Hi.
I live in Australia about 150 km south of Sydney. (I don't know the imperial system very well).

I have always enjoyed watching QI on the TV. All this stuff is definitely 'quite interesting'. I have always enjoyed giving a bit of education to my friends and teachers after watching an episode of QI each week.ism

I have autism, so forgive me for being unusual. I like to call myself as a very weird person. I don't like other people calling other people or themselves weird in front of me. In fact I'll ask you guys and girls if you think I'm weird.

Please tell me what you think.

P.S. I'm not really good with technology, so I don't know how this will turn out until I post it.

Welcome Gavin :-)

We have quite a few people here with Aspergers so I guess you'll fit right in.

Hello, Gavin. I'm not going to vote as I don't know you at all. But welcome to the forums.

That's all right. I don't know myself at all either.

I'm about 100kms north of Brisbane and I have lived in Sydney too, but well, I prefer Queensland.

I'm with zomg, I don't judge by weird or not, particularly if it's not exactly something you choose! So welcome.

when you think of this weird universe we are born into, when you think of the weirdness of existing at all, people who behave as this is all perfectly understandable and not puzzling are, well, weird

Oh lets face it, I don't care one way or the other.

Weird is relative, and since you live in a land that is on the bottom of the world, the fact you all just don't fall off is strange.

That and you are all are nothing more than descendants of English Criminals, thus honest. :)

Welcome aboard! :-)

That's assuming Australia's never had immigrants...

Or that some of us are in fact descedants of a First Fleet sailor, not a convict...

That's exactly what a convict decedents would likely say. :)

How do, Gavin.

I abstained because it's not for me to say what's weird or what isn't. As Lukecash said upthread, it's all relative.
