(that was an admittedly bad attempt at humor)

So a lot about myself (I have nothing but time, and don't care how useless it is)

I was diagnosed with Asperger's back in 1999
I apparently appear normal if quiet, to people when out in public
I've been on online forums since 2002ish
I'm a perpetual insomniac
I'm also a night-owl
I live in Rialto, California
I'm going to college In Rancho Cucamonga
I'm majoring in Political Science
I'm the stereotypical Liberal (IE I worship FDR like some conservatives worship Reagan), and know full well that I'm in the minority amongst my peers
I've forgotten the semi-humorous line about what a liberal is, and am too tired to look it up
I think Shwarzy needs to stop toeing the party line and get the Cailfornia budget in order
Going by my license plates, I was never meant to be a christian (both cars I've had have had three sixes in the license plates)
I drive a Scion tC
I tend to lurk on forums
I see an opposum in my backyard

My interests include:

House MD
Burn Notice
Politics (aside from the tiring issue of gun control)
autistic culture
cars
Top Gear (the show)
Mythbusters
Destruction of stuff (as long as I'm far, far away)
Chatbots (assuming thet' I'm the one making them)
Browser gaming
Sins of a Solar Empire
Cats
Finding a nearby hi-speed connection that doesn't involve relying on my laptop's battery

And I expected this to be a lot longer

Well, you be welcome, Acebrock! (That was an attempt at a humorous reply. :))

It sounds like you'll share lots of common interests with people here on WP.

Best wishes, Jenny

Hi, welcome here. :) It's funny to see how you Americans consider FDR liberal. If I had to choose, FDR would be my fav U.S. president, too (I'm more left-wing than he was), but I'm considered socialist (despite the fact that I have no admiration whatsoever for either Lenin or Mao). Liberal here is wha tyou guys call conservative, LOL.

Hey, we also happen to have started following forums at the same time, although at the time I had not yet been diagnosed for five years.

Well, hello. Someday in the future I may be bugging you to send a phonebook yellow pages to an autistic friend of mine who collects them and who bugs me if I am not as passionate as he is about his hobby.

Hi Acebrock, welcome to WP.

Don't know any lines about liberals but there's this:

"Republicans are the party that believe that government doesn't work, then gain power and prove it."

And I got myself distracted with my chatbot again. Now I should be here daily. And thank you for the warm welcomes
