I've always just sort of thought I was weird my whole life, and it lead to constant depression and anxiety. Now that I feel like I have something to relate to, I'm happier then I've been in my whole life, and my circle of friends loves me more then ever. I've turned into almost an absolute optimist, minus a few minor debates about my interests, but I try and stay polite. I'm not good at introducing myself, so I guess I'll just start by saying I'm a 26 year old Bi-sexual Man with Aspergers. I'm very obsessed with Video Gaming, especially fantasy RPGs and Science Fiction and also watch a lot of shows and Anime. I guess I consider myself somewhat of a geek, but I've never really used that word negatively, I consider it a positive label in most cases. :)

Thank you :D

This is a wonderful website so far, and I'm loving the people here the more I browse/lurk and occasionally post.

Very much so, is that an Anthro Kite? I'm a big fan of Killua as you can tell, I've completed the entire HxH reboot, as well as loved the original anime back in the day. I still need to get around to reading the manga, but I'm easily distracted from online manga reading. :P

It is! I watched the reboot as well, but haven't gotten the chance to see the original anime.
I have a copy of the first volume of the manga, but I haven't gotten the rest yet. I as well get easily distracted when it comes to reading manga online.

The reboot is definitely better in many ways, but the original had that 90s charm.

The 90's charm is my favourite, I watch a lot of anime from around that time.

Welcome to WP. :D I see you're a fellow Canadian, what province are you from, if you don't mind me asking?

I was born in Nova Scotia, but I currently live in southern Ontario.
