This is a bit of an emo post, unfortunately. Ugh.

I didn't know this, but apparently the Rangers had their eyes on a certain shortstop before he got sick.

Mono saves, people.

Not really, but that would have utterly broken my heart.

I think I did pretty well on my second bio test, which is good considering the entire class failed the first one. I think it's more that my professor's teaching style ( Read more... )

Do you know that I had absolutely no idea that you carry a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome? I must have missed earlier posts about that, but I wouldn't have guessed it based on the way you interact on line, so...take heart, I guess is what I'm trying to say. Also, the right people/important people, as you describe them above, know or will know that you're brilliant, and brilliance is a good thing, especially in this dumbed down society.

Also, there's nothing wrong with being a tomboy, if that's how you think you're perceived. Some women are born to be girly girls and other's aren't (I fall into the latter category and always have).

Have a wonderful time on break, and enjoy that Opening Day! <3

Really? I feel so much less inhibited on the computer - I think it's that I don't have to interact face to face, which has always been hard for me. It's just...yeah. My lack of social skills got me mocked a lot in school, so...not very fun.

My mom was never a girly girl, either (and I guess I get baseball from her, too, since when she was ten she knew the '69 Mets' stats better than anyone else in her class), so I guess I'm taking after her! I just...could never do the hyperfeminine thing that the other girls were doing at my school. It just wasn't me.

Thank you! I'll be sure to take tons of pictures!

I can't say for sure I know how tough it is, but it sucks when the frustrations about yourself hit you like that. I used to get frustrated because people never thought I was smart. I mean I was no genius, but I did at least have a brain. The problem was that my brain was so hyperactive that it usually was too busy going around in circles that it tended to erase some of the things I needed to know. My own friends used to say I was stupid. I did play into it and say that I was dumb but it was more of me being rather dry and just trying to be the entertainer. Hell half the reason I was the entertainer for them was because of them.

(hugs back)

It's just so rough - I was ostracized and made fun of because I was just too different (I went to one of those schools where if you weren't popular, you were nobody, and I hated it). I just...had no social awareness, and to them that wasn't cool, so that's how it went. And ugh, some people just don't understand...it's frustrating, definitely.
