amusing slice of time before I realized I had the AS

Post Reply New Topic

This is before I gave up on Myspace altogether after realizing it was going to be "too difficult" for me...
Me to cool chick on my list I'd only spoken to once or twice: "Have you ever experienced a "hyper-trophied sense of meaning"? That's not my way of hitting on you by the way..."
No response from cool chick...
Next day there is a comment from one of her cool-chick friends on her page along the lines of "because you know the ladies are just dying to find someone who speaks like a Vulcan"

I just have to laugh at myself though I was pretty humiliated at the time. I don't know why I say the things I do. But it can be pretty funny. I'm guessing it is AS that is allowing me to even consider that this would be worth sharing here, now. It never ends...

What can one say?


Live long and prosper.

Hmmm. Now, as an Aspie, it's obvious that I'm not and never have been what is usually considered a "cool chick," but at least I'm a chick. I would have responded to your post, if only because it's not shallow and ordinary and shows you have a functioning mind. Also to ask what the heck the question means.

It's one way of finding the Aspie chicks, I guess. But maybe that's not what you want.

I've gone through life kicking myself for some of the things I say, but what the heck. Some people find it amusing, in a positive way. And after all, we have to put up with the boring, meaningless, self-centered, vapid, space-filling talk that supposedly "normal" people produce, so it's only fair to get our revenge, eh?

Enjoy.

Don't feel bad!

A lot on Myspace is basically a popularity contest anyway. Ever see all the people with the 500+ friends and the tons of messages that simply say "have a nice day!" and "xoxoxoxoxo" and other junk? Not actually providing information of real significance? Simply garbage!

Enjoy.
I guess I have to. There must be some level of enjoyment somewhere b/c otherwise I guess I wouldn't end up saying the things I do. I once had the conceit of referring to myself as "the eminently quotable", though of course it ain't true.

AS to what the question meant....LOOOOOONG story...

I have similar issues with MySpace. My original goal of "adding people I know and like IRL" has become something more like "adding people I know and like IRL, that I can stand on the Internet, and can spell with some decency."

After so many "Thanks for adding me!" blinkies and other crap, enough is enough.

Awww, to heck with MySpace, and all the imitators ! !! Yer on the best forum in all of the Internet ! !! Chat here, then go out and talk to girls in the 'real' world.

DUDE ! !! !

If I knew what love felt like, I'm pretty sure I'd feel it towards aspies. You guys are the best group of people I've ever encountered in my entire life.

And I fell out of my chair laughing after that last one. Because it's so true.

Hey, I'm NT (and a possibly cool-ish chick...) and I would have responded to that! I don't know what it means but it's a heck of a lot more interesting than anything most NT men have to say, and it's definitely a conversation-starter.

But Hey, I'm already with an Aspie... there must be more of us out there though? I can't imagine being with an NT man without being mindlessly bored...
