Well well, look at all these adamantly sought-after autistics here! Wish I had your problem, guys. With my social life, if anything, I'd have to make up excuses for accepting the invitation, if I was extended one.

Bah! Bang goes my hope of turning my wordplay skills into a cash cow. I should have googled the American spelling of "center" as well as the English one.
