Ohhh, your syn sounds awesome! I wish I had chromesthesia because it does sound super trippy. Also, I’ve realized that people can relate to that one (it sort of makes sense combining colors+music, apart from the whole feeling-like-an-acid-trip thing). Whereas whenever I explain mine, I get either confused looks and/or…

Well, it *is* kind of amazing. :D

Huh?

Sure! :)

Hey, thanks for the star!

You’re welcome :) I didn’t watch Ally McBeal so I don’t know which guy you mean. I found out it’s on Netflix now and I tried watching it for nostalgia’s sake, to see what it was all about, and I couldn’t make it through the first episode. :(

Maybe she didn’t have electricity at home, thought she could mooch it from the library?

Not a real person, but a fictional one: Christian Clemenson’s character on Boston Legal. He was supposed to have Asperger’s, although I have no idea if it was represented fairly or not.

The “afraid of deep things” lady. Phobia sounds legit-ish...

Was it, perhaps, this New Yorker article? It talks about bibliotherapy and has an interesting segment on how people who read a lot are better at empathizing with others.

My cat immediately came to investigate, and then pawed at the laptop speakers...

To be fair, if people are going to these places for breakfast, it means their blood sugar is probably low and/or they haven’t had caffeine, so...

Hey, I know nothing about professional kitchens, but even I know the importance of washing hands and how it trumps wearing gloves! I cook everyday for myself and I’m constantly washing my hands. Then again, I’m kind of obsessive about having clean hands before putting food in my mouth, and I always carry wipes and/or…

All of the stars in the sky for this reference. <3

I hadn’t even started reading the stories and the first thing I thought was “green tea ice cream.” Even though pistachio or mint are most common, I guess (?).

Or something along the lines of: “Wow, you’re suffering from both Tourette’s AND amnesia at the same time? How awful it must be for you!”

Exactly. 100% agree. It’s called owning up to the consequences of your actions. If you drink enough alcohol -> you get drunk -> get incapacitated to drive. It’s your responsibility (not the server’s, not anyone else’s, ever) to decide “Hey, I probably shouldn’t drive.”

I’ve always wanted to have someone yell at me:

Sometimes they give you chewing gum as change

I cannot read the phrase “chips and dip” anymore and not hear Pete Campbell’s voice in my head :/
