Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aaron L" data-source="post: 2465651" data-attributes="member: 926">Well, since you asked...I am 29 years old.  I live with my parents, trying to save enough money to go back to college, for what I have no idea yet.  I was very good at psychology and philosophy and had my respective professors reccomend me majoring in thier fields.  I initially went for art, but was very disillusioned with the marketing path they were pushing me towards.  (should have gone to Penn State, when I went to the loca branch of Lock Haven they looked at my paperwork and said "very nice, why do you want to go here?!"  but I had friends going there, and I cant really function on my own...)  My avatar is my step neice Lila, who has been keeping me sane for a while now. (I need gto update her picture, she is a lot cuter now!)I have Tourette Sundrome, Attention Deficit Disroder, and Degenerative Disc Disroder (yes, I collect disorders apparently).  I also have sleeping problems, all of which contributed to my flunking out of college the first time (back surgery twice in 2 years in the middle of college when youre 19, combined with  complete inability to talk to people in positions of authority or ask for help, makes for a bad time of things.)  I would like to describe myself as an artist, but I havent been doing very much drawing lately.  I like to write but I have a hard time finishing anything I start.  Mostly now I just make up histories and NPCs for my game world which Ill probably never get to run again.  I like to read comic books, but again I havent been doing much of that lately either.  I enjoy science fiction and my favorite movie of all time is Ghostbusters (sci fi, comedy, and horror all in one, how can you beat that?)  I like some anime, and Tenchi Muyo! is my all time favorite show ever.  (The original OVAs, nothing else comes close, and see my sig. for my favorite character)I have... no experience at all with women.  (which is probably for the best considering my horribly faulty genetics)  While I wouldnt actually claim to have Aspergers Syndrome, I do fit the profile very well, but I think it mostly a combination of having odd tastes, a lack of social skills, and a very charismatic younger brother who took the lead in everything.ENWorld has been a comforting and friendly community for me since it started, and has been providing me with my only source of "gaming comraderie" for a while now, and I value it and all of you here very highly.I am pretty good looking (so I have been told, and not just by my mom... ) and am pretty intelligent; I was in gifted programs thoughout school and am consistently regarded as smarter than everyone else by my friends (even though I tell them not to mistake obscure knowledge and education for actual intelligence.)[edit to add pikchur]<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/Achraziel/aaronhead.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />I am often mistaken for being much younger than I am, often assumed to be my brothers younger sibling (he is 4 years younger than I.  My friend and I have decided that I am lot more innocent, and I am about as meek as they come, which makes me seem a lot younger)I have recently been abandoned by almost all of my circle of friends (my entire gaming group) and my very close and only brother moved away to Pittsburgh, and Ive been in a pretty severe depression for several months now.  Fortunately I have met a very nice young woman (who has a boyfriend who treats her like a doorknob) who actually gets me out of my house to socialize regularly for the first time in my 29 years of life, and to my amazement claims to enjoy my company and has become my best friend.  Ive made a few new friends, none of whom play D&D, unfortunately.  I have been drinking a lot lately however, but its both less fun and more expensive than gaming.  The last half a year has been the hardest time of my life, Ive been trying to change the direction of everything, and some of it isnt working out very well so far, but all I can do is try and hope, because it wasnt woring out at all the way it was going.  Sorry, I didnt want to make one of "those" posts, but since the question was asked...  I just dont get to talk about myself very much (and Im a tad drunk to boot).  Feel free to ingore.</blockquote>
