Nice to meet you all.

Although I was never formally diagnosed, I'm pretty sure I can say that I have Asperger's Syndrome, for a few reasons: my first-grade IQ subtest scores were unbalanced that way (5 in comprehension and 18 in digit span/block design), I have always been kind of gauche, especially as a nonconformist when I was younger, and I've been pretty obsessed with a song from a video game (called One-Winged Angel) for eight years.

My current interests are philosophy and that song. I'm also into mathematics.

I think most people see me as a pessimist. I have never had a girlfriend or a date, which I attribute to the cruel process of sexual selection in nature. I can be pretty vocal sometimes about the downsides of having Asperger's Syndrome, and I hope I don't offend anyone with that.

I have abused drugs recently in the past and have been diagnosed with mild schizophrenia. I have no delusions and my only real hallucinations are little bright stars that flash and disappear.

Anyway, that's it. Look forward to having discussions with you.
