My husband does think I have the traits. But this hasn't helped us very much. Nothing has changed.

I have to do shorter trips now, 2 weeks now- with a private room at the hostel and a seat on the train

I go into the woods. I'm happiest twenty hours from pavement. Love sleeping in tents.

Bass is just so frustrating because nothing covers the noise.
It goes through everything, music is fine because I can turn on music or put in ear plugs, but bass shakes walls, cuts through ear plugs, goes over white noise.
I absolutely hate whoever invented it.

Now you're all probably wondering what kind of idiot doesn't bring a towel.
It's the kind that hates bag check so much; that I stuff what little I can get into the backpack to make it fit as a carry on..... Yes, for a trip longer than a month...

I've arrived at my meeting. I cannot stop eating today. Like a bottomless pit. I don't usually feel hungry or eat after I get home.
I was thinking about picking up on social cues. Sometimes I can do it. Sometimes I'm oblivious. It's the oblivious that causes discomfort. But it reminded me of the most recent Dr. Who episodes. There were bits were something happened that he knew he needed to say something but was at a loss so he'd whip out cue cards and shuffle through them to find the appropriate response. I could so identify with that.
Sao, I'm picturing bad sateen dresses when I read bridesmaid. Too bad.
Time to go in. See you all later.

First Saturday morning I've woken without having drunk copious amounts the nights before. I still feel and look hung over though. I am trying to keep my liquids up and I know it'll get better. Gotta keep busy today so tonight I'm too exhausted, or feel too happy with myself for finally having a productive Saturday, that I don't drink.

It must've been a survival skill from a very early age.
I remember being plunked down into daycare (must've been 3 or 4) and being absolutely petrified of being surrounded by what I thought were aliens.
I felt no connection with other children, none. I screamed bloody-murder for hours until my mom arrived.

I started this journey more than ten years ago! So, it feels very satisfying that I'm nearly done. No, I don't look very different. My face is just perfectly balanced now from the side.
This should put an end to some of the teeth-grinding at night as well. One molar on the right side was taking a lot of force, and so this should correct all that.
It also helps with breathing. It opens up my mouth space some.
And I can also tell it's changed my vocal sounds -- a bit of a deeper sound because it's a larger mouth now.

Hi goingnowhere! Sorry you had a rough day. Hope things are better soon 
Yay piggin! You're on your way!
Ruby....I'm like that the day before my period. Otherwise I'm a picky eater and don't think that much about food.
Sao...I picture you as the traditional type with a classic sense of style. Skinny jeans would never fit my perception of you.
I got some mangos today and they are goooood! Just had them with strawberries yum!
