New to to Wrong Planet

Post Reply New Topic

Hey everyone. My name is Tom and I live in Massachusetts. I'm 26 years old. I created a Wrong Planet account a couple years ago, but never really used it. I have decided to start using it again, so I can meet other people who have Aspergers like I do. Just to tell you a bit about myself, I am a crazy sports fan, so if baseball is your thing, we'll be automatic friends! I'm also a devout Catholic and am very involved at my church. I'm also a a big country music fan too. I would definitely like to get to know all of you out there, so please don't be shy introduce yourself to me I'm always open for discussion.

Hello! I'm also a devout Catholic and love to talk about the faith. I've been recently learning about Mother Teresa- wow, just amazing all the wonderful stories I've been reading! I'm especially fond of Catholic related books, so any you've enjoyed, I'd love to know about. Anyway, nice to meet you!

I sure have. One of the best books is Catholicism by Robert Barron. He also has a DVD series you would like. Great to meet you too

I love baseball as well and am a devoted Protestant, but also do enjoy learning about the history of the Church including Catholicism. That is one interesting thing about Aspies, when we get interested in something, it seems like we dive into it full speed ahead.

This is true. What is your favorite baseball team?

It is the Detroit Tigers. I started liking them long before they got good. Started following them in th mid 70s, not even sure why, since I grew up in Iowa. I have turned my daughter into a Tiger's fan as well, though. The last 2 years we have gone to Arlington, TX (3 hours from here) to seem them play the Rangers, but didnt work out this year. Did go to Fenway Park once, back in 2002. That was cool Also been to games in St. Louis (both old and new Busch Stadium-and saw The Who there), Wrigley Field, Colorado, Toronto, Kansas City, White Sox (both old and new stadium).

Welcome to Wrong Planet from a fellow Catholic!

Oooh, I just put it on my wish list! It looks awesome! Thanks!

No problem! Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any suggestions

Cool ProfessorJohn. My team is the Red Sox (pretty natural, being from Massachusetts..lol). AnonymousAnonymous, great to meet you. Thanks!

I too have been involved in my church for about 4 years now as an usher. Even though it's a great gig, I try to avoid talking to other parishioners as much as I can, even though the leader of the ushers encourages me to interact with other parishioners, much to the annoyance of my family.
