Hello everyone.

I like using forums, but am sick of the silly behaviour of the folks in the last forum I used (one threatened to report another, allegedly a doctor, to the police over some forum insults), so I thought I'd try a forum in which I might at least have something in common with others.

I'm 32, I was in the navy, now I'm studying at university. I don't eat organs. I can make sushi rols, but I don't include the raw fish; I just have vegetables and other things instead. I like to read, and I enjoy writing stories. I plan to move to somewhere far away from everyone, and try to write books there. The south pole would be ok, if not for the climate.

Oh, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome by the shrinkologists at Deakin University in Victoria just a few years ago. While not surprising, it did explain a few things.

Nope, it was the Myspace.com politics forum. People were finding information about each other, sending emails to each others' bosses and colleagues, stuff like that. Really stupid.

Hi Welcome here!

I am a new member here myself.

The country I live in is too busy for you, I suppose...

People can behave on Internet Forums in such a stupid way, I agree with you

How are things across the ditch? What are you studying, if you don't mind me asking?
LOL stay away from political forums, and ones to do with opinion. We have some of those here and they get nasty :wink:
