Hi, I'm new. :)

I'm Jon, 19 years old and I was diagnosed with Asperger's last summer, though I knew about it for about a year before that. I live in Wales (England's nose) and I'm a student. I'm studying English Language & Literature and Psychology, and I'm teaching myself Latin because it's essentially useless and I like wasting my time doing useless things.

My geeky interests include languages and linguistics and natural history, meaning I like to learn obscure languages that nobody speaks anymore and go poking around loose tree bark just to find insects that fly in your eye or bite. I also like walking and cycling and I'm an Arsenal fan.

So, that's me in two paragraphs. I'm looking forward to meeting people here, but is the opposite also true? :wink:

Nice to meet you, Jon. :) 8)

I'm thinking about learning Korean because of Kumdo.

Like your avatar, I too am a fan of M.C. Escher and of Penrose Tri-bars

Welcome to the site (from someone in England's belly button).

I guess I am at the other end of the football spectrum from you - my team is Rochdale (too be fair it suits me, and is like a small community in itself. Plus you don't expect them to win anything...

I'm afraid I don't like you now. :o Only kidding; I'm glad Tottenham got a draw against Chelski tonight. Should stop them from sneaking into second place. I hope.

You never know. Rochdale are only one point from the play-offs with games in hand. Could be your lucky season. :wink:

LOL i do the same thing. :lol: Except there's not many interesting insects that I haven't seen here before. I am afraid of one bug/insect which is a moth.

Anyway...Hi and welcome, Hodor.

I hope you enjoy posting here.

P.S = I've seen someone here with the same avatar as you. :)
