My release papers from Asperger's Penitentiary are coming slowly, but they're coming

Today, I actually caught myself being annoyed that nobody gives me good kitchen knives for presents. Because, you know, I can't get mySELF good kitchen knives, because I already have kitchen knives and they haven't worn out or anything, they're just cheap and not very good but that's just the rules. And the rational part of my mind (at last count one brain cell) grasped that I have untold numbers of these rules, unwritten, unspoken, un- uh, thought out loud, if you will, ruling my life. So I went out and bought a better (or at least more expensive) knife for myself. The gluten-free casein-free no-sugar Big Bowl Of Soil At Every Meal diet will be my deliverance yet (please no Ned Beatty jokes) assuming it doesn't kill me. Huzzah!

Is it anything like Gitmo? :shrug:

Most of us, Asperger's or not, have them and don't even realize it.
BTW, what was the occasion for presents? I remember we share a birthday so it's not that.

over thoughts of Christmas and birthdays. Oh wait! I can't post at 9:31; I have to wait until 9:32! (Kidding (I hope))

A lot of people rehash imagined slights. I'm guilty of it. :hug:

I have hang-ups like that.

:P

that I cannot take even ONE bite of the popcorn until the first lines of dialogue has been spoken.

Thank god I always wait for the DVDs to come out now.:P

it cuts the friendship

so be glad you broke down and bought your own knife
