Hello there, I'm Sheep, or [SPACE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK].
I've been diagnosed with Autism—well, the book Unmasking Autism capitalizes the A in it, so I suppose that's grammatically correct—a year ago. Maybe ADHD too, but that's a story for another time. Something, something, a big can of worms... But anyways, I couldn't really find an Autistic community near where I live, and the ones I could find are in Bangkok. That wouldn't have been a problem if I was a few hundred something kilometers away from it. And then there's the issue with language barriers—I mean, I could speak Thai, but I've forgotten most of it a few years back and pretty much am stuck in a basic level. Yes, I know this site is British. That book I've mentioned earlier made it clear enough for me. I did have a bit of self-discovery for a couple of months after the diagnosis, and like most of my fixations, it seemed to get forgotten. No, it didn't really change my life—no one got to know about it, anyway.
Right, so, interests. Let's see... SIGNALIS, Metallica, RWBY, novels (I really loved The Sum of All Fears), writing, movies (Die Hard is an excellent movie), Persona, Deus Ex, bass/guitar-playing... uh... whatever Wikipedia article my brain settles on. It's that bad, trust me. Oh, and excuse the pretty long block of text earlier. Funny how I'm a whole lot more focused on writing that instead of working on my writing projects. Huh. Oh, almost forgot: I quite like Fire Emblem: Fates, too! No, I haven't played the other ones. Maybe I'll pick that up again someday.
But anyways, I hope this'll be a pretty neat community, the fact that I'm a quarter a world away be damned.
...Do you know that Les Claypool almost got into Metallica?
Hello Sheep
I'm Pegg, live in the UK, in the midst of nowhere, where rain is a real thing, traditionally and now.
I am solitary, with just a dog for company, consider myself an historian, enjoy a bit of photography and drawing, and work in a school- for the time being, leastways
I hope you enjoy being on the forum!
I do consider myself somewhat solitary too, and also helping is the fact that I'm stuck in somewhere that's not Bangkok—that's where most of the people are, anyway.
I think I have a bit of a thing for Cold War-era history. My love for Tom Clancy's novels may have helped, too. Maybe I should consider working as a director of photography for a movie or something sometime in the future...
