A bit about you: I'm a 2nd year Sociology and Criminology student - education is pretty much everything for me, especially sociology. I can literally talk for hours about it (no, seriously). Hopefully I'll do my phd in it (I'm a straight-A student so far so fingers crossed!) and lecture in time. I'd like to think that I'm quite a caring person and owing to my obsession with academia I love to learn about new cultures and new people...I never stop reading, the Internet is an amazing thing for me as I can sit for hours on it just studying and finding out new things. Right now I'm trying to get a diagnosis of AS which is a lot harder than I thought it would be; however university and all my friends have been immensely supportive of me as its pretty obvious that this is what I have. I was diagnoised with depression at 17 although these days I think if my AS had been picked up on as a child it may not have developed with such ferocity, and the more I attribute the issues I have with people to AS the less upset I feel as I know its not my own failure to interact.

I am gay and as I'm sure all LGBT people know its a VERY small world out there, so it would be nice to meet other gay people (female or male) who have intimate experience with the condition. Although of course the more friends of all different shapes and varieties the better :) Generally I'd just like to be me, which is very geeky, very shy and very silly in her sense of humour (although it has a very dark edge to it - I'm not one for the faint hearted either).



Likes: Sociology!!! Education, reading, creative writing, going to the gym, swimming, films, music, sitting in with my 360 and my Wii (and the PS3 will come too in time!) - complete gaming geek. Like nothing better than sitting in with a good movie and a glass of wine.



Dislikes: I don't like cruel people and backstabbers - I'm too honest for my own good and a bit naive, I've had a lot of people take advantage of that over the years...so generally I don't like loudness, people who lie, hurtful, spiteful people. I also hate mushrooms but thats a different story :)



What sort of e-pal do you want? (boy or etc): I get on better with straight guys who have the same interests as me, but it would be nice to also meet other LGBT individuals with this. Age doesn't really matter but obviously its not really appropriate for someone of my age to befriend a 13 year old online!



What Languages you speak ( not ones you translate on google): Only English, sorry! Trying to learn Gaelic though...
