My favorite color is royal purple.
I am 5' 11.5".
I am an assisstant loader at Rural King Supply in Jasper, Indiana.
I became a non denominational Christian at age four.
I love keeping records of most things, having saved every e-mail I've gotten in my entire life, every PM from every forum I've joined, every onlinve conversation I've participated in, and many other things. I thoroughly enjoy visuals, so I have many of the photos in the After Midnight section on my computer's hardrive.
When I play online games with others, or even while going solo, I prefer healing over fighting; I specialize in keeping my allies healed and status ailment free, boosting their abilities, and reviving them when they are defeated. Therefore, I always choose characters that have the highest magic, which typically means the lowest attack and defense, and use white magic, thus the naming of my e-mail address, whitewizard87.
My favorite offline video game genre is RPG, not combinations like action/RPG like Shining Tears for the PlayStation 2, sports/RPG like Mario Tennis for the Game Boy Color, tactics RPG like Final Fantasy Tactics for the PlayStation, something unique like Dramatic/Innovative/RPG like Digimon World: Data Squad for the PlayStation 2, and so forth, although I still like them. They require strategy and no reflexes, with exceptions of games like Final Fantasy, where you have only so much time to decide on a move, or Legend of Dragoon, where "timed hits" or attacks that are increased through precise button pressing, are key elements, and so forth.
My favorite animal is the Brontosaurus, or Apatosaurus as it is called now. If it had to be one that is still alive today though, it would be the Tardigrade.
Although I struggle in understanding simpler concepts, which leads to awkward conversations from several misunderstandings, I notice many minor details many do not. Recently at work, I was asked to load ten, eight foot utility tables, and the department manager of that area pointed to the stack of the tables being referred to. I got there, and ended up just staring at them for a bit, then asked where he said they again, thinking I misunderstood what he had pointed at. So he walked right up to the stack, placed his hand on them, and told me it was these.
At first, I thought maybe I misunderstood the label on them, so I asked him when when the labels say sixty inches, does that mean the whole thing, or a certain part. Now he was confused, and asked what I was talking about. So I told him that he wanted eight foot tables, but the label said sixty inches, indicating five feet. He turned and read the label with a bewildered look, took out his tape measurer, and saw that they actually were eight feet like he had thought.
What had happened was, the manufacturers had placed the wrong label on them, the deliverers didn't notice, the employees that checked them into the store I worked at didn't notice, nor did the manager of that area when he put them on the sales floor, during the days they sat there. I was actually the first one to notice this. Still, when it comes to even simple jobs, explanations have to typically be given numerous times.
I have been diagnosed with Turrets Syndrome, Depression Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, and I will be tested for an Autistic Spectrum Disorder soon. As for the depression, I doubt anybody here noticed such a thing from me, so I acn explain by saying that I was prescribed caffeine pills as a mental stimulus (since I am extremely sensitive to it) and it puts me in a very pleasant, elated, and friendly disposition. I always try taking it before coming in, especially after I posted in the profanity thread. My behavior without that drug can be seen there through my very negative and overly defensive posting in the debate I had with a member there. I feel badly to this day when I think of how I acted there, which I can assure would not have taken place had I been under the influence of my medication. I had only stopped taking it for a bit to help me during my long period of insomnia so I could sleep better; caffeine isn't known to help you relax.
I do not get along with a single family member I live with, consisting of my parents, three brothers, and grandmother. I have some sort of major issue with at least one of them every day for a very long time, so the phrase "I had a perfect a day" couldn't be an honest statement from me for as far as I can clearly remember. "Every" is being used literally; it is no exaggeration. Therefore, knowing what tough times are truly like, I hate knowing someone is having a problem with something and personally doing nothing about it. With my experience with a wide variety of problems, I can usually say something helpful. When someone needs help and nobody can give it, it is a very depressing feeling, so I do whatever I can so that others won't feel that way, at least when I notice; I don't want anybody around me to feel as I do. The RPG class I feel most like is the Geomancer, who becomes connected with his or her surroundings, because whenever someone is feeling badly and I know of it, I feel just as bad.
My frequent apologizing wasn't always a habit. Having little tact in conversations, I would often offend people, only to usually find out much later. When I found out, I would apologize, so I ended up saying how sorry I was very often. Eventually, I started premaking apologies just in case I said something wrong. That way, if I did hurt someone, he or she could know from the start that I meant no ill will because my premade apology would alert others that I wasn't sure if whatever I said was a bad thing to say or not.
I get overwhelmed very easily, so trying to focus on multiple issues that require a lot of it is asking for a serious headache. So unless I'm chatting with multiple people in a single box, giving a single focus at a time, I start to lose it mentally. I have been told by many that I am a very interesting person to talk to, but I need complete focus on just that person to carry such high conversation, as I get distraced very easily. When I was writing my name on a paper in school, someone said the word "milk," and I ended up writng that instead of my name. Once Iwas chatting with the Gang of Five Forum Administrator Malte279. During that time, someone knocked on my door, so instead of writing the response I wanted to before sending it, I actually wrote the word "door."
Ah, this was a good thread idea indeed. For those who may have tried to figure me out, I hope I made your job a bit easier. And like I said in the Asperger Syndrome thread, I am perfectly happy to be what I am, especially since I can't change my personality anyway. Later!
