| I like change; I think it keeps me healthy. Routines are usually evil for me. :) I like stimulation... and trying out a lot of different things to find what works for me! Yep, that fits me like a glove. Stimulation helps keep my stamina and determination up, so mixing things up every-day helps me g... |

| I hold myself to a personal saying I've made for myself, "Titles mean little". I don't mean to be rude or inconsiderate to doctors and therapists, they are good people and they are trying to help. But throughout my life I've been very cautious of them and their advice. Why? Their own prescriptions a... |

| I'm very much into ambient electronic, classical piano, and anything Japanese J-pop/Japanese lyrics. Anything that's very deep and calm or energetic to switch between my two frequent moods. Besides that, there's absolutely nothing else I listen to. I believe my own obsessive compulsiveness is respon... |

| It can take me around six months to finally accept someone as a real friend to me and not someone who just goes to me to talk if they're bored or I'm the last person available. Of course, I have been betrayed from time to time, but I don't let those moments pull me down. As the famous saying goes, "... |

| I actually like using IM better than the phone. I get nervous on the phone especially since I don't talk very much and I tend to be quiet when I do talk. For me IM is a much less stressful form of communication. But I understand how vocal inflection can be pretty important. Plus it can help rest yo... |

| Online? Super popular. In real life? Being the new person at first, yes. People would want to know me and I would get into a lot of conversations. But after that, I faded off as a regular person and eventually would stay in the background as usual. Although I personally don't always mind as I try to... |

| How much Japanese can I speak? Eto, eto... Ahno... Atashii...wish I knew more then 25 words from watching enough series. XD You'll have to forgive me for being so shy, and apologizing frequently even though nothing is wrong. It just takes me time to warm up, even among a community of me's. XD Thanks... |

| Hello, I'm Alec. I have been legally diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome since I was a late 17 year old. My main obsession is currently Anime, Manga, and Japanese culture for the past two years. So excuse me if that's what I talk about, a lot. XD (But don't worry, I have other interests I promise!) S... |
