Re: Little experiment; What do you all do?
I make short stop motion animations as a hobby. I also like to draw, make plushies, write stories and songs. Oh and I can play happy birthday and the sesame street theme tune on my Harmonica. I'm currently unemployed and seeking work.

Panic Attacks
Today when I was getting ready to leave the house, I had a panic attack. My whole body trembled and I started to hyperventilate. I felt like I needed to escape; from what, I didn't know. But then when I tried to leave the bathroom, the door got stuck. I was home alone and terrified that something ba...

Re: Unable to make my own meals
Well, the newest thing I learned how to make is American style pancakes. My dad pre-cracked the eggs for me and put them in a container for me. I took four attempts for me to learn when to flip the things. The first three times, I tried to flip the too soon and they fell apart. On the forth, was a p...

Unable to make my own meals
When I was in secondary school, they tried to teach me how to cook and bake. But, I always had a trouble with remembering what I was supposed to do and I never mastered cracking an egg. When I tried to crack an egg I got it all over the work surface and the shell in the container. The teacher shoute...

You get it from him!
Those are the words that came out of the mouth of my dad's girlfriend. But my dad's not like me at all. Well, aside from the fact that we both have banged our heads on the cupboard door because we forgot that it was open. And the fact that we've both fallen down the stairs on more than one occasion....

Re: Table manners / food issues
I'm considered to have terrible table manners as I always have difficulty using cutlery which causes me to make a bit of a mess while eating. While eating out I tend to completely unfold my napkin, and place it under my plate. So, if I splatter food by accident, it will go on the napkin and will see...

Is anyone else ambidextrous?
I have found that I am ambidextrous. I often switch hands when I'm writing if one hand gets tired. And in college when there were only left handed scissors available, I used them instead. I had to ask which hand was left before I used the scissors, but I used them perfectly fine. So, are there any o...

Re: Rubiks cubes and BBC's 'The Apprentice'
I never mastered the rubiks cube. I got one and for days on end I would be twisting it in every direction I thought I could. But the colours were always a jumbled up mixture. In the end I got so annoyed with it that I cheated and pulled the colours off and stuck them in the right places.

Re: Talking on the telephone
I have issues with talking on the phone too! I cannot deal with phoning up my local doctors because if no one answers the phone it starts going through a series of telling you what number to press for what thing your calling about and then I get so confused. So, I end up just going down the to speak...

Re: Embarrassing Incidents In Public
I'm so glad I'm not alone with the embarrassment. Another thing that happened in public was I walked into a lamp post. The weird thing about it was that this happened on Friday the 13th. And earlier that same day a car had crashed into that very same lamp post. Luckily for me, my dad was the only on...

Re: hobbies
Please don't put yourself down. It's not good for you to see yourself as stupid. If you can turn thoughts into words, you could be a poet or a writer. I have a list of hobbies, simply because I like to keep busy so I don't have to listen to my thoughts as my brain doesn't have an off switch and it c...

Embarrassing Incidents In Public
Today after me and my dad finished shopping, he decided to go into the barbers and I went in there too because I thought it would be nice to wait for him so we could go home together. Anyway it was really busy in the barbers so I knew we would be there for a long time and I wash peckish. So I tried ...

Re: Hello people!
Thanks for the kind words. All I ever wanted was to speak with understanding people such as yourselves. I wouldn't call animals my strength. But people tell me I can draw and I'm making stop motion animations as a hobby. I hope you don't think I'm a depressing person. I'm not trying to be. I just ge...

Hello people!
Hey there! Call me Lucky for finding a place where people make sense! I'm pretty sure you're all Stars. Allow me to tell you a little more about myself. I'm eighteen years old, so that legally makes me an adult. But I'm really just a big kid. I live in the United Kingdom in Lancashire. I am a female...
