Aspies For Freedom

He he... in third grade, sometimes we'd win prizes with our lunches. This one boy got some Harry Potter trading cards and this girl got some action figures.

Someone1: I like hers better than his!
Someone2: No, his are better than hers!
Girl: Well, those are just cards!
Me: Well, cards can be worth a lot of money sometimes.
Girl: Yeah, like anyone would pay a lot of money for a card that I can print off the Internet!!

Just the snobby way she said it made it sound really dumb.

Also, the kids in my class used to try and get the shortest swing, because, "The highest swing would go the highest!" I used to try and get the longest swing and argue that no, the LOWEST swing would go the highest. My friend looked at me with this disgusted face and said, "How can the LOWEST swing go the HIGHEST?" I never did manage to prove that to her.

Also, in a pool one time:

Girl1: Did you know there's no gravity in water?
Girl2: Really?
Girl1: Yeah, that's why you stay up.
Me: Umm... yeah, there is. Otherwise how come the water doesn't float away?
Girl1: There's gravity AROUND it, there's just no gravity IN it.
Me: *is now getting really mad* But - but!! The water just pushes you UP!! Like, like -
Girl1: OK, OK, just calm down. There's no gravity in water, OK? Now you know.

The thing is, that was the year before I took physics. *sigh* If only that conversation could have happened one year later, I could have known the word was "buoyancy" and stuff. Weirdly enough, they were both older than me, so they should have already learned that.

This girl, talking about this other girl behind her back. I mean, she talks about EVERYONE behind their back. She seriously spends her entire life looking for excuses to hate people. But this one girl, Hayley, is a really nice girl... so she had a bit of a hard time with her.

Girl: Oh my gosh, Hayley is getting on my last nerve! Yesterday I saw her walk into Mr. Vanderhaeghen's room and she was like, "Can I do extra credit?" and he was like, "It's on the board", and she was like, "OK, where do I put it when I'm done?" and he was like, "In that box over there."
Me:... *waiting for something more*
Girl: And she KNEW!!

Actually, I think I can come up with a lot of dumb quotes from that particular person.

And of course, the classic:

Me: I think I have Asperger's Syndrome.
Friend: What's that?
Me: It's a mental thing.
Friend: *freaks out* What? So you're going to sneak into my room at night and murder me???
Me: > No! It's not a big deal! It's cool! I have the same mental illness as the guy who invented Pokemon! Isn't that cool?
Friend: No, it's not cool! You have a mental illness! You need to go to counseling!!

She reacted stronger than I did.

Anyway... enough babbling for one post...

Some ignorant kid whose Dad happened to be a neurosurgeon once told me that her Dad had said that if I had Aspergers Syndrome I would be crippled!!!!! I told her what cra* that was and she didnt believe me!
          Also someone once said to me that it wouldnt be rude to deliberatly hurt the feelings of someone you didnt like!
       Another person once told me that only people with nice hair got nits. That person was very vain and considerably stupid.

and rightly so!
the dumbest comment i have had is sheep-boys etc because a member of my unit was obssesed with sheep (we didn't like him much)
and the idiots outside thought it was funny to shout that through the windows B*******

A classmate looking at my wrist, "Did you cut your veins?!"
Me, covering the laceration with a sleeve like I didn't want him too see it, "Ahh... yes."
"Shouldn't you do it a bit lower?" (Should I? )
"I missed."
Then I realized he really was thinking I was probably training before trying to commit a suicide. Then I looked at the cut - it was S-shaped and done by my cat...
...


"You are never smiling. You are always wearing black. And boots. You are a devil-worshipper. *** you." (one of my favourites even though I don't look like this anymore)

"Your shoelaces are in two different colours!" (O RLY?)

"Haha. Oh, Paula. You make me sprawl." (A classmate keeps telling me this when I react in a way that she considers odd. At least I think it's the reason. She's quite... odd.)

The same girl asked me on a beginning of IT lesson while we were still waiting for the teacher to come - I visited this forum and suddenly I found her staring at my computer's screen:
"AFF? What is AFF?"
"It's... similar to HRR."
"HRR? What is HRR?"
"Oh, you know. Cockchafers make a 'hrrrr' sound."
"Ohh! Haha!", and she returned to her screen (wise decision).

My one neuro-typical cousin was driving my mother, sister, grandmother, and I to a family reunion. Along the way we passed a sore called, "The House of China". My mother wondered what they sold there. I said "maybe china". My cousin said "they can't sell china. It's a Communist country". At first I thought that we was trying to be funny. When he didn't laugh, I told him that I meant glassware. He said "oh, that china." Amazingly he's a colledge student, and I'm not.

He meant that you can not own land in China. Eventhough I know that you are right. Many private, even foreign, buisnesses exist in red China. He didn't realise that however, eventhough he has a bachelor's degree. My mother guessed that they sold chinese made goods, before I gave my opinion.

^ Itchms, take that as a compliment. Unless you don't like your local hair stylists. ^_^

...that must've been annoying.

That "China" quote was pretty funny...

Anyway, here's a dumb comment from my dad:

"Children don't have rights."

He was being totally serious, too. Uuuuurgh!! It irritates me to NO END when he says things and he thinks he's soooo right but no matter how many times I try to tell him he's wrong he doesn't even listen. Urgh, stupid know-it-all.

To be fair, most people have been brainwashed by society into thinking that anything with the word "syndrome" at the end of it is bad. [/align]

Hardly surprising.  Few Catholics read the Bible.  It's not encouraged.  T=If they do, they might start interpreting it and realize that the Church is wrong.

DITTO!

(I'm in a funky mood today, folks)

(Where I live, ice is not cut into cubes, but kind of... taco-ish shapes. I dunno the word for it. But most people call them "ice cubes", anyway... and at Science 9 CP class... we had to identify all these rocks.)

Kid named Ricky: *turns to us, holding two rocks. One looks like a 3D trapezoid whatever that's called, other one looks like two 3D rectangles whatever that's called* Guys, which one looks like a cube!?

Some girl: Hmmm... *points to two rectangles* that one!

Ricky: *turns to his group* SEE!? See, I TOLD YOU SO!!

Girl: Wait... what's a cube again?

Some boy: You know, like an ice cube!

Girl: Oh, yeah, an ice cube! Wait - that one doesn't look like an ice cube! Duh! What was I thinking? *points to trapezoid* That one, then.

A few days ago, I saw bags labeled ' to make ice cube balls '.

I hate ....

What are you reading?..............a book?

Why are you reading that?...........Because I want to.

It's getting dark early..........it does every year.

Why do you listen to that music.....because I like it.

LOL, ice cube balls.

^ Oooh, yeah. And when parents argue with you during the WHOLE trip to school about whether you should have worn a heavier jacket. And then they keep pointing out all the people with slim jackets that "look like they're freezing", even when they don't. And when you point out people who *don't* look like they're freezing, your parent says, "Yeah, well, they look ***, so they don't count." WTH?

"If I knew what I needed to do, why the heck would I be talking to *you* about it?"

Ocampo, yours were hilarious.

I haven't watched any of those shows, except like two episodes of Friends when I was like eight and my parents watched it.
