If you want to know where I stand, however, I think that James just really needs to stop obsessing about finding a girlfriend and do some "healthy growing up" on his own, and he'll probably be okay. Right now, he's cutting off his nose to spite his face, insisting that he can't grow up without this extremely specific and nearly impossible experience. If he continues down this path, his attitudes are going to become so distasteful that he will never be able to find a healthy relationship, thus dooming himself (in his own mind) to being stunted forever.

Ohhh! In that case, we are pretty much on the same side. As I said, I did hear from James that he is actually more open-minded than people thought and he only posted a narrow set of standards because he thought that'd be the only kind of girl who could like him, but my opinion before that was pretty much the same as yours. (And, for the record, I have told him that he shouldn't worry about still being single since he's only 20. I haven't heard back from him yet, but then again, it was a while before he replied to my first message.)

The split with John had nothing to do with any conflict over that, however, but over his appalling treatment of me on my own journal as well as in real life, and the fact that whatever his problem was with me was spilling over into the asperger community. If you wish, you can read my post about it. There will be no making up, his behavior was totally unacceptable and I will never acknowledge his existence again.

Ohhh, I see. I didn't know this split had happened before the Forbidden Comment Threads.

I hope that doesn't make you uncomfortable or upset, because whether we agree on these matters or not, it doesn't impact how I perceive you. Our interactions have ever been pleasant and thoughtful... though I still think you are way too hard on yourself. :P

Thanks so much! I think a big part of it was the fact that sometimes it didn't feel like we were getting along well, so now that I know we are, I think it's safe to assume my depression just might finally be over!*

And just in time for Christmas, too... it's a Christmas miracle! :D

It's hard to describe this journal in just a few paragraphs... but I'll try

Just an autistic guy born in 1993 (hence the username) who's had this journal since I was 14. Has trouble phrasing things well especially in earlier entries, so keep that in mind.

My interests have fluctuated in the 17 years since I've had this journal, but the following has remained constant:
- I like Mario games (mainly the platformers, Mario Kart, Mario Party) and Super Smash Bros.
- I like Garfield
- I like Homestar Runner
- I like Enya
- And I've always loved the idea of wacky crossovers between ANY of my interests, whether it's in the form of a short-lived webcomic in 2006-2008, a short-lived backwards lyrics site in 2008, writing down weird dreams in 2009-2011, playing Tomodachi Life a lot in 2014-2016, or what most of my posts are about these days: playing around with Character.AI starting in 2023. I still can't believe I'm actually in a world where an AI of Enya can talk to AIs of Mario or Garfield or even my favorite obscure characters like Mary O. from Super Mario Maker. :O
