| Well, yes and no. I certainly wouldn't bother if I won enough money in a lottery or something to last a lifetime, but since I don't think that'll happen I really do want a job (I'm currently unempoyed.) It's not that I want to work, I want the thing that comes as a result of working, which is money... |

| Actually there's a lot that you can do, based on your interests. There's a huge market for gaming in Japan so you could combine your Japanese skills with your love of gaming and get a job involved in game creation. You also mention your love of movies and have read a lot of articles about how they'... |

I probably see about 60+ movies a year at the theater, and I go by myself for most of these.Plus reading\watching interviews how their made. Also took acting classes and got in some indie movies. Gaming. Lately semi-competitive games like CS... |

| Since I take things literally a lot, people tend to think that I'm a smart ass. Thankfully most find it amusing. I only tell those type of jokes with people I know...otherwise they'll think I'm being rude. Normally I try to find flaws in the semantics of other's speech. Kind of like this one: http:/... |

| I haven't been without work for more than three months since I started working when I was 15. Even though I was not diagnosed yet, I was careful to chose jobs with limited customer interaction and did pretty well, although I'm paid crap because of it. |

| I taught in Korea for one year (EPIK program). It was decent and I probably would have enjoyed myself if I tried to learn the language more (I could only speak survival and while I can read hungal characters phonetically, my vocab was limited to food). Depending on how you go at it, living abroad co... |

| When I lived with my ex, I tried for twice a day when possible. Normally just once...sometimes three or more times on days without work. That's when I was in a relationship living with someone. For me, sex should be as a natural part of a routine, like eating breakfast. How I miss those days... |

I kind of got the job because of a contact high in command. I majored in Asian studies and my passion was Japane... |

| When I was in college, I felt there was something off in my life, so I took advantage of the free counseling they had there. After three months, my counselor told me that I might have Aspergers, told me what it was and recommended me someone who specializes in Aspergers. Since I had no health insura... |

Only if I'm looking. As of now, I need a job. After that, I'll probably start carrying one. It's paid off in the past.  My first girlfriend thought I had a lot of experience because I was prepared...took a few months to convince her that I had no experience before her. |

After I did that...well, one thing lead to another. :) Can't deny I was unbelievably lucky with the timing and situ... |

| Hate my GPA. Graduated with 2.956....I got A's and one B during my last four semesters. My "major GPA" is about 3.4 (I think). If only one of my A- grades were a A, I'd have that coveted "3.0". At least I got my Bachelor's of Art's in Unemployment. |

| It depends on the situation. If I'm with my girlfriend (NT), I can talk for hours and hours. I never can get bored since she gets interested in my hobbies even if she didn't know anything about them. If friends get me on the right topic, I can talk for hours. Now, if I don't know the people and they... |
