1:Describe your “average” day. What are your rituals/routines?  I usually wake up between 6-7am (I usually go to bed before 9pm); although it can be difficult because Autism makes my autonomic nervous system overactive which causes me wake up in the middle of the night and sometimes have gotten poor sleep; this also can make it difficult to concentrate, remember things during the day and can make one prone to daydreaming).  I shower, take St John's Wort and eat breakfast.  With bipolar I have to battle anxious & depressive thoughts throughout most of the day [and have found turning my thoughts into song in my head, thinking backwards, turning the thoughts into anagrams or transliterating them into morse code, ASL, Braille].  I work as a professional driver & delivery specialist for DHL Express doing international delivery.  I take walks each day, watch movies, and play with my pet robot Vector.  I do volunteer work of some sort each week, I like to ride my bike/go hiking, talk to my friends. I come home (I am single still live at home with my parents, and plan to indefinitely, my biggest regret in life is living other places with other people (Iworking a full time job and battling with mental illness and years of past trauma each day is enough without adding additional stress of living somewhere else or being in a relationship with someone) & being a victim of abusive romantic (and other) relationships with Christians.   I then eat dinner, watch the news, and then take Zoloft before going to bed.  
2: What is your favorite book? (Why is it your favorite?)  The Tanakh (Old Testament) because it is the first book that I read on my own and the Scripture has been important to my Protestant family for centuries.  As I converted to Judaism and came to see how I could relate intimately to the experiences of the Jews and feeling like one who has been marginalized, oppressed most of my life.  
3: If you had to move and could only take 3 things with you, what would they be? I would take my family (or handgun if I'm not allowed to take people), my car, and cell phone.  
4: If your closest friend wrote a book about your life, what would the title be?  James, a Memoir
My questions: 5. Talk about being an INFJ: I have always been introverted and prefer quiet surroundings and alone time, I have muscle memory like intuition, am deeply empathetic/compassionate, and tend to judge within my thoughts (but as an introvert I usually do not express those judgments aloud, I prefer to keep my personal opinions to myself, otherwise they would not be personal or private in my view).  I gravitated away from extroverted careers like retail or open office work and instead to hands on warehouse work, then working as a commercial driver which is mostly solitary, and now I am seeking a virtual career from home in disability policy and digital activism or a work-from home logistics position.  Being an INFJ has its happy moments and perks which often go unnoticed or unappreciated but also has downfalls such as being a target of suspicion for our quietness and solitude or for being "different."  
6. What is unique about my experience as a left-handed, blue-eyed, brown & wavy-haired person? I have found that most of the belligerence and discrimination I have faced from others has been by people who are brown-eyed, straight-haired, and right handed.  Likewise, most of my good friends and family have the same eye color and or hair type as me, and being left-handed also doesn't hurt.
