I'm very enthusiastic

I have a weird sense of humor at times.

I love crossover Christmas songs, the 60s songs that sound like they're from the 50s. A Christmas Halo and Pretty Paper are two such examples.

I'm looking forward to when many American classics go public domain within the next 1-3 years.

It's probably time I introduced cake baking into my day to day stuff

I'm sure I could fit it in, in between EastEnders and cups of tea

I made a list about ten traits of "classic" autism (below is its translation from Polish by Google Translator):

Features of "classic" autism (regardless of IQ and functional language):

1. "Social-emotional learning disability" (resulting in, among other things, deficits in theory of mind and at least partial alexithymia),
2. Idiosyncratic processing of sensory stimuli (often very unpleasant and clearly disruptive to life), susceptibility to sensory overload and shutdowns or meltdowns,
3. Strong need for constancy and predictability, for doing things the same way,
4. Rigidity and inflexibility of behavior, thinking, and interests,
5. Lack of understanding of imaginative play, at least in early childhood,
6. Often a more or less delayed speech development or even no speech,
7. More or less prosopagnosia and difficulty recognizing people by appearance and/or voice,
8. Pragmatic language impairment (limited ability to understand figurative, implicit meanings, abstract concepts, literal thinking and interpretation, difficulties with conversation and knowledge of interpersonal communication rules,
9. Poor, absent, or inadequate facial expressions and nonverbal communication,
10. Usually clearly dominated by non-verbal thinking (e.g., visual, patterns, sounds, movements).

As a proud Salfordian I will never accept Media City as being Salford

I have a birthmark on the back of my neck.

I suppose that I fit the best into "dork" definition despite high verbal IQ, not "geek" or "nerd" definition and my sister appears to me to fit the best to "dweeb" definition (because she appears to be not enthusiastic), not "geek", "nerd" or "dork" definitions. I saw interesting Venn diagram about the differences between "geek", "nerd", "dork", "dweeb" above ten years ago.

I'm pretty much of pacifist, which is funny given my significant interest in military stuff

I wish I had the luxury of being able to be a pacifist

I could do with a dull moment

I like the crunchy bits on the chicken me

I've been invited to a Halloween party this October and they asked me what scary thing I was coming as.
I'm trying to think of a way to dress up as Nigel Farage.

Oh mate I love a good costume

Or maybe me and my partner should come as a two-headed monster or something so that we won't get separated from each other at the party. There's going to be lots of people there apparently.
