: "I think I'm a little autistic, too."
"We're all a little autistic."

It's always good when someone tells me they do one thing and that that means they're a little autistic. Quiz them on the other stuff, and ask if they have most or *all* of the, and then the convo gets awkward for them real fast.

"50 Ways to Leave Your Lover"
The Short One

This is the first song I remember consciously recognizing -- that wasn't a Sesame Street or other kind of children's song. I was four years old. I remember where I was and what I was doing when I realized I recognized it.

: This mood and song is almost always somewhere in one of my 6, sometimes 7 trains of thought at any given hour. That's in part because I love this video made for the song. And also because while I don't run away with my anger caused by other people over my life, I let it run around in my head like it wants to.

: When the friends I told years before they were being cheated on and taken for a ride by their S.O. and they told me I was stupid, jealous, etc. see me again a few weeks or months after they learned the hard way that they were being cheated on and taken for a ride by their S.O., this is me.

Patterns do not lie. When someone with ace-level pattern recognition tells you what they see, listen to them and at least check it out.

: My dating advice for women is "Get you a man who can do both," and if they really want to get crazy, "Get you a guy who can do both... at the same time."

2/2: ...a complicated algebra, though pretty predictable, like more than a few people things-that-happen. I am pretty WYSIWYG, and I'm told by a few exes I'm also fractal, like some kind of Alien Nesting Nerd (as opposed to a Russian Nesting Doll). This is not a lament, only an observation and statement of fact. I make do, as one does.
