I guess I'm pretty much the opposite of that, then. I understand what people say and do perfectly. It's when I try to figure out exactly WHY people do things that I feel like an alien. There are so many things that humans do, and of course they make sense because "That's the way we've ALWAYS done it". But then when I think about these things, they all just seem so ... ridiculous.
Why do we only have "breakfast foods" at breakfast-time? My tummy isn't READY for eggs, sausage, bacon, and hash browns that early! Why can't we serve those foods at night-time?
Why do we still keep daylight savings time?
Don't even get me started on love and sex.
I guess these things are why I feel alien sometimes. You're right, it's not quite the same as you. And I guess I just feel "different". But I seperate it in my mind from just being "weird". I feel "apart" sometimes.

[shrugs] Does that make any sense?
