I'm 18, and I was diagnosed a good few years ago. I'm attending a private school part time, and have the most caring teacher.Laura wrote:Another Aspie heard from!

That's wonderful that you have such a great teacher. I was in a Depth class in 4th grade (sort of a special class-mostly for kids w/behavioral problems, like I had although I was pretty smart) and my teacher was wonderful also. I still run into her now and then (and she hasn't aged a bit
). Most of my teachers were pretty good, actually.
To be honest, I wish I had been diagnosed as a kid. It would have explained a lot of things for me. I wouldn't have flaunted it, or used it as an excuse for bad behavior (as I've heard some people do), or demanded special treatment (I have no idea what kind of special treatment I would want anyway--ha!), but it would have been nice to know and to explain it to people if need be.

Well, so far for improving things in my life I've only been getting up a lot earlier and eating one meal more a day woot. Hopefully I'll be getting up at the same time consistently, I think once I have that down other things will improve faster because I'll have a lot more time on my hands.
I've already noticed that just being up a few hours earlier I'm already getting bored due to lack of things to do
So I've decided to work on a variety of projects. Most are writing, whether it's a for fun fan-fiction that I've been planning or writing a book which I already have somewhat planned.
Of course I'm not sure where to start, Disney Fan-Fic or Novel
Perhaps both at once if I feel I can handle it.

I miss 'NSync. I really do. I always loved them just as much as I have always loved Backstreet Boys. But Backstreet Boys are still together, making AMAZING music. And Justin Timberlake broke up 'NSync. It's all his fault. He's always been my least favorite member. Even during his MMC days, I never cared too much for him. But he is really talented, I'll give him that. Anyhoo, I always loved both bands equally, but since 'NSync isn't making music anymore, I don't include them when people ask who my favorite artists are, and that pains me. (I'm strange and take my teen pop obsession quite seriously.
) I do with that the other 4 guys would get back together. The fans would be thrilled. If Justin would join them for another album, that might be better. But BSB is doing fine without Kevin (I've never had anything against Kevin, FYI).
'NSYNC, COME BACK!!! I MISS YOU!
That is all. I'm talking to Tim about this on AIM right now, and figured that I'd share my babble with all who want to read it!

I didn't realize they had broken up. Shows you how much I know *lol*. I'm 45 and I guess I'm not up on all the current musicians, although I have heard (and liked) some of 'NSync's stuff. Justin Timberlake did a good job in that movie with Morgan Freeman (sorry I don't remember the title!).blackcauldron85 wrote:I miss 'NSync. I really do.

(Yeah, I mean, it was never officially announced, and I think that some of the guys will say that they never really broke up, but they're not together.)
So, I meant to say "No, Harry" to my dog, but it came out as "No, Corbin".
I was just watching a Corbin video and he was still in my mind, I guess.

I woke up early today (I set my alarm for 6:50am) because Corbin Bleu would be on the Today Show. The show is on from 7am-9am, and then from 10am-11am. I didn't know when he'd be on (and I had set the DVR to record it, just in case, but still), so I woke up to watch it from 7am onward. He wasn't in the first 2 hours, and then I watched "Regis & Kelly", since it was the next show on, and then I had totally forgotten that the Today Show would be on next with Corbin, so I was actually surprised, haha. Well, Corbin's interview came on, but then they cut him off for commerials and local news!!!! They cut his interview short!!! I am so pissed off!!! You invite him on the show, and then you cut him short!!!
I'm not sure if he's performing, but I have a feeling he's not...but I'm not sure. There is still half an hour of the show left, and I'd love for him to perform, but I'm not optimistic.

Lots of happiness today, I finally got around to registering on SCI's website (Stratford Career Institute, the school I belong to) and I sent in an online exam, seconds later it graded it and I received 100%

This makes me very happy since I've improved from my first exam which I got a 95% on. I've finished the third exam but will be reviewing it before sending it in, hopefully I'll continue this streak of good grades

Hi all, I just wanted to jabber a bit.
Yesterday I was helping my dad sort out he's old disney vhs tapes & he has decided to get rid of his goof troop & Gummi bear tapes to make more room for his dvd's.
He said I can have them if I want, I said yes to the bears & no thanks to the goof troops.
It is sad to see them go they are a part of my childhood memories that I treasure so much, I remember watching them with my big brother in his bedroom with a tray with our lunch & some milk & biscuits on it, more than once.

I'm swamped with homework. I'm a senior in High School, I keep putting off my work, no matter how stressed I get at the last minute, every time I wait to the last minute. On top of that, I have to think about colleges and getting a part-time job(which I haven't yet) I'm low on self-esteem and I got the low end of the stick. I also have the world's biggest dumbasses for parents, who can't grasp what I think as obvious! It's Stupid!

just think of 1 thing that you are good at or 1 thing you like about your self, no matter how small or big it is & focus on that instead of all the things you think is wrong with you,
remember it doesn't matter if any one thinks that 1 thing is stupid, all that maters is that you fell good about it.
That helps me, I hope that helps you.

We had quite a scare this afternoon. My mom was picking me up to take me to my afternoon classes, and she brought the dog inside(westie, to be specific) and my Teacher's dog, who's (usually) a really sweet wolfhound, attacks him while he's still in her arms. It was so scary, I didn't even come out of the bathroom. Everyone's okay, though the attackee is still rather traumatized. wouldn't come out of his crate all afternoon. We also found some pink spots, but he's already scheduled for an appointment at the vet tomorrow, so we'll know then if he's injured. Right around the neck! Only Ann Heinrich would be known to adopt crazy(or semi-crazy) dogs like that.

You know how when websites are secure, there's a picture of a lock? Well, I got an email about a job I sent my resume & cover letter to, saying that I needed to fill out the online application. The online application had no "lock", yet I still had to fill in my social security number. I didn't feel happy about that and have a bad feeling in my tummy about it. I then clicked on my email tab, since my friend wrote me something in GMail chat. Well, I had a new email from this company, and it turns out they don't want me. After I typed in my SS number. I mean, I didn't fully submit the application, but I still don't feel good about it...I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little worried.

I recieved an email from my friend today, it's put me in a rather foul mood. Apparently her and her boyfriend are going through a rough time because he's paranoid that she's going to cheat on him with me. The odds of that happening are like slim and none considering I have no intrest in her in that way at all. So now she's decided to cut off all contact with me for an unknown length of time. I find it frustrating that her boyfriend doesn't have the guts to just talk to me about this, what's so hard about about just coming up to me and asking how I feel about her or if I'd ever let something like that happen? I can understand that my friend wants to make this relationship work but there's better ways of doing it than doing it the way she is right now. Honestly I'm not sure if she should even bother working things out with him, he obviously doesn't trust trust her because she mentioned he gets jealous and thinks she's going to run off with any other guy. But she's not really in a place where she can break up with him since she's living with him and his family because her Dad booted her out since she wouldn't pay him rent (which I think is pure crap and he should smacked very hard)
.................anyways, foul mood all around for my babble. Hopefully the rest of you are having better times than me
