I am sure it is truthfully your opinion and you have a right to that, but my understanding is that this a group of people who want to help each other. It is also supposed to be family friendly. So truthful or not, they might not be exactly appropriate.

Wow, what a sweetheart. You sound like Patrick Bateman. You'll go far with that attitude.

He doesn't seem very nice to me.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic and should have said so.

Better to be a king in hell, than a slave in heaven.

Or is it:

Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.

In any case, consider the source, which is not exactly the Authority I would choose to cite.

First of all, thank you to everyone who left comments about my video. I very much appreciate it. I made a new rant recently, in "honor" of Valentine's Day. Here it is:

And now, to address this schmuck...

Okay, pal, listen up. First things first: You're damn right I'm a misfit. I've spent years trying to fit in with the rest of the world, with not much success. But for the first time in my life, I don't care. Being a "misfit" is an asset, not a liability. I see the world in a way that no one else does. Why would I ever give that up in exchange for being like you? (Notice I did not say "normal", because you're more than a couple decoder rings short of a Crackerjack box, so I'm sure as hell not going to call you normal.)

Secondly, who the hell do you think you are? Judging by what you wrote, I'd say you're an immature, emotionally underdeveloped teenager trolling random messageboards for kicks and giggles. You come in here insulting us Aspies, but you put asterisks in your curse words? Yeah, you're a badass. We're supposed to take you seriously, even though you can't even say the words you're using to degrade us? Give me a break. You know nothing about us, about who we are individually or what we've accomplished. But that doesn't matter to you. You're the circus act, my friend. You're the sad sack who has so little in his life that the only way you can get attention is by coming on here and flaming us. We should be feeling sorry for you, not the other way around. Take your sorry, desperate-for-attention ass out of the forums and leave us alone.

For some weird reason, Alex's posts are reminding me of Dwayne Hickman's sum-up in the old Doby Gillis show.

What is ironic about andy1979uk is that he was (most of the time) on-topic in some of the forums, while he spent most of his time hanging around the Computers forum.

I think I've seen a bit of that in rerun or clips somewhere and you're right.

I'm fortunate that I found a group of misfits to hang around with in high school. I dated one for 5 years, we broke up (mutual decision and we're all still friends) and started dating another of them and eventually married him. My husband doesn't really celebrate Valentines Day. It's kind of a non-event around here and I think it's a crock too. I mean February is so NUTS in my house ANYWAY that I've come to HATE Valentines day. Both of my kids' schools have valentines parties. Alex's school is 30 minutes from my daughter's school. I'm expected to attend. Both parties are on the same day at the same time. So I drive from my house to Alex's school a bit too early for the party and then leave about 20 minutes after that party started then show up really late for my daughter's party (her name is Rayleigh and points to anyone who can guess the origins of the name). My daughter is okay with me being late because then she gets to ride home with me instead of taking the bus. So my valentines day is INSANE to say the least. I do have some really pretty flowers my hubby bought for my birthday and still have a gift to come once we get our income tax refund!!

Then for the rest of the month. I turned 45 last thursday 2/8. My son will turn 10 next Friday and my daughter is a leap day baby so for the sake of argument she'll be 7 on 3/1 (count 365 days from last time). Actually, we let her choose if it's going to be 3/1 or 2/28. There's too much going on in February. We generally have a party for both the kids at the same time. They seem fine with that. So this week I'm having to make my kids write valentines for every kid in their classes. Nobody can be left out. I'd prefer not doing it at all!! !!

Those dating services are annoying. I'm sad, though, when I learn of aspies who really want relationships and can't find them. I am married to an aspie guy and, though it isn't always easy, what relationship IS?! If anything, I think aspies are often easier to understand once you figure out their triggers and anxieties and logic than "typical" folks. My husband is very rigid about some things. I think I NEEDED that rigidity since I grew up in a very unstable situation. I don't LIKE that he gets wigged about the house being messy, but I DO like that he prefers coming home to his family to anything else. He doesn't LIKE to go out after work. He gets sad when he doesn't spend enough time with us. He calls me from work every day just to talk and we've been married for almost 19 years. I've KNOWN him for nearly 30 YEARS!! !

That made me laugh! And you don't seem awkward. You cats are very handsome. How long have you been unable to sleep? I think the longest I've had without sleep is 12 days. Not fun. You start to see things that aren't really there when you go without sleep for that long. It makes you crazy.

And beentheredonethat---I totally agree with you. And you live in a very beautiful part of the world. I am ready for spring, myself, but I enjoy looking at cold places from the comfort of my heated home.

His name's Señor Mrow, though.

My bad. It sounded like Brown. That makes more sense now. I call my cat Hey, Zeus, which sounds like Jesus, which is funny (at least to me) because Zeus is part of the Greek diety and Jesus is part of the Christian diety...anyway.

/i/ it.

Yes, a person with diagnosed Asperger's Syndrome can have a social life away from his/her computer. All it requires is a little practice, self-confidence built with a little practice, and the willingness to do whatever is necessary or whatever comes to mind, regardless of the mean-spirited opinions of those around them (which also comes with practice).

Although I'm hoping like heck that I'm not the first guy to accidentally take out a lighting fixture like that.

FYI, the reason why they're chanting "PORNO" at the beginning was because the host wanted to know what I did for a living, so I told her that I'm a writer. When she asked what I wrote, I jokingly replied that I wrote screenplays for adult films.
