    Words, Phrases and Sayings you heard when you were younger, but don't hear much nowadays

    Ones I no longer hear are: As thick as a two-bob watch - meaning someone who is stupid or useless. Living off a pig's back - to be rich. Stone the crows - exclamation of annoyance Rad - excellent (only heard this in the early 90's) Couldn't lie straight in bed - hopeless at lying

    What is your preference for COLORS & MATERIALS?

    I prefer cotton or similar materials for clothing, I don't like wool (except as socks) and anything that goes round the neck like a turtleneck collar is a big no to me, tight clothing is out too. Shiny nylon-like material is not a favorite and silk is worse, it feels so slippery and weird. As...

    What is the most random song you have ever had stuck in your head for no reason?

    I had this in my head for days after I heard it and it can still stick in there when I hear it again.

    say two true and one not true thing about yourself

    No #2 is the lie, my arms really are that flexible. I'm guessing that #1 is the lie.

    say two true and one not true thing about yourself

    1): I nearly died twice due to severe illness. 2): I accidently hit my mother while having a night terror. 3): I can rotate my arms by nearly 180 degrees.

    Hand flapping.

    I used to hand flapped as a child but I don't do it now. Sometimes I pace but mostly I rub my hands together, smell my hands, rub my knuckles against my mouth or rub my head (if I'm agitated I'll scratch my head vigorously).

    How many wake up hearing music in their head and lots of racing thoughts?

    I don't know about racing thoughts but I certainty have a noisy mind. Nearly all the time there is music playing, in my head, usually short repeated phrases of a song or tune, I don't lose sleep over it but it can be a bit annoying at times.

    Direct eye contact when interacting with NTs

    I usually make intermittent eye contact and focus on the nose or mouth region (it helps with following what they are saying as well), or I end up staring at some feature of the person (a necklace or a mole). I find the more I like or trust a person the more I can make eye contact also the...

    Infodump about your Special Interests!

    I'm struggling to connect with my special interests due to a bad bout of depression but here goes with my info dump. My interests are Owls, the Titanic, Dinosaurs (Theropods) and the Planets. -- Owls eyes are tubular not round and thus cannot move in the socket, so owls have evolved very...
