10 random things about me.

1. I'm descended from both Vikings & Vlad the Impaler. It is literally impossible for me to NOT be awesome.

2. I'm 29, but I still refuse to cuss or talk about sex in front of my parents.

3. I was born with red hair and blue eyes, and I now have medium brown hair & dark hazel eyes.

4. I walked at 6 months, ran at 8 months, spoke at a year, and knew the order of the planets by the time I was one & a half.

5. I always put on my socks before I put on my pants. I WILL NOT put on pants before socks. Damn OCD.

6. I suffer from dermatillomania. It's a facet of my OCD & in layman's terms- it's skin-picking. God help any zit that dares to spoil my face. My cuticles are always ragged & scabby, and I have chronic dry lips from picking at them so much. It sucks. You have no idea how annoying it is to never be able to sit still & to always feel like you have to be scraping or chewing on something.

7. I have Asperger's syndrome. I don't have a real severe case, but I am on the Autism spectrum. Overall it's not really that bad of a thing to have, honestly. The only parts I really hate are the crippling anti-socialism & extreme emotional sensitivity(I cry REALLY easily over trivial things sometimes). It's also unbelievably hard to sustain a relationship cause its really hard for me to relate to other people. And being the center of attention in public is, to me, more horrifying than being diagnosed with cancer. I get annoyed really easily and have a hard time controlling my temper too.

If ya wanna get technical(and I always do)~

Impaired social reactions are a key component of Asperger's syndrome. People who suffer from this condition find it difficult to develop meaningful relationships with their peers. They struggle to understand the subtleties of communicating through eye contact, body language, or facial expressions and seldom show affection towards others. They are often accused of being disrespectful and rude, since they find they can’t comprehend expectations of appropriate social behavior and are often unable to determine the feelings of those around them. People suffering from Asperger's syndrome can be said to lack both social and emotional reciprocity.

Although Asperger's syndrome is related to autism, people who suffer from this condition do not have other developmental delays. They have normal to above average intelligence and fail to meet the diagnostic criteria for any other pervasive developmental disorder. In fact, people with Asperger's syndrome often show intense focus, highly logical thinking, and exceptional abilities in math or science.

* Average or above average intelligence
* Inability to think in abstract ways
* Difficulties in empathising with others
* Problems with understanding another person's point of view
* Hampered conversational ability
* Problems with controlling feelings such as anger, depression and anxiety
* Adherence to routines and schedules, and stress if expected routine is disrupted
* Inability to manage appropriate social conduct
* Specialised fields of interest or hobbies.

See? It's not that bad.

8. I absolutely love reading smutty fan fiction in my spare time. My favorite pairing is Bella/Jacob, with Draco/Hermione and Snape/Hermione both vying for second. Yes, I'm a sicko ;)

9. I quit shaving my armpits several months ago. And I must admit, it's quite freeing!

10. I think David Bowie & Alan Rickman are the two sexiest old men alive.
