Oh, Garcia would so paint the room with Abby. And McGee wouldn't even know what to do with her.
Of all of the geeks I can think of right now, Garcia's the only one I can see giving Alec a run for his money, and I still think he wins.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who is Garcia again? Or Alec?
(I don't watch their shows, apparently.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh msbelle. Strength to you.
Hardison, for sure.
I have some auditory processing issues that are somehow connected to my ADD, and I'm far better off if I have something more than just sound to go on, whether it's facial expressions, written text, or some kind of visuals. So phones and audiobooks suck big rocks, and putting on your glasses to talk to someone makes total sense to me.
OMG, thanks so much for this. When I ask someone to move the flowers or drop their hand, or turn to face me "So I can see what you're saying," I usually get, "Do you read lips?" The answer is "sorta." Because without a soundtrack I actually can't read lips. I've always thought my problem was just a personal failing of some sort, and have never brought it up with the docs. Lately I'd begun to think that maybe it's similar to--or another facet of--the input-screening problem that is how my ADD manifests. But your comment just clicked that idea into clarity, so thank you, really. Huh.

Lisa, I'm now assuming your friend is awesome (which would not surprise me at all).
YES! She is. And she really does kind of look like Garcia. They sport very similar styles anyway.

Not sure about Garcia (Criminal Minds, maybe) but I'm pretty sure by Alec they mean Hardison.

ION, having a project manager with ADD who's a chronic babbler is really starting to wear me down. I want to slip him some ritalin or something.
Nice enough guy, I guess, but SHUT AND FOCUS YOU TWIT!!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Penelope Garcia = Criminal Minds. Alec Hardison = Leverage.
And I don't think I have any sort of ADD/ADHD issues, but I definitely have a harder time talking to people when I can't see them. This is part of why I rarely want to chat while I'm getting my hair cut.

Don't you look into the mirror to make eye contact with the stylist?
