow. It feels like my mind is perfectly active, and my body does ... |

| Lets talk about rulers. Which do you prefer? 15cm or 30cm? I once saw a 1m long ruler, though possibly that was a little too big for convenience. 30cm ones have a more satisfying feeling when you draw along them, although you can take 15cm rulers around with you in a normal sized pencil case. And sp... |
