Welcome to Wrong Planet and I totally understand. I've hated jeans my whole life. I just wear sweatpants. You ever tried sweatpants before? They're really comfortable.
Lol, I've been on WP for nine months, but thanks for the welcome, I guess.
I used to wear yoga pants years ago, if that counts. I don't think they're within my school's dress code. And I get hot easily.
You're welcome.
I'm pretty sure yoga pants do count. I've always considered them to be sweatpants exclusively for girls.

oh, i remember my sweatpants phase 
i'd get them caught in the gears of my bike cause they were so loose and the lower parts would be torn to shreds.
had to roll them up or tighten them with a scrunchie.

Welcome to Wrong Planet.
I can already see from your answers that we have similar interests. Creative writing, music, Once Upon A Time, and Disney movies among other things.

What is your first name?
Matt, though 70% of the people in my life know me by my nickname of "Skibz", which I better identify with. And no, there's no real interesting story behind that.
Age:
26, born April 1, 1988. Same day as 'Beetlejuice' was released to theaters! ...relevant...?
Location:
Orange County, California. Where the sun lives.
Hobbies and Interests:
Music. Performing, writing, studying and listening to, far beyond a normal scope into pretty much being a borderline amateur musicologist.
Film. Watching, studying, working on, writing...my obsessions and expertise lie primarily with low-budget cult and exploitation films. I may have never seen 'Citizen Kane', but I've seen 'Bloodsucking Freaks' multiple times and that's far more culturally relevant.
I have a few other things here and there - baking, bowling, buying awful thrift store clothing - but those are the main two.
Why are you here?
I want to expand my AS network. I don't personally know anybody who has autism and I've alienated enough relationships with "normal" people.
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder):
High school. Maybe junior year?
Favorite subjects:
What? In school? I guess I liked...I dunno, English? At least there my overly long and rambly essays were tolerated.
Year/Grade:
What? What's going on? I don't understand.
Favorite music:
Jeez...if I had to narrow it down, my interests lie most heavily in progressive rock (all eras), ska (namely UK/EU, 1979-1992), punk (up until the '80s and largely the more experimental groups), post-punk, early New Wave and zydeco and New Orleans music. I play and work with a lot of punk and metal bands, and have been working on the prospect of starting bands paying tribute to pre-Beatlemania rock and roll and Spike Jones-era novelty songs.
Books:
It's hard for me to read an entire book. Even books I'm really into could take several months to finish. That's why I usually list H.P. Lovecraft as my favorite author, if not for the quality of his stories, simply for their brevity.
TV shows/Movies:
I'm not too big on TV...usually I just keep it on true crime shows as background noise. Movies...well. My youth, adolescence and adulthood was/is fueled entirely by low-budget B-movies, which sparked when I discovered movies like 'The Toxic Avenger' and 'Evil Dead' as a youth. I've studied the greats of films - from Kubrick to Kurasawa, Fellini to Godard - and yet I've still never seen a film as flawless as 'The Return of the Living Dead'.
Instrument:
Guitar and bass guitar, primarily. Ukulele and keyboards, secondly. Trombone and accordion on a lower tier.
Do you like sports?
I like bowling. Does Dungeons & Dragons count as a sport?
Family:
Yes, I have one.
Clothing:
Although I have my fair share of "normal" jeans and t-shirts, a good chunk of my wardrobe looks like Weird Al and The B-52s exploded inside a carnival. I adore loud, garish clothing and have a vast assortment of Hawaiian shirts, golf pants, plaid jackets, cheesy retro wear from the '50s-'70s, vintage novelty shirts ("Where's the Beef?"), etc., etc.. I don't get invited to parties all that often.
How did you find this website?
The Google.
Job:
I work part-time at a Barnes & Noble, which is an incredibly stress-free job and compliments my AS very well (alphabetizing! So much alphabetizing! ). I occasionally make a few bucks here and there by helping work on low-budget film productions.
Plans for the future?
Hopefully parlaying my interest in film and music into a sustainable career.
Any comments?
I'm not wearing any pants.
