Hi Everybody,

Welcome me all Wrong Planeteers. My name is John. I'm 18 years old and I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome a long time ago. I am from Pennsylvania. I am of Irish descent and I was brought up in a Roman Catholic family. My height is 5'5 1/2". I even sometimes wish I was taller. My interests are music, old electronics, DVD, VHS and computers.

My favorite music is "West End Girls" by the Pet Shop Boys, "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles, "Love Story" by Taylor Swift (Yes, I am a Taylor Swift fan), Alanis Morissette, Red Hot Chili Peppers and other old late '70s/80s bands/singers.

My favorite movies and TV shows are "The Simpsons Movie", "Beavis & Butt-Head Do America", "The Cable Guy", HGTV, "Grease", classic TV shows and movies from the last 30 years and stuff like that. I don't really have any "favorite" TV show, movie or song.

Oh yeah, and I ENJOY working out, or at least I aspire to do it with a lot of discipline.

~John

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

I personally find Taylor Swift to be vaguely hot. :lol:
