    What was the last thing you made?

    I made a Lemon/Poppy Seed loaf with lemon icing, and it came out pretty good. Tonight's chicken was a little overseasoned, I think, but the pasta I made with it was really good; I guess cooking the noodles in broth instead of just water helps soak up some flavor...

    Living Alone

    What do you mean by "upkeep"? I have a cat who's either a Maine Coon or a Norwegian Forest Cat (I don't know the difference, but his mom was a Tortie so he's a mixed breed anyway). Aside from having to brush him to keep his fur from matting, I don't consider him high-maintenance. I don't know...

    What's on your mind right now?

    Funny how being outside when it's dark out is so much more terrifying than being inside with the lights off.

    Living Alone

    I'm in my early 30s and live with my mom. I've never lived on my own, but to be fair neither of us could afford to live alone. But I don't think I could live alone. I'm fine on some things; I have a job, I can go shopping for things I need, I can pay bills on time, I can do minor home...

    guilt for stimming

    When I was little, I got made fun of for looking different. This also made me very self-conscious of my behavior. I can't recall any specific examples clearly, but I definitely remember the feeling of "oh, I don't think this is normal". Like the way I would sit when I was alone and not thinking...

    Would Like Advice regarding Eye Contact

    Wear sunglasses, so they don't know whether or not you're looking at them. Turn your backs to them, don't look at any of them! Stare at your feet. Just... run away... Honestly, I don't know a good answer. Maybe oscillate, like a fan, scanning your audience from left to right, then right to...

    greet passerbys - yes, no, sometimes?

    I don't understand social interactions, so I usually just follow the other person's lead. If they greet me, then I try to greet them back. Sometimes I don't though, either because I didn't hear them clearly (or it took a second to understand them) and don't realise what they said until it's too...

    Echolalia.

    I don't know whether it's echolalia (maybe it is? Word repetition and all). Is there a reason you went with the word "cheese"? Personally, a lot of my meows are just a way of getting out of saying real words, either because I'm uncomfortable, or because I really don't know how to respond. I only...

    What's on your mind right now?

    Next step is to call my doctor to get a referral to a specialist, then maybe, in 3- 6 months, I can get evaluated.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Last thing I watched was The Owl House, but I've also been rewatching Cowboy Bebop lately.

    Last Book You Read/Next Book You Want to Read?

    Currently reading Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha. Next up is A Wizard of Earthsea, then on to the rest of the series. I started reading it once, a long time ago, but for some reason never got very far.

    "Where are you from?" annoys me

    The main thing I don't like about this is that it's so vague. What do you mean, "from"? Where I was born? Where I grew up? Where I live now?

    Bone Conduction Headphones

    Maybe? Depends on how it's damaged, but I think that as long as the inner ear works, these should work too. I mean, they appeal to me. But only because of a fairly uncommon condition, so yeah. But I think they're marketed as keeping your ears free, so you can hear the music without blocking...

    Bone Conduction Headphones

    Has anyone tried these before? They're basically regular headphones, except instead of speakers putting sound into your ears, they have pads that send the sound directly into your head bones (and thence on to the ear bones, and thence to your brain) using vibrations. Maybe some people don't like...
