I'm a classically and self-taught artist who enjoys having worked in collectible cards and role-playing games. I'm proud of my geek status and enjoy being an avid film viewer when not creating art, reading, or enjoying serious dog snuggle time.
I love many styles of painting, currently concentrating on mixed media paintings of ink, watercolor, colored pencil and acrylic in order to achieve a rich, layered result.
LOVE rescue animals! DESPISE puppy mills!

A guy I was friends with ended up working in a car yard - it wasn’t a big brand one, just a small family owned second hand car yard - guy did ok in school, wasn’t a genius, wasn’t an idiot. I dropped in to visit him at work after he’d been working there for about 6 years and his boss called out asking if he could remember a car and added the registration number (no description or anything) and my mate rattled off the car’s details, the name of the person who traded it in, what they bought, and who bought it, by name… but phrased it as a question: “you mean the blue toyota whatever, with the such and such, that so and so came in with etc” this had all happed about six months after he’d started there.
He clearly found his place.
(For clarity - the car his boss was asking about had been traded/sold 5 and a half years earlier)
(And no, not ‘creepy’ like they’re going to put you in a pit and make you put lotion on, just a moment of realising someone you’d known your whole childhood suddenly pulls a rainman out of nowhere)
(Yes, he’s most likely on the spectrum - it’s probably why we were friends in the first place).

Grew up in a house with a female cat that had been around since my siblings and I were little. She would use combinations of trills and meows to make cat approximations of our names that were close enough that we knew when she was calling a specific sibling.
If we didn't respond or start coming downstairs when my mother would call us from downstairs the cat would post up at the bottom of the stairs trill-meowing the person's name or come into their room and do it in their face until they followed.
Seemed perfectly normal to us but I had friends that were definitely creeped out by my cat "saying" my name.

My old cat Minos, over the course of a few days arranged “gifts for the family” among the bushes in our front yard. 3 mice were arranged in a line in the back row with all their heads facing north and 4 rats were arranged in a line in the front row with their heads facing south. One of the weirdest things I’ve ever had to clean up.

I did a little time. I ran into a guy in there that engineered a fight between three unrelated parties. That part wasn't the creepy part (though, good enough, really - two of the three fighting parties were *not* fighting people and he got 'em in the mix effortlessly). The creepy part was that in the roughly one minute before the fight kicked off (resulting in the block being locked down for three days, btw) he explained to me point by point and in close detail what the administrational response would be, exactly who would be involved, who would be written up, injured, reassigned to different blocks, etc. He did this so that a fourth party, not involved in the violence, would be caught up in cell searches with contraband, which happened. A tattoo kit. That guy left the block with the three fighters but never came back.
He told me all of this stuff point by point like a grocery list. Down to which guards would come and what their moods and reactions would be. He was in the cell next to mine and he just kept laying it out right until they locked us in.

Not really creepy but I noticed there must be something going on.
I was on holidays in a Turkish wakeboard park. They have some dogs there, which were strays but living there in the park now. Super friendly doggos.
One morning, we wanted to get up a hill for the sunrise. When we stepped out, two of the dogs slept in front of our house. They woke up and immediately understood what we were up to. They lead the way up the hill.
When we were up there, one of them was sitting down and staring into the sunrise with me. Nothing else. He just looked at the shiny orb in the skies. This dog was not lead by food, companionship or anything. He was just there. Probably admiring the sunrise, too. Nothing a dull animal would be able to.

My husband grew up in a bad area, bad family, high school drop out bc school was so bad for people with learning disabilities. He grew up truly believing he was stupid.
I'm a writer, and he would never read. Complained that he couldn't read. Not a lack of ability, but he apparently has that thing where you can't visualize in your head -- but no word for it 30 years ago, and I didn't even realize that was a possible thing. He just told me he can't see the story like I can, so it doesn't make any sense for him. He found it difficult and pointless.
Then, at 20 years old, he sat down and read a college chemistry textbook left at our house *in one evening* and literally taught himself chemistry. I was a "gifted" student with a full scholarship, and chemistry was where I got lost AF. I could not understand what i was seeing.
"I don't have to imagine with this book. It just explains. Easiest book I've ever seen!"
