Absolutely lovely questions ButterflyDreame!

I am not a psychologist yet, I am working towards that though! But saying that, I DO know a good bit about AS. It's a form of autism, but one that isn't so severe. I think AS is also overdiagnosed in my opinion, but it is a pretty prevalent condition, and it varies from person to person. The most prevalent characteristic is a form of social impairment. Those with AS can function fully and prosper just fine, but they are often a little behind the curve socially and develop a little later than others. These kids often have trouble 'reading' people in social settings, like their body language and intonations and such. But they often make up for this impairment by overcompensating in other areas, and being extra astute!

For your second question, I have almost always wanted to be a child psychologist. When I was really little though I wanted to be a world renowned oceanographer and swim with the sharks, lol.

And heck yes I have always been a cat lover! Lol. But since I got Conner I have become cat-obsessed.

Thank you for your questions and glad to have you as a member on TCS!

Great question Lilleah, lol, short and sweet!
I drink Coke Zero if I drink any soda at all, it has no cals or sugar, so yep, it's diet!!! (But for some reason I can't stand Diet Coke, but I can do Diet DrPepper)

Rumpy, you have got to be one of the goofiest members we've got!
Ok here goes...

1. Which rhymes best with Sanctie? Umm...out of your options I'd have to say 'spank me', lol. But don't go around calling me "Spank me Sanctie"!
2. Gagged byself with a spoon? Um no, why? Have you?
3. Puked on a bun? Lol, no, can't say that I have. Is that even a literal expression? yuck!
4. Gagged myself with a finger before. Being sick when drinking and desperately needing to, umm, relieve my stomach of the alcohol, lol. Ah the things we do in moments of desperation.
5. That's easy...teqiula.
6. I like making homemade chicken alfredo, but I've screwed it up a time or two. Came out with chewy noodles and too much nutmeg...ick!
7. Simple pleasure...white mocha coffee...makes my day all better for a whole 10 mins, lol.
8. If my name weren't Stevie? Hmm, my mom WAS going to name me Cheyenna Lenay, lol...but if I were something different I think I'd be an Alex or a Carmen.

10. I think I'd look magnificent with perfect paisley hair. Whadda you think?
Fantastic questions Wyan, even if they WERE a little loopy! I wouldn't expect anything less from you!

Oops, I missed Ryan's last two questions!!! Ack!
Let me remedy that...

11. Last tv show I watched was 'The War At Home'...funny stuff.
12. I like talking about my sweetie, Conner! Either that or psychology...it's like talking 'shop', I love it!

Lata macaroni n cheese head!

I'm caught up with this thread now. Both entertaining questions and answers. I'll just ask a few simple ones:

1. What exactly does "lata mash potata" mean and why do you use that phrase?

2. If you explained it before, I missed it: What does your username mean?

3. Are you more likely to be on the giving or receiving end of a dutch oven?

What was the last thing you ate?
Favorite type of cake?
What song, when you hear it, makes you stop everything, turn it up and dance and sing along?
If you had to live somewhere other than Israel, where would it be?
Where did you go on the last vacation you took?
What is the oldest thing in your refrigerator? How old is it?

Have you ever had a Szechuan pickle?

Alrighty...for Ryan's Q's:

1. What exactly does "lata mash potata" mean and why do you use that phrase? I got it from a friend of mine, instead of saying 'goodbye' or 'see ya later'...."Lata Mash Potata" rhymes and is so much more upbeat, lol!
2. If you explained it before, I missed it: What does your username mean? It is a shortened version of the word Sanctuary. I am the type of person who can handle anything, kind of 'the rock in the midst of the storm' kinda thing.
3. Are you more likely to be on the giving or receiving end of a dutch oven? Umm, we're talking about the thick metal cooking pot, right? Are you asking if I'd rather be the person putting food IN the pot, or if I'd rather be the pot? LOL. I'd choose to be the 'giving' end, pots are boring.

And now for Karen's...

