Hi there!
I, uhh, made this account a little while ago, then proceeded to get cold feet about the whole business. But now I'm here, and I hope I'm here to stay! Truth be told I've joined a lot of online communities in the past, but then I disappear because... I don't know, I just do. This time I'm trying to dig my heels in, especially since this looks like such a great place.
So! I'm 18, Australian, living somewhat isolated and completing my last year of high school via distance education before I make the Big Move and head to university (independance and responsibilities! ARGH! 
). I love me some gaming, reading and creative writing, and I plan on going on to study psychology.
Both my younger brother and my father are fairly high on the Asperger's side of the autism spectrum, and while I'm a lot lower than them I am still certainly there. Generally this just means social situations scare me (though I can certainly cope, and hope to pry myself out of my shell somewhat as time goes on), but I also can't stand certain sounds or colours, and fluorescent lighting can do really strange things to my mood.
Anyway! Enough babble. Looking forward to participating here and meeting you all.
