Hey there, I am Misery. As I'm coming from Wrongplanet, there may be a few here that recognize me, so maybe I'll spot a couple of familiar names here, but for the most part, definitely new here. Found this forum via the suggestion of someone I know from that site (who is also here) and decided to give this place a go.
It's good to find another forum like this, since I have such a hard time fitting into most "normal" places. I have a diagnosis of PDD-NOS... though I usually just say "autism" for simplicity's sake (because I'm way too lazy to give a more specific definition than that), and then there's other things that just make me seem that much more strange to many people. My appearance, for instance, I'm male but tend to look kinda androgynous, and will get mistaken for a girl every now and then... that one can make direct in-person socializing get unpleasant. And then my interests and likes/dislikes tend to very much clash with the norm (for example, I dont watch TV or movies, and you couldnt PAY me to drink even a drop of alcohol) so it's hard to find common ground with people. Among other things It all leads to me being overly solitary much of the time... wish that wasnt the case, but you know how it is....
As my hobbies and interests go, I'm mostly into gaming, and also into twisty puzzles, I love animals and nature, and I like hiking when the weather isnt made of stupid. I live in the absolute middle of nowhere and have nothing but free time on my hands.
