You Know You're a Chaote When...

1. You don't think it's a proper symbol unless you only just made it up a few seconds ago while doodling.
2. Someone asks you if you believe life has a purpose, or whether it is meaningless, and you say "yes."
3. You always carry around lots of post-it notes and a pen in case you need to cast a sigil.
4. People ask you how magic works, and you either
A) don't know and don't care
B) explain in torturous detail, later causing them to seek therapy.
5. Someone asks you if you believe in the Christian God, and you say:
A) "Only if there's something in it for me"
B) "What day of the week is it?"
C) "Sorry, I rolled a 6 on the dice earlier, I'm a Wiccan today"
D) "Okay, haven't got any other plans for today"
6. Missionaries find it easy to convert you to their religion, the only trouble is making sure you don't convert to another religion as soon as you're bored.
7. Other magick workers compare rituals with you. You think they're too serious and stuffy, and they refuse to live in the same neighbourhood as you. You don't see anything wrong with making up your own god, until it starts telling you what to do.
8. While in trance, a being glowing with pure white light tells you the secrets to true happiness. You smile and ignore it/laugh at it.
9. People point out your beliefs are contradictory. You blush.
10. Your bookcase contains various holy texts that claim all the other texts are wrong.
11. You don't learn Latin in order to understand tomes of magic, you learn Quantum Physics.
12. You still don't understand the tomes after learning Quantum Physics, but at least you know lots of big words now.
13. Your rituals involve the first objects you can spot lying around.
14. You aspire to schizophrenia. Your friends think you've already reached that state.
15. Your banishment rituals are usually more fun than the rituals themselves. You keep a copy of a "certain revisionist" book for whenever you need to banish with laughter.
16. Even eclectic witches think you need to be more discerning.
17. You buy one of those glittery spell books to see if you can make the spells work. You read it and decide you would much rather write insulting letters to the author that will also give her the nasty cold you've been trying to get rid of for weeks.
18. When Wiccans tell you the rede, you ask them to define "harm."
19. If someone you agree with turns out to be obnoxious, you immediately change your beliefs to the opposite of what they were.

And finally.
20. Shopping for presents becomes so much easier, as you decide to buy random things, mix them up randomly, and leave them lying around for the first person who finds them.
 
Hey wrongplanet. I was member there years ago when I was convinced I had aspergers, but then got bored of it (aspergers, not the website).

I didn't send insulting letters, but I did go online and learn how to incinerate a man from two wiccans. I roleplayed Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
 
6, 9, kinda 12, 14 and 19. And I don't like asparagus.

:m096:




Wait. this isn't Anarchyland ?

Hah yeah. Aspergers/autism is some times my disorder of the week.

I have a lot of bunny eared savant tendencies and people tell me so. I flop between not caring and thinking that it just makes me more awesome.

I read about disorders like ADHD or Depersonalization Disorder and then convince myself I have it. I then either meet someone with it or watch a documentary about it and feel stupid.

This is what I got when I looked up bunny eared savant.

Cloudcuckoolander
"My mind is a puzzle to many."
— Raocow
A character with their head in the clouds. They are strangely oblivious to things that everyone else takes for granted. They may have an argument with themselves for fun, make points in an argument with no basis in logic or reality, or tell rambling stories that have nothing to do with the point they're trying to make. They make totally unintentional double entendres, and are great for Getting Crap Past the Radar. Sometimes also called "Space Case" or "Space Cadet", or plain old "Strange".

Cloudcuckoolanders are very rarely malicious. They are far more likely to be Plucky Comic Relief. Maybe he's one of Those Two Guys or the crazy member of the Comic Trio. They lapse into non sequitur a lot and while they aren't totally insane, they act it much more than some other crazier characters.

One mark of a Cloudcuckoolander is when, 90% of the time, you think the character is just plain nuts, but 10% of the time, you suspect that the character is in fact the Only Sane Man on the show. In other words, a Cloudcuckoolander has massive knowledge and understanding of the workings of the universe, but a poor way of communicating that to everyone else. Unfortunately when they are Genre Savvy, nobody else is, and when they are not, everybody else is. In any event, they can be oddly endearing, if not downright Crazy Awesome.

Another notable mark is that often there is nothing actually wrong with what they do, but it is most assuredly not something a normal person would do. A Cloudcuckoolander sees no problem with using a communal shower as their method of hygiene if they lack another method - hell, they may consider going swimming the same as taking a bath (this example wouldn't apply in cultures where communal bathing is common). Sit down with a Cloudcuckoolander and try to explain to them that normal people don't wear the clothes of a dead man. They will never understand what your problem is. It's not like the dead guy cares, is it?

When they are given a specific disorder, it is often Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!, despite the fact that a couple of lesser-known disorders actually fit better: Schizotypal personality disorder, which is essentially schizophrenia-lite characterized in part by acting really weirdnote , and thought disorder, which is when normal speech is disrupted and presumed to reflect a similar disruption in thoughts. However, there are a growing number of these characters whose strangeness is a symptom of Hollywood Autism. Oddly enough, quirkiness is a common trait in real life autistics.

Frequently clips entire stacks of Weirdness Coupons from the paper. Certainly, many of them get away with a good deal no one else would be allowed. And has a weakness for falling into a Wiki Walk.

Why? Do you hate me? Why would you link me to tvtropes? It's getting late here and I wanted to go to bed. Now I'll spend hours- hm. what's the nominal hero?

Haha yeah I know. I do that too.

But tvtropes really holds the secrets of life you know. It is a mystical tome of vast knowledge.
 
did somebody say anarchyland?

laughter is a potent banishing method
