    FE2LA's 11th Annieversary

    Today, March 13, 2025, marks the 11th anniversary of what I’ve come to call my Day of Discovery — the day my autism diagnosis was reconfirmed, finally putting an end to years of uncertainty and self-doubt. It was a turning point in my life, one that gave me clarity but also forced me to face...

    The Law & Order Franchise

    Hey everyone, So, I have a bit of a confession to make. Despite being someone who loves diving into all sorts of pop culture, I've never actually watched an episode of Law & Order. Shocking, right? Especially considering how this franchise has practically become a cornerstone of television...

    Y2K: 25 Years Later – My Journey Through 2000

    Wow, it's hard to believe it’s been 25 years since the year 2000. Time flies, right? I’ve been reflecting on that year, and it was a really good one for me, especially when it came to diving into the world of anime. So, here’s a little trip down memory lane: First off, I got into Sailor Moon...

    FE2LA's 2024 Year-End Message

    Hey everyone, As 2024 winds down, I’ve been reflecting on the year that was, and I wanted to share a few thoughts. It’s been another year full of experiences, many of them centered around anime conventions. I’ve made new friends and reconnected with old ones, and honestly, those moments of...

    Why Do Some People Choose to Be Sarcastaballs?

    FE2LA here, with your periodic reminder that, yes, I'm still here. So, I’ve been thinking about something lately: why do some people feel the need to act like, well, rude, smarmy, unsympathetic sarcastaballs? (I’m borrowing this term from the South Park episode of the same name, where it...

    Technology of the 1980s/90s/2000s (Decade), How I Love Thee

    In a world that feels more chaotic every day, I’ve found a haven in something simple but powerful: technology from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. There's something so special about these old devices that takes me back to simpler times. Here's a glimpse of what I’ve been diving into lately: -Old...

    Beyond 2000/Tomorrow

    I’ve been thinking about an old gem from Australian TV—Beyond 2000—and wondering if anyone else remembers it. For those who don’t know, it was a show that aired back in the late '80s and early '90s, and it was all about futuristic technology, groundbreaking inventions, and cool innovations that...

Yes, I've had lot happen to me in the 10 years I've been here. I look back at quite a bit of my older posts, how unbalanced I...

    Appearing on a TV game show

    Login | Asperger's & Autism Community - Wrong Planet - I wanted to sort of expand on this recent thread of mine. What are your thoughts on appearing on a TV game show? Me, I'd be excited. :)

    Going to Japan or Being on Jeopardy!?

    NOTE: The ! in Jeopardy! name is part of the show's title. ----- Hiya. I wasn't sure whether to put this, so here goes..... I have thought long and hard of going to Japan, fulfilling something that almost happened 18 years ago (I applied to go to Japan with my school, but I didn't make the cut)...

    Hanging on to our childhood likes

    Hi, all. Not sure whether this is an autism thing or it's my generation (I am in my 30s, w/o being specific); but we tend to hold on to our childhoods longer than any other generation. I mean, I still like Garfield and Clifford the Big Red Dog; it could be because of myself, or how crappy the...

    Being Focused on What You Want/Repetitiveness

    Hi, all. Well, it seems like I can't go to one of my fave anime convention this November; mostly because my dad is away on vacation, and my mom is afraid of being left alone for a whole weekend, despite the fact we live in a good area. Yeah, I wanted to go, but I guess I gotta know when not to...

    "My Day of Discovery" - 8 years later

    I forgot to post this Sunday, but here it is: Sunday was "My Day of Discovery". Today is the 8th year anniversary of a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Before I begin, please note that while I've told this story to many people, it's also for the benefit of those who are new to me. What...

    Shopping @ thrift stores

    Where I'm from, North America, we call these stores "thrift stores". In Europe, they're called "charity stores". But no matter what part of the world you're in, you will be FLOORED as to what you can find in each store. So, with that said, who here are avid 'thrifters'? I am one of those...

    How did you get into anime?

    Any anime fans in here? Tell me how you got into it. ----- It was a slow evolution for me- first saw Ranma 1/2 and Sailor Moon in the mid-1990s, then Pokemon in 1998, but then Sailor Moon got me into this fandom to stay in 2000. :D

    10 years ago, where did you think your life was going?

    Self-explanatory post. ----- Kind of nowhere. I had nothing going for me then, except my love of anime. I was still rough around the edges, and would occasionally get into a few tiffs, but not anymore. I'm more stable now - and I am a better person for it. :)

    Pretending to be in another time

    Hi, all. I'm not sure where this goes, but I'll put it here. ----- Do you ever dream of yourself in another time in history? I do, mostly in the 1980s and 1990s, and sometimes from the 1970s. Those were, I think, my favorite periods in history.

    E2LA's 2021 Year-End Address

    Hey, all, E2LA here. Well, I guess it's time for my end-of-year address. I've said it before in the past, but it bears repeating: Roy Mustang once said "Nothing's perfect, the world's not perfect, but it's there for us, trying the best it can. That's what makes it so damn beautiful." Yes, this...

    Do You Remember When TV Stations Signed Off And Signed On?

    Hi, all. Here's something I remember: TV and radio stations signed off and signed on the air (or, in those in Commonwealth countries, closed down and started up, respectively.) I remember. One example of such: Surely, I can't be the only one who remembers when TV stations didn't broadcast...

    Challenging Your Thoughts/Overthinking Things

    Hi, all. You know, over the past two years, it seems life has been disrupted by this pandemic. But how I am I doing, as a person? Well, alright seems to be the correct term. I sometimes tend to overthink things, like what will happen to me in the near-term future, but somehow, I turn out...
