As I suspected

Took this Aspergers Test and scored (31) just below the range considered to be Aspergers . Some of the questions are variable for me -- like sometimes I would prefer to be in a library to at a party, but other times I am a party animal.

Of course, my party behavior has never been stellar. I will generally find one or two people who I want to hang with, and spend all night with them. I also prefer a party where there are activities to one where people are just talking. One of the reasons I have played so many drinking games in my youth.

new toys

I have a serious toy addiction. And ebay is a terrible enabler. Not to mention Newbury Comics - I can not go into that store without purchasing some silly thing that I really don't need... but really NEED (like the "Doctor Who in your Pocket" I just bought).

My obsessive tendencies don't help -- I currently own 17 Sunshine Buddies, and have about 10 Ultraman toys, in different forms... all living on my desk at work. I am so enthralled by all of the new Japanese-designed figures (like Domo-Kun) and similar bizarre designs (like Ugly dolls).

I figured out a long time ago that I need visual stimulation in my work area to keep me focused. If you stick me in a clean room, my mind will escape. Some type of reverse-ADD perhaps.
