Sorry for the double post but I don't want to make the other one super long and hurt your beautiful eyes.         

I am also frustrated that I missread a question on my GED book.     There was a discussion about why having a pet is important to owners and I ended up putting in good-effects and bad effects instead of the most important reasons.   

The teacher did say my good-ideas and bad-ideas were typed very well using good vocabulary,correct grammer.etc but I kinda got side-tracked..............I was tired. :( but I feel more better.

Thanks guys for the encouragement.  :)  I actually do tend to notice more details such as the leaves for what they are then most people.   I also am very intrested in weather/climate and studying the links between it all so I tend to notice weather differences too in how it effects scenery.     I'm very weird that way and I also post on a weather blog.   

You're not "weird that way", that's just autism for ya  :D. You have a gift for seeing connections between things naturally that the rest of us have to train ourselves hard to be able to see. Of course, that gift comes with social drawbacks that can often be frustrating or in worse cases a severe handicap, but that's just the way things are. Life blesses you with one thing but takes another away.

I bet ceiling fans are interesting to you too. But maybe not. Everyone with autism experiences the attentive and visual effects a little bit differently. The person I was speaking of earlier is mesmerized by fans. She says they are extremely distracting and she can't focus at all if she is in a room with a fan.

Yeah, this thread is the best thing since sliced bread. Everyone feels better after posting here.

Triforce, sounds like you could enter a career as a meteorologist, or meteorological theorist or something.

I may very well have Asperger's,* a form of Autism...

*Fixed for you.

I just wanna make sure you know, but by saying that you have made yourself similar to both me and Schala, as we both have Asperger's Syndrome.

Current gripe: My mom

Reason: She won't leave me alone about some school work I wasn't able to do and the semester's already over. I get new classes on Wednesday.

I can't spell that word... but it was just suspected. Apparently, when I was younger, I could only relate to the world through Pokemon. What a sad time... at least then it was amazing.

Personally, I hate the way things work at our school. This is our first year with semester class switches for everything and it hasn't gone well. If we were doing it the old way, we wouldn't have even started on the nasty English project and would have gotten work we needed done... done. But now... we didn't touch romanticism in American literature and are barely familiar with analogies.

I hate school sometimes...

Romanticism, *shudder* I do not have much of a care for those. Why, just the other day I had a bit of a disagreement with Keats.

Of course, having said that, now ZeaLitY will strike at me with all righteous fury. The Romantics, as I recall, are dear to him. But Keats... I laud his passion, but his understanding of Homer is lamentably lacking. Oh, Keats, you may wonder, wonder at Homer, but all his bloody ferocity is lost upon your tender spirit!

So there is my frustration for the hour. Keats, and the Romantics, and their neoclassical view of antiquity.

Tea, y'know, if they're teaching you how to pass an exam, I can sympathize. That's how it's done over here in my EOC classes. My Civics+Economics teacher from my sophomore year hates it too, since there are subjects she loves to cover, but can't since they're not covered in the exam.

IMO, teaching students to pass an exam is fucking bullshit, and I side with my Civics+Economics teacher.

Ah, that is always annoying.

Too bad there isn't a "Praise Thread", because the Mr. Chopstick's asian restaurant in Denton, TX is the greatest asian food place ever. Ever. I guess my frustration would be that other asian food places aren't as good. I'll miss that place when I move out of this crappy town.

Well damn, I feel like a gen-you-eine dumbass.  :shock: I've even posted in that topic before, which makes me a double-dumbass. Chief Dumbass of Dumbassville if you will. And I will.

I'm way too tired to even think straight anymore. I need sleep.

Nah, just that one wouldn't think it was a praise thread. You're not a dumbass, Eric. Honest.

I remember sometimes it said "processing..." and never really done. I came back another day, and it was still "processing", so I deleted it and reuploaded one.

I was playing Ace Combat 5, on the mission to shoot down the Arkbird. It was about to leave the combat area through the west, but managed to destroy the engines.

But instead of turning south, as it should have, it kept going west, even though the current dialogue was the one meant before it turns south.

So, it kept going west, and got out of the area, and I lost. And when I thought there was nothing worse than the 30 or so failed attempts at Mission 13...

I was about to finish the final level when a piece of debris killed me.  :picardno
