really motivated for this though, so may manage to surprise myself.


Well you've certainly surprised me , your like the energizer bunny, go go go what trigged all this (sudden) wanting to be social? (If I recall you said life for an aspie really begins at 40 (I think you where in recluse up to that point?)

You certainly seem like a generous person offering to buy lunch etc for the people here , is it really necessary ? would an aspie even accept your generosity? no offense I wont, I'm not a sponger!

Melbi asks:


What does it mean by "little browse"?

A quick look around/ look see. He wont be their for very long.

Hi aussieblock,

I am not quite sure what you're saying here. syzygyish has bipolar and he is at his high point at the moment, so being "high" and wanting to socialise is one of the consequences.

Every Aspie is different. For me, I enjoy my own time, but I also want to socialise with people. I wasn't able socialise in the NT world, so I put most of my social energy in the Aspie world. I love to be alone, but I also want friends. I've always love to attend any Aspie events.

Offering lunch is just a way of showing friendliness. Inappropriate social action is one of Aspie's biggest problems, isn't it? But I wouldn't say offering lunch is inappropriate. It is just like Melbi offered to drive everyone up to Southbank and down to Palm Beach. I actually accepted syzygyish's Subway offer. Accepting someone else's offer means connecting the friendship. A sponger is someone who stick to others and scab for freebies. One who accepts someone else's offer is definately not a sponger.

PS. syzygyish ended up sleeping in for 2 hours ...motivation?! !!

Thanks for clearing the matter up had no idea he was bi poloar , I knew he was OCD so I thought (perhaps) being social/wanting to meet new people had become one of his AS obsessions!

I was quite manic before being (correctly ) medicated , it wasn't all bad better than any street drug, until I had the come downs....

Hey! Have you ever heard the expression "Any Landing you walk away from is a good one" !

We all got there alive, and no matter how annoyed Quatermass was that we we're late,
I am still proud that I got us all there in a user friendly state.

The whole day was a long hard slog,
from the moment I got up to the moment I completely failed and let you take James and mattD home alone .

I shouldn't have done that!
Even though I know James and MattD are completely harmless and wonderful Aspies

It was up to ME to get you home safe!

I will Never let you down like that again!

You know you've nailed me?
I ach for tektek
and the list is endless

I just have a fairly literal-minded approach to appointments. I try not to be more than five or ten minutes late if I can help it. That's part of the reason why I was annoyed. Oh, and my phone doesn't have internet browser access, so going onto WP for messages via my phone is a no-no. So, as well-intentioned as melbi's message was, I didn't get it in time to mitigate my irritation.

The problem is, Queensland Museum hasn't really changed in the four months or so since I was last there, and all the really good exhibits that I loved have been removed. What happened to the Australian prehistoric wildlife section? That was a good exhibition.

Still, I came for the company, and it was interesting to meet you in real life.

I found a Brisbane Doctor Who club - http://brisbanedoctorwhofanclub.com/

They have little meet-ups to watch episodes of Doctor Who. Haven't been to any yet.

I also found a Brisbane Sci-Fi and Fantasy Group that has meet-ups from Facebook. If you're on facebook, just type Brisbane Sci-Fi and Fantasy in the search box.


'Twas a good little meet-up on Saturday. Have to catch up again sometime.

hey guys,

Melbi will be hiding in her igloo from now on till 27/6 because of exams. and will be overseas from 28/6 till 9/7

Just got a dog yesterday, for keeping me accompany and helping to cope with anxiety and depression. I got a moodle, poodle cross maltese. It's a he, and his name is Kumo (my dad named it, means clouds in japanese). Everyone is welcome to come visit us in our little igloo

Although I'll be hiding, will still be on WP everyday...coz I'm totally addicted to it...

anyway, goodnight!! !

Post a pic?

Finally he got tired and fell asleep. Can't believe he likes the teddy instead of the very expensive puppy bed I bought lol

if you're wondering, im just singing a random song I just made..just .my silly way of dealing with anxiety and depression, makes me feel happy singing random songs like this and since Quatermass is easy to pronouce...(certainly easier than syzygyish)...so has been chosen for my current anxiety relief song. Thanks Quatermass for provding a nice name for the song

just ignore it, unless you want to sing along!

His very cute you just want to pick him up and give him a kiss. I should post a pic of my birds (2 cockatiels) 1 which is a rescue , something I recommend every one should do and a budgerigar, at least, I know they like me .

edit

Squeeeeeeeeeee!! ! He's adorable!!

hi blue_bean, I love your avatar!! !! !! !! !! !! !

This is not really related, but I sometimes push people away and say "just leave me alone"...but I actually were hoping that they would stay with me....lol...

Anyway, come up to GC and you can have fun with Kumo I'm sure he'll love you coz he's a male and he loves female

I'm actually thinking about going to north NSW during the holidays, but hasn't plan anything yet. Will look more into it after exams =)
