* GoshDangItToHeck: I do the hillbilly swears such as "durn it" and "gash dang it". I'm half-redneck on my mother's side, after all.

* {{Main/Hypocrite}}: I once argued ''in a Forum Games post'' that lying was wrong. Lied about fifteen minutes later (social anxiety about that too-absolutely-phrased post had given me a very melodramatic facial expression, my brother asked if I was okay, so I said yes because I was ''physically'' okay when he was probably asking about my face). And other times, of course; it's not habit but still too much to consistently argue that lying inherently disrespects people or whatever ...



** Welp, as of this month my doctor is saying I might have Asperger's Syndrome.



* {{Adorkable}}: This is an uneasy pleasure, though. Like, is it all right to like someone ''for'' (rather than in spite of) a fault without which they'd have an easier time at things? Am I some kind of sadist? It ''was'' a bit comforting to know it happens to other people often enough for a word to be made, but the doubt still stands.



---> The Nightjar is also [[HaveAGayOldTime called the]] Goatsucker, but it does not suck goats, although [[OurVampiresAreDifferent various superstitions to that effect are current in most European countries]]. Notwithstanding its owlish face, the bird is not related to the owls; but it frequents bracken, and hence another name, "Fern Owl," is more appropriate. The title "Nightjar" fits the bird excellently, for its habits are rather nocturnal, its flight is noiseless, and its cry is a long-drawn jarring or churring sound, not unlike that produced by drawing a hard substance across a large-toothed comb.

* FreudianTrio: From about age 8-14 I was near-fatally [[TheSpock Spock]]. Turns out I wasn't one of those people who come by it naturally (in this case it came from depression and OCD). Now I'm almost too [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] to function (but at least now it's certain that suicide isn't going to happen). Kirk never happened here.

* {{Main/Bookworm}}: Language is my main and perhaps only area of intelligence. Didn't read till I was seven, but my [[TheBoxcarChildren first book]] was 122 pages long (don't ask how that worked). By age eleven I apparently wrote better than many college students.

* HomeschooledKids: Because of [[RaisedCatholic religion]] ([[StopBeingStereotypical yup]]), autistic siblings' sensory issues, both my parents having had near-constant horrible experiences at school, and their belief that school as it's been since the early twentieth century was designed to prepare children for factory work and that it may be obsolete what with modern machines and was never humane in the first place. I'll have to research and check that last one ...
* NoSocialSkills: I've had the guts to wonder why I wasn't diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum when I share so many habits with my brother, other brother, and sister who are all autistic. But self-diagnosis is error-prone and anyway despicable, so let's just say I've got this trope.
