Geek, out!
I find it amusing how similar yet different we are. I happen to be an aspie geek myself, though I am female instead of male. A lot of the facts I happen to relate to.
I will be attending Metro State this fall in Denver, hoping to actually accomplish something in my life. I have gone far too long failing at life.
