1. I also had Asperger-like tendencies when younger. Less bad now. I've gotten over most of the misses-social-cues thing, mostly through conscious effort and practice. I can converse comfortably with just about anyone now, (if I really want to), though I find it mentally tiring.
2. I have a tendency to OCD, in an odd way. I get addicted to hobbies and spend insane amounts of time and money pursuing them wildly. But just until I start getting good at whatever it is. Then I lose interest. Hence the unfinished fic (I'm trying), and the abandoned kiln and wheel and a few $1000 worth of clay and glaze chemicals sitting lonely at my old house.
3. Currently I have two hobbies that have been through a few go-rounds and come back for more: cello and ballet. I'm in a Renaissance phase.
4. Another former obsession was ice hockey, along with weight-lifting. I can't explain it.
5. I did once create a sock puppet here, though it was not used as such. I never conversed with it, or used it to act like a different person. I had had unpleasant run-ins and wanted to post to RWED without the baggage. I eventually decided that was stupid and returned to being myself. (I'll let someone else figure out who I was. It was some time ago. 
)

Awwww, no fair. You have all that and you no use it? I have always wanted to pick it back up.... it's sooo soothing. Too expensive for us, it's "fix the electrical and pay for soccer or support mommie's fix"-No contest there... Not much profit in it these days,anyway ... but it's fun just the same. Why create when you can Corell and use the same dishes for 100,000 years?

Mal is currently who I am.
My faith is all but gone. I just need to keep flyin'.
Not that I'm gonna be pulling a heist on any banks soon...
But it *would* be nice to be bored by the Shepard's sermons from where I stand.

(I grew up in Omaha. When the bars closed, across the river we went, to the land of Iwegia and the bar by the tracks, for a jack and coke and a game of darts and a show when the police came by looking to serve a warrant... Oh the good old days!)

Quote:For me, it's the issue of having time. All that recycling of clay and mixing of glazes isn't easy. And setting up the kiln safely. Someday, I want to get back to it. I loved it!

Location is also a problem. I really want to do more raku, but it's not so easy to do smokey outdoor firings in my neighborhood.

Did you see the other day something about England made it where you can't blog things anonymously? What the hell is up with>>
that? That's half the fun of the internet!
