Can't sleep. No doubt stress from this jury thing. Plus my mind keeps coming up with posts I want to make here, mostly anecdotes from my past that may be autism related.
Like this one: Six or seven years old, dressed up as C-3P0 for Halloween. My older sister took me out trick-or-treating. At one house, the door was answered by a woman dressed in an elaborate scary witch costume, and opened the door with a big screechy cackle. I ran, of course, back to my sister who was waiting for me on the sidewalk.
I was embarrassed by my reaction. But whereas most kids would have felt that way because of the display of cowardice, I was admonishing myself for not behaving like a proper robot. Robots don't get scared. (Yeah, I guess I wasn't well versed enough in Star Wars yet to realize that this was perfectly in character for C-3P0. :blob_cat_giggle: )
Anyway, it's a cute memory for me now. It began a long tradition of me acting out the part of my Halloween costumes. It's no wonder my favorite hobby is role playing games! I've got more such stories if anyone's interested.
