Off out to buy my dad a birthday card. It's his birthday tomorrow.

I really hate it when my dog meows at me. I especially hate it when my cat barks at me.

No I'm just disorganised, easily distracted, and a procrastinator.

The upcoming movie Brave looks very good. I've always thought the art and stuff looked cool, and when I saw the trailers, I was totally sold on it. I decided to change my avatar to reflect that, kind of - but of course there's a My Little Pony in there too, because I can't be a fan of anything without incorporating ponies into it. :wink:

I'm still looking forward to Dark Shadows, but I'm starting to doubt that it will be able to make its deadline since no official trailers or posters have been released yet and it's less than three months towards its release date.


I love your new avatar. What's the movie, Brave supposed to be about?

Thank you Mick. Brave is basically about a tough, independent Scottish princess named Merida who accidentally unleashes a curse on the land, and she has to find a way to undo it before it's too late.

I sent my sister an e-mail with the subject line, "If you want to understand me, please watch this."

I included YouTube links to the movie Mozart and the Whale.

I feel torn on this.

Happy because I'm reaching out and giving someone I care about a chance to understand me better.

Sad because the movie doesn't at all represent me.

Every day, I feel like everything that comes out of my mouth is only about 10% of what I meant.

The person that most people know me as is a lie.

Even as I click "submit," I'm not happy with this post.

If I died right now, the person that everyone would remember me as is a fictional character.

There's no "real" me.

I'm not suicidal.

I don't plan on killing myself anytime soon.

But if I die tomorrow, that's fine with me.

I've seen enough.

I have succeeded in buying my dad a mildly offensive birthday card.

I don't think there is any AS / Autism based film out there that can truly explain the way an individual is, because a fictional character with a set of symptoms cannot compare with a complex human being with a lifetime of character building behind them. Although I think the characters in Mozart and the Whale are quite well thought out (much better than in Adam anyway) they cannot provide a decent analogue for a real person.

You know what people say "If you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person". So true. The only way for someone to understand you is to get to know you - not autism. Sure, getting them to do their research can help greatly and the odd autism based film can also help to put things into perspective (as long as it isn't too far-fetched) but as well as researching autism they need to experience you. I've had a few occasions where people try to help me by thinking "autistic people are like this and do this and therefore I need to do this and quite frankly I have found it embarrassing and a little demeaning.

I hope whatever is bothering you is sorted out soon. You usually seem so vibrant on here.

I feel I need a secluded place so I can scream as loud as I can, but I live in an apartment :?. I'd only need to do it once... there just feels like there's a large pocket of unpleasant energy within my lungs :|

Maybe I'll take some ibuprofen and try to convince myself that that will cure the feeling :?

I get this feeling sometimes. I just go for it though, and sod the consequence. It does actually help too, oddly enough.

Isn't that one of the listed side-effects of your meds?

It is yeah, but I've been on them for over 6 weeks now and this is the first time it's happened. Probably just a one off.

As far as I know I haven't experienced any side effects - or any effects at all for that matter.
