Me too, except I don't just fall asleep afterward. I just stay up until everyone else has been asleep for an hour or two.

I am such a picky eater that I have pretended to have food allergies in order to not have to eat certain things. For instance, I am allergic to lasagna but not to spaghetti.

20 years for Hyperception and me a week from Thursday.
In spite of everything...

Congrats in advance to you too, Menolly!

i also fell asleep standing when i was a kid. propped against the furniture.

As a child (age 6-10 or so), I would often lay awake at night in the dark (near-total darkness: I could not sleep with a nightlight) and if I stared long enough I would start to see shapes and textures in the darkness, phosphors and vortices of midnight in my bedroom. I can sometimes recreate this in my adult life, but it is very difficult, as I am usually asleep with 2 minutes of laying down in a dark room!

Also at this young age, I distinctly remember having the ability to "think outside myself", marveling at how insignificant I was - not in a depressed way, but remarking on the largeness of the universe, and wondering about my purpose in it. I have tried to capture that feeling many times since, but can't do it without the help of much alcohol.

I am the owner of a sweet boxer named Biscuit, who growls at me when I tell her she stinks, and bites me when I call her a Steeler fan.

I'm a big fan of the writtings of Stephen R Donaldson.

The GAP Into Emoticons is a good book by him. LAWL.

Almost every man I've dated has been a guitar player, and several have been in bands.

I was a guitar player in several bands ... kidding.

Wait. . did I date you at some point?

Im hurt, you dont remember do you?

Umm. . . sorry?

I can read the same books over and over again. Some I've read well over fifty times.

i tended 12 sheep and 1 goat for a crazy professor julie worked for.

I had a goat when I was 13, named Clarence. He ate my uncle's farmland away for about an acre, so they killed him and tried to cover it up.

I'm also writing a series of comic books.

i created a comic book world when i was high school.

I created a comic when I was a kid. It was called Star Warrior. I can't imagine what inspired that name...hmmm....
