Oh, awkward...
So, I have Asperger’s Syndrome, which I’ve mentioned before, and I’m on the Board of Directors of an Asperger’s organization called GRASP (the Global and Regional Asperger’s Syndrome Partnership). Obviously, I’ve never done anything like this before, so I am still learning some of the protocol. I just responded to a group e-mail sent to the Board, and I ended...

Life's a Beach
I went to the beach today with a very good friend. It was the first time I’ve gone all summer. The weather was perfect: Clear blue sky, bright sun…hot, but not too hot. Just hot enough. Lying there on the beach, my legs still tingled from the cooling waves that were crashing against them moments earlier, and the horizon seemed to stretch on forever.
Salt and sea, sand, earth, sun, and...

Whisper Words of Wisdom
So, two months ago, I was in a very bad car accident. I was on the way home from Massachusetts when I got two flat tires on the Merritt Parkway. Okay, bad luck, but not horrific. The car got towed, the tires were replaced, and then I was off and on my way, trying to get back to New Jersey. About an hour later, I was on the Garden State Parkway. I was tired, having my monthly woman time, a little...

Questions?
Anyone have any questions for me? It’s the middle of the night, and tired as I am, I’m feeling restless. Ask box is open for questions if you’ve got any.

A Few Notes About Seeing Micky Dolenz Solo
Now, I’m generally hesitant to write full recaps of shows anymore, just because of how I have been burned before. So this is going to be sort of an abridged version of the recaps I used to write—a run-down of the highlights of the day, rather than a detailed play-by-play. But I hope you will enjoy it all the same.
The show was outdoors, at this huge ampitheatre in a public park, right...

Why you do this to me, Tumblr? WHY?
I was gonna post some more stuff about seeing Micky solo, but Tumblr was cockblocking me for the past SIX HOURS, and now I think I’ve lost all desire to post. Sheesh.

And they’re not even penises of people whose penises you particularly care to see anymore.
…Why the hell do I have so many penis pictures on my computer, anyway?

I’d probably go even if it was 120. xD You’re seeing Micky solo? :O
Yeah, it’ll be my first time. A friend of mine works for him, and she told me about the gig. It’s not too far from here, and I’ve never seen him solo before, so I figure, what the hey. Plus, I’d rather be...

My Head is Too Full
Too many thoughts, whistles, pings Dissonant noises, buzzes and stings One truth now revealed A balm to the ache, on delicate wings.
Searing wind, endless miles wandering along, tiptoeing on tiles Dancing, drinking From dusty glass vials. Arms of comfort, built not to last Planting the seeds of what has already passed To outrun the day Means running fast.
Legs standing firm in a confident gait...

When I read this, I went numb. Arms, legs…nothing. No feeling. I can’t begin to describe the level of anger that rises inside me when I hear about things like this. Knowing how many people on the spectrum there are—kids and adults—who are the easiest people to prey on, for a multitude of reasons.
We tend to be the very definition of “helpless...

ohcamil replied to your post: 8 (I always ask this one), 12, 17
I don’t hate chocolate but I’m very picky about it & could live without it. Oddly, even though I always say it like that, people always read that as “I HATE CHOCOLATE”. I always eat the ears of gummi bears first.
People have said such ridiculous things to me when I’ve said that I don’t like chocolate: “What?!...

Writing's on the Wall
Whenever I hear a cadre of teenage girls cackling shrilly in the nearby vicinity, I still for a split second wonder if they are laughing at me.
I don’t really think they are. More than anything, it’s the volume of their voices that bothers me—because for some reason teenagers operate at a different decibel level than the rest of us.
But I still remember that awful feeling of...

My dad went to the Newport Music Festival in 1965,...
He just remembers doing a lot of driving.
Me: Dad, did you see Joan Baez?
Dad: I’m not sure.
Me: How about Bob Dylan?
Dad: I don’t know. Maybe. I just remember I drove a lot and it was really crowded.
…I could cry.

Anyone want to ask me something?
I’m quite fond of questions, as it were, and being that it is Friday night and thus, the feeling is right, I will happily answer anything you throw into my Ask box. Whee!

The Price of a 'Quality Education'
When I was four years old, my parents and I moved out of the house we were living in, to another house one town over. It was just three blocks away, but this seemingly insignificant move had far-reaching implications: it put us in another school district, which was supposed to be a very good one. This isn’t so strange, though; plenty of parents have moved to different towns to ensure that...

ohcamil replied to your post: Home, where my thoughts are sleeping.
Don’t be angry at yourself. Seriously. I have been on both sides of the you/Patrick equation and there was no family wide shunning with a sneer involved ever; this isn’t about you, it’s about THEIR lack of social grace. Truth.
Aww, thank you. I try to tell myself that, but it’s so hard when I remember all of these...

This is completely off topic here but I love your hair. Also, you look very happy in this photo :)
Aww, thank you! My hair is not at its best here, but I appreciate that nonetheless. :D And I was very happy here…I had just gone through an extremely horrific pseudo-breakup (“pseudo” because I was...
