Konnichiwa,

I am new to this forum, though I have popped in from time to time. I'm a MtF transgender who happens to have Asperger's, Neurofibromatosis, and a mood disorder. I gotta say, life has indeed been tough. But something indeed has helped me. Even with all of this, I have always had this inner drive to never let in. In high school people would attack me, just because I was different (it's the south, who would've thought eh?) but even then, I'd never back down. Due to them being the jocks, I'd always get the burnt end of the stick (worse punishment). Anyways things have been tough, and I've devoted all my time into computers and meeting people and being there for them. Well, today one of my friends said something special to me.

My computer got infected with that little goo.gl virus that was going around (might've clicked it when shutting off the pc alarm) and it spammed all my friends. Thankfully, not one of my friends clicked the link, but one was not online. Well when they got online, they had the attitude of "you know I was at work right?". I had told them not to follow that link before they even got online, and I kind of started freaking out. But then my friend said something to me, and boy did it hit home in a good way. "It looked suspicious. I know you, and you'd never talk like that. You're the silly, eccentric loony who cares. You're my friend and unique." And this brought on my decision to join WrongPlanet.

Also, sorry if this seems like a wall of text. I tend to ramble.

i'll take an eccentric who cares over everything else any day of the week
welcome to our cool club YukiNeko
btw, would the neko be referring to the japanese language word for cat?

Yes, it would.... I'm also... Alright, I admit it, I'm a furry to XD

i'll admit i'm not familiar with "furry" but does yuki mean a thing or is that a name? my late mother was japanese but she wasn't able to teach me any

Furries are into anthropomorphic animal art (tended to be heavy in cartoons as children). Also Yuki can also be spelled Yuuki, and it has a double meaning. It can mean "snow" or "little princess"

so a parent who names their child yuki most likely is naming them "princess?" only 3 phrases stuck in my head [from my angry mother frustrated at her dense son ] - baka yaro, udasai nah, and sos ishi [the last one directed at my late father]. i do wish i had more facility for learning japanese [and other languages] for there are many japanese things i'd like to investigate, which requires fluency in the language to do so.

lots of aspies are successful in computer science. best of luck and welcome.

thank you

You would be correct on the name, but for me, I choose the meaning as "snow" because while it may be calm and gentle, it hides a vicious fury. It's how much I am willing to do to protect my family and friends.

Edit: Forgot to mention, it's also the reaction I get when someone is blatantly stupid in my face. Like a friend was asked by a lady for a 2 hour dvd, and she freaked out in anger because it said 120 minutes.

do you like isao tomita?

eh, not so much. I have an eclectic taste in music. I like Nobuo Uematsu and I'm definately a metalhead.

generation gap, i guess

Eh, I still like the beach boys, beastie boys, twisted sister, and the original metalica. Oh, and ozzy. Yeah, maybe the generation gap has a lot to do with it, but I'm still fairly old school.