What was the last thing you ate? Turtles Candy..yum!
Favorite type of cake? Yellow cake with chocolate icing...best kind there is!
What song, when you hear it, makes you stop everything, turn it up and dance and sing along? Ooh, challenging one...we'll go with Fever by Peggy Lee!
If you had to live somewhere other than Israel, where would it be? Umm, Karen dear, I don't live in Israel, isn't that Anne? Hmm, if I had to live somewhere other than TEXAS, it'd be Washington.
Where did you go on the last vacation you took? To the Gaudalupe River...it was a camping trip.
What is the oldest thing in your refrigerator? How old is it? Probably the mustard, it's prob over a yr old, lol.
Best gift you ever received? I am sentimental, so I really loved when one of my good friends made me a photo book with little descriptions of memories we made together. The book documented an entire year of my life, this past year up to Feb (my bday). It was a hard but empowering year for me.
Worst gift you ever received? Someone gave me a stuffed whale inside an empty mayonnaise jar once.
favorite flower? Sterling roses..they're a purplish grey color. Pretty! I like orchids too, bright red please!
what is your favorite piece of jewelry? I have this funky black necklace I wear alot. I like weird ecclectic jewelry.
What color is your bedspread? It is a gorgeous brocade look with deep reds, golden yellows, browns, etc. It has pretty threading and details, it kind of looks patchwork in a way with tiny yellow threaded flowers. (though it's not floral at all)
what color shirt do you have on right now? Eggplant!
socks? No thanks, only when I work out. I'm wearing heels right now, I'm at work.
Favorite candy? Hmmm, M&M's.
What is your best personality trait? My versatility, I can roll with the punches no matter what's thrown my way and have fun with it all the while!
Your worst? Can be pretty cynical sometimes, especially about human nature.
Do you play a musical instrument? Used to play the french horn!
Are you a morning person or a night owl? Both when the time is right, lately I've been an insomniac though! During the semesters it's the opposite, I am up at 4-something and headed to starbucks, lol.
What is one thing you spoil yourself with? Honestly, high-priced waxing and wine. Lol.
What would you do if you saw a unicorn? Never tell anybody! I wouldn't want to lose the magic!
Are you easily offended? Not at all when it comes to personal characteristics, but I am offended by racism and racist jokes easily, although some don't think I should be since I am not a member of a minority group, but I think it is any decent human being's right to be offended by stupidity and hate.
What do you usually drink with dinner? Sometimes wine, most the time just water.
Are you ears pierced? Anything else pierced? Nothing pierced at all, no tattoos either. It's cool but not my style, I'm a natural kinda gal. (as I say with my dyed hair )
Do you usually drive:

a. under the speed limit(by how much)
b. the speed limit(why?)
c. over the speed limit(by how much)--this one. Prob by about 10 miles or so.

Favorite fruit? Toss up between blackberries, pomegranite, honeydew melon, or black plums. Kind of broad range huh?
Favorite vegetable? Ooh, lots as well, lol. I'll go with cucumbers though.
What's one thing you have always wanted to do, but never have? Learned salsa. I really want to, and one day I will, I am going to learn ballroom dance as well hopefully!

Wow, great Q's guys!!!! Thanks, I need a rest, lol!

Okie doke Ryan, I'll pick some one on Sunday!

As for your new barrage of questions...
1. Oh, psychology has made me a people watcher to be sure! I can better judge when people are lying. Instead of just seeing someone's actions, I tend to see their motives, reasoning, and emotions behind the actions, lol. That can be a pain. I guess for me, it has just made me a bit more intuitive. I always want to know what people are thinking!

2. When I first begin I will be working in the emergency room dealing with rape and abuse patients under the age of 14. Enough said, right? Dealing with children who have/are suffering so much will be a heartbreaker. Then later on I will work with children in a pediatric hospital...then I think the death and dying preparation will be the hardest thing to deal with.

3. That darn cat doesn't shut up, what are you talking about! Lol. No, he talks the most when I first get home, it is quite obvious that he is griping me at and giving me a talking-to after being gone for so long and leaving him home alone. But he is very responsive all the time, whenever I talk to him he talks back.

4. Umm, I dunno weirdo, lol....I'll go with the giraffe. (but the hedgehog's a close second!)

5. Um, the new movies I've seen really didn't impress me much (XMen III and The Omen). But I watched Dead Poet's Society for the first time recently and I really liked it!

6. Ooh, now this completely hinges on whether or not I have more of whatever the food is. If I have a whole plate/bowl full, I will just toss the fallen piece in the garbage...if it's the only piece and my floors clean, darnit, I'm picking it up!

Alrighty Aphrodite, thanks for your questions today! They were fun!

Nice rhyme and excellent answers.

1. Did you know that Stevie is just an anagram for "eet svi?"

2. Has your education in psychology ever reflected difficulties you had in your own life?

3. What have you learned about psychology that helps make you own life better?

4. If Connor had a human job, what would it be?

5. Did you ever get in a fight at school?

6. Do you ever turn off your educated awareness of how people behave when they're around you, or is it always on? 6½. Do you wish you could turn it off sometimes?

Ooh, good question!
If Conner were in my body, he'd play outside all day long with out a leash, lol. With opposable thumbs he'd be able to better get into all kinds of trouble! He'd probably order pizza with all kinds of wacky things on it, rearrange the apartment to suit all of his cat needs rather than mine, and he'd cut a big whole in the bathroom door so that when I go in there he could easily follow instead of just meowing like he's got mad cow disease and throwing a tantrum outside the door. Lol.

If I were in his body, I would let myself not have a negative body image for one day! Lol, I would rejoice in being chubby, roll around selfishly in the sun spots and be petted, rubbed, and catered to all day!
Sounds like a plan!!!
