I've been getting ready to move, so haven't had any time to post, but I'll take a moment to add a few more to the prior post on childhood memories...
Reading John Elder Robison's look me in the eye got me thinking of childhood memories, particularly those where I was a misfit. I've brought several to mind that I hadn't thought of in years. I'll share one or two now, and maybe share others later on.
Just sitting here watching tv, and they played that damn Tostitos commercial again. "I used to think koalas were bears when everyone knows they're marsupials." Unfortuantly, the way the actor says it, I hear "I used to think COBOL-as were bears...", and it takes a couple seconds for me to decipher what he actually says, despite having seen the commercial several times.
I suppose it could have been worse... They could have played an Autism Speaks commercial.
I've been reading look me in the eye by John Elder Robison (http://www.johnrobison.com), about a man who has not only lived with Asperger's, but has lived a full life as an "Aspergian" (his word...I use "Aspie"). It's a good read.
As she said, "you can't do something with nothing." I was hoping she'd be willing to work on it, or have some idea on how to work on it. But, I'd have been happy if she'd just said she'd be willing to let me speak without turning everything against me.
I guess maybe it's good it's happened now, since I was considering asking her to marry me before we started having so many problems the last month or so. But there is no bright side to this. It sucks.
[edit] We're back on speaking terms. [/edit]
She told me just now that she can't speak to me because I twist whatever she says... And I can't speak to her without her ripping whatever I say apart, even if it's something that I would think is cut-and-dry like "I know." So the relationship of two years is pretty much over. I don't know what's been wrong with her, why she's been so critical of me. I don't guess it really matters. Since she doesn't like me anymore, it's over.
Girlfriend and I have been back on speaking terms for several days, but every other or every third thing I say is wrong. Like tonight:

My girlfriend and I are having issues. Lately she's been complaining more and more about me. We had a fight several days ago, where she bitched about something I said. I said I'd just keep my mouth shut from now on, and asked a couple times if that's what she wanted. She never answered, so I have been saying as little as possible to her. I just don't know what to do. I don't want to loose her, but on the other hand, she doesn't seem to be happy with me.
