Fricki'n Fan

There is little that is more annoying than a flickering moving light caused by a loose fan, add the noise to that and you've got a deal breaker.

Interrupting Human Says What?

In retail I've really run into some social conundrums. Like this one.

A little Too Waspy

I'm really not sure how her being a school teacher somehow gave her the power to sense if there was a wasp in my car, but I digress.

Waking Up Aspie

Change itself is hard for an Aspie. But I have had such life altering things happen to me that sometimes when I would wake up I have to convince myself that those things really happened.

Ok?...

I will never understand what seem people will allow to happen, and forgive.

Unfortunately a true story. I was in a new school for a week. I was already being bullied by the students. So I doodled on my notes in class. Enough so that the teachers of my classes took it upon themselves to "teach me a lesson." They put me in a room and mocked my artwork. They threw away my art supplies, and they told me I would never do anything with it.

Well You've Got Me There

Well You've Got Me There.

My brother's friend bought a "camera' from a bum and it turned out to be fake. I saw the same exact camera at a pawnshop an hilarity issued.

Oh RIght! Cousins Can Be Girls.

Oh Right! Cousins Can Be Girls.

This is how I met my fiance. Love at first...unwilling venture from the house.

Good (Wheel) Lord

Good Wheel Lord

Of all the people to profile.

Stick To The Plan

The best laid plans. I used to sit in my car before I went inside a place and plan out my conversations with the people inside. I didn't want to get caught off guard, but most of the time I was.

Couldn't Be Me

When telling someone who knows about a situation somewhat about how the situation has affected me, they somehow feel the need to distance themselves from the situation. It's as if they feel like I blame them personally.
