I met a new aspie yesterday!

She's the cousin of a family friend. A really nice person, but she's shy (well duh), a fair bit older than me, lives in a different city and I suspect that she doesn't know about AS. But I have very little doubt that she's an aspie.
We didn't really exchange that many words but because we were both quite direct I learned alot more about her in a short time than I usually do with people.
I've promised myself that next time I talk to her, I'll tell her about my own aspergers. I reckon I'd be doing her a favour, even if it could wreck the oppertunity for a friendship. I can't be bothered with lying to preserve a friendship, it's not worth the trouble. But she seems quite socially tolerant anyway. And she's a cat freak- that's a good sign, right?

Cool!!

If she likes cats, she must be a nice person!

Cat people are among my favorite people.

What about Dr.Evil... he's a cat person...

Holding his cat, "Mr. Bigglesworth."]
Dr. Evil: That makes me angry, and when Dr. Evil gets angry Mr. bigglesworth gets upset. And when Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset, people DIE!

Heheh. Someone once told me I reminded them of Doctor Evil... Is that a bad thing?

Who is Dr Evil?

Sorry to steal the satisfaction of replying to this from CockneyRebel, but have you ever heard of Austin Powers?

Archmage

Oh yeah, and does this mean that me and Cockney Rebel have to be enemies now?

I know Austin Power, but I've never seen the movies.

dr. evil is baisically the villain in the movie. played by the same guy as austin powers. very very funny. got it now?

i heard there will be a new one in a few years, i love those movies they're so dumb it's awesome

I had a weird thought the other day, about a half-forgotten incident while I was on vacation. This was a day when I actually looked much better than normal, as I was wearing makeup and contact lenses. In any case, I went to a bookstore, and was looking at a shelf that contained books about subjects X and Y. I was only really interested in subject X, but someone came over, and started talking non-stop about subject Y. I did not know how to extradite myself from the situation. I kind of thought he might be hitting on me, but towards the end, he blurted out, "Oh, I see you have a ring. It seems like you are married." He didn't seem disappointed or anything. I guess he just wanted to talk non-stop about subject Y.

I think now that he may have been an Aspie.
