Answer Sean's Questions — Page 5

Nobody has net linked me into their busty substances before but I remember at art college I went to an exhibition and the artist (a lady of the female gender) noticed me looking at her work (which was a melted child's swing hung in closet full of ashes) and she started chatting about it and asked me on a date.

I would have been a bit more open to it if I didn't notice a photograph of me in her purse.

At that point I thought this was the first time I had met her but I later remembered doing a one day video induction course with her.

The photograph was pulled off the wall when I had my Foundation show and she must have had it with her for about three years.

She was a nice girl.

She never took make up off as such (she just put a fresh coat on) and she would scream if velvet got wet (not a euphemism, I'm talking about clothes, my clothes).

But after three or four more years of her abandoning her Shelleyesque boyfriend to talk to me for hours in the street (often ignoring busy traffic) she sort of lost interest in (or contact) with me.

I want to know more about the Foundation show.

 

I hope it was Asimov related.

I would be weirded out by it. Sending pictures to one person you've been close to for awhile, sure, but posting them on the internet out of the blue... ehhh... that smacks of all kinds of psychological distress.

Sounds like the coffee girl is nice, though. Keep up with her.

 

Did you work for Zynga or something?

Me getting fired has to do with me having no social skills at all. I've been diagnosed with aspergers before. I think the pictures were an attempt to impress me.

 

I just meant that Zynga laid off a couple hundred people yesterday during the Apple press conference (lol apple) to keep it quiet, proving once again that this supposed "shift" in gaming to social games is being mishandled and thus will fail. Can you get treated for Asperger's? Maybe it's time to look into that?

I'd still be weirded out by the pictures. There's just something a bit off about someone who would randomly send such intimate photos to someone who they are (apparently) not very close to. There are some boundary issues there at least.

 

Also: Everything Bingo types is magical.

Yes and no.  There isn't a "cure" per se, but you can learn to cope with it via various therapies and strategies.

I've come very far in being able to socialize, even to the point of me being able to date, but there is always some shit that hits the fan. Lately, it feels like everyone is just picking apart everything I do or say. I haven't had a long term friend for so long, I have plenty of people I talk to, but I usually haven't known them for very long. (Except this girl from high school, she is just as awkward as I am)

I didn't mean cure it, since I really don't think most psychiatric conditions can be "cured" at this point in time.

I just didn't know if there were any special therapies or medications for it, beyond just CBT or just exposure to more social interaction.

Foundation courses usually last about a year and are a a 'foundation' for a degree course so no I didn't have to wire up a positronic neural network or anything.

I did cook images of Christ onto toast and write words with raisins in Arabic in buns, something I continue to do anonymously to this day.

I also made a working alarm clock out of overcooked potato.
