Hi all!
I saw this forum for newbies and thought I'd say, this is a great website... so nice to hear from others whose life experience mirrors my own... Seems that's pretty hard to find!

I've never been diagnosed with Asperger's, but the moment I read about it (God I love Wikipedia...) I said, "OMG! There's a scientific /medical term that describes... ME!! !" so here I am.

Also, here's a funny little story I can share for your amusement (as an example of my naiveté?):

Here in NB, many of us are bilingual. My mother spoke French to me as a child, and one of the sayings that are common around here goes: "Tiens tes culottes" (pronounced, "Tchan tay tchulotte") - it means (litterally), "Hold your pants up". The "real" meaning is "Be patient".

Once, when I was young, just starting school, my mother said this to me when we were in the mall parking lot, as I was being impatient for something or other. She imagined I would have understood what she meant. However, when she turned around to look at me a few minutes later, she noticed that I was lagging behind. The reason? I was trying to walk with her while keeping a firm grip on my pants, frantically pulling them up. I thought this would actually get me what I wanted faster.

Needless to say, she got a good laugh. I failed to see the humor until she explained what the saying actually MEANT.

How can you NOT love it lol, i can get lost in that thing for hours, just pages and pages on any subject u want, u can go from the the news article on the front page to the strangest obscure things (infact thats how i found about this place o_0)

Cute Avatar. You wouldn't be a goth would you?

Tee hee...
Sorry, New Brunswick (CA)...

Goth... punk... err... (EDIT) Big fan of Manga / Anime and all things dark and spooky?

Bazza just got interested because you live in Drunkton. He's at travelocity right now buying a ticket to go look for a house, but none of the airlines will let him take his kangaroo.

By the way, welcome.

CA = California?

(only joking - I have a friend from Edmonton)

CanyonWind - tell your mate to fly QANTAS - they put the kangaroos in the tail.

What about vampires? Or genetically engineered super-SOLDIERs?

Hi and welcome to WP

Anyone who can write English is automatically assumed to be American. You can't tell by the grammar and spelling these days--it's all poor, no matter where you are.

So...welcome to WP and enjoy yourself!
