Questions for... well, everyone, I guess:

1) How big is the gap between Asperger's Syndrome and high-functioning autism? (From what I understand the two overlap a lot. Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

2) What is the Baptist Church's official stance re:stigmata? (Any info about the Baptist Church would be useful, actually- I know very little about it.)

3) What does it feel like to have a nosebleed? (I've never had one.)

4) How do you know when "coffee" is not just coffee but coffee? (Because I just made plans to go for coffee with a friend, but I think said friend may be under the impression that these plans are for coffee instead of coffee. And, um, that could be problematic!)

5) How much does Thomas Hobbes suck? (Like, a lot, right?)

This list brought to you by the Gerald Doesn't Wanna Finish Hir Philosophy Paper Wildlife Fund.

ETA: From the essay I am currently writing on Hobbes' theory of the state of nature:

"Hobbes would have us believe that people tend not to murder their children because of the power of law and the state, but this is nonsense: anyone who has ever been in the same room with a fussy baby for more than ten minutes is sure to wonder why its parents do not simply drop it into the nearest lake and tell the authorities that dingoes ate it."

I don't even care if I am grossly misrepresenting Hobbes here,* I am not cutting that sentence.

* I am, but only because I don't like him.

3. I never thought of it dripping back down the throat. That's, um, kind of gross.

4. *nod* Good point. I shall try to keep the intense hour-long heart-to-hearts to a minimum.

It is intensely yuck. *g* This isn't even getting how careful you have to be once you've got it to stop bleeding, since every little bump or sniffle could start it going again. I envy you having managed to avoid 'em!

And whatever you do, if you've agreed to COFFEE, don't let them bait-and-switch it for dinner at a nice restaurant at the last minute either. Learn from my past ditz-moves! ;-D

Really? Wow. Did something trigger them, or did your nose just go all Old Faithful on you?

... I believe I have pulled that move before. *shame*

I think was just a hormonal thing, since they all but stopped after high school, unless I get bashed in the face. Which I do try to avoid. But, yup, completely random!

X-D Man, if we fall for it, we deserve whatever we get. I tend to be painfully slow when it comes to the mysterious subtleties of coffee versus coffee.
