From out of darkness bursts the light.

Craig

Well-Known Member
I wanted to go with Greetings and Salutations, but alas it was already chosen.

Well anyways, Greetings and Salutations! My name is Craig (Hi Craig!) and I'm from Scotland, you most likely haven't heard of it, but it's north of England, and north of England isn't in the sea, there is in fact a country north of England called Scotland.

So anyways... I'm male, 24 years old, single, yes? Interested? I know you are!!! :bounce:

I have a great many hobbies, in fact I collect hobbies like a stamp collector collects stamps. However, my favorites are Magic: The Gathering, Wargames and Computer Games (for which I have several hundred).

Important things to know about me? Well lets see then, how about we start with the white Elephant in the room, I have Asperger's Syndrome. Part of me really didn't want to tell you this, and wanted to make you guess to see if those of you gifted with the powers autistic-fantasticness could detect it, but reason won out over playfulness, this time bwahahaha.

I also have Chronic Insomnia, which I have had for 10 years now, and have built up a sleep debt of almost two years. Yikes! Currently I have been awake for 26 hours, joy!

Thanks to Chronic Insomnia, I have also developed Euphoria Syndrome, which keeps in a constant state of bliss and is perhaps the only reason I haven't offed myself by now. After all, who needs drink or drugs when you're already there!

Chronic Insomnia is also the cause for my lack of memory retention, I literally forget things within 5-6 weeks of having thought about them, and can't remember them. Oh no I can't remember people, but oh yes I get to enjoy things a second time, a third time, a fourth time and so on and so on. Factory reset is 14-15 years old, around the time my Insomnia took a turn for the worst.

I have artificial aquaphobia, presumably I witnessed something that made me terrified of water, I've forgotten what that was. Unfortunately I live in a country where its is guaranteed to rain several times within a 5 week time period, and the need to occasionally wash myself ensures that I'll forever encounter water.

Possibly eccentric, never actually been diagnosed for it, but the longer I go without sleep, the lower my inhibition becomes and more wacky / off the rails I become. After a good nights sleep I'm almost the living avatar of the famous cartoon character Droopy the dog. After a couple nights without sleep I'm something akin to Roger Rabbit and every hyper active outgoing anime character you've ever seen.

Regardless of the amount of sleep I've had, my humor is that of a deadpan snarker and I am notoriously flippant, I really haven't got serious bone in my body, and consider I like to discuss what neural typicals consider to be "highly controversial" subjects, yeah... Lets just say that I get accused of trolling A LOT. I also have weird habit of backing the minority of any given discussion or debate, the more it's getting hammered, the more I want to jump in there and defend it. And I can waffle, oh dear lord how I can waffle on and on, once the subject has peaked my interest, there is no stopping me. I mostly win all my arguments solely by talking my opponent to death, or at least into submission.

Morals and Values! I am an eternal Optimist, a devout Idealist and very-very strictly adhere to ideas of Justice, Order and Retribution.

Physical traits! Charisma! Whee!!!

I'm 6'6" tall, weigh around 180KG, non-smoker, non-drinker, typically have very dry skin, wear glasses due to Astigmatism in my right eye, have a great many scars (the physical kind, though I have no shortage of mental scars).

Philosophy and Religion.

Despite the fact that most people mistake me for a bouncer, or a heavy door, I am in fact a Pacifist, and a Pragmatic Buddhist.

My results on the Aspie Test.

Your Aspie score: 142 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 67 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them, in fact I will deeply offended if there are no questions, well maybe, though maybe yes, but probably not.
 
Hmm... that's quite a lot Craig, but at least you can't say your life isn't interesting. Nice to meet you and hope you have a fun time here and learn a bunch.
 
Hi Craig! Did you ever like Pokemon cards? Your writing is so great! Really enjoyed your introduction, about Scotland being North of England, and "not sure if you've heard of it", I am a text-thinker and that made me really smile, the way you strung it together. Thanks!! :)
