about me

Fri Apr 3, 2009, 3:22 PM
  • Mood: Spring Fever
  • Drinking: water
After reading someone else's journal, I've decided to do what she did and spill about myself so that others can better understand me.

My name's Daniel. Everyone calls me Dan, or DJ if there's more than one with my name that they know.

You'll have to know this about me if you wish to have a better understanding of me… I am autistic because of a mild case of Asperger's Syndrome. It has social and even memory implications on me.

I draw little bits and things only as an afterthought; I'm not actually any good at it. I'm better at fanfiction writing with the anime that I like, and RPing with a few others that also like what I like (which spans more than just anime, mind you). I also am an avid amateur photographer. Music is a constant driving force, and my sights are set on the numbers for a career in accounting -- with the IRS, no less.

I'm a medium Roman Catholic, believe in the man upstairs, and my beliefs are sort of all over the place.

[Excuse the next text, as it seems Hali-san seems to have said it well already. I'm changing the wording around somewhat.]

I always do my best to not judge people (even if they step over me on some levels), and accept them as human beings loved by the man upstairs, if not humankind. I do my hardest to avoid ignorance and hate, as they're a real poison to my existence, and it upsets me a lot. I feel you need reasons or a decent opinion (just don't force it on others) if you dislike or even HATE things, concepts, social changes or acceptances; however, hating people or groups of people who have never done you wrong simply makes absolutely NO SENSE to me. What I mean is, you can hate people who have hurt you (obviously), but I’m really talking the likes of ways such as being racist, a homophobe or an Islamophobe, etc here.

I believe if you feel criticism is needed, then for the love of everything good, do it in a way that can help a person improve and grow. I believe compassion and understanding are the best ways of reaching people, even if it's over the internet. However, there are times when tough love would be better -- don't I know it…



That's all I can think of that'd be, well, necessary. If you guys think I should add something, comment saying what it is.

I'm like you on the belief part: totally alll over the place. Like I used to be Christain but couldn't accept all non-Xians go to hell automatically. I'm very close towards Islam in belief though myself.

You do not know how much I agree with you in that bold paragraph. :|

But it's good to know you a bit better~

I have to say 2 things:

1.- NEVER use Asperger as a excuse. It's pathethic.
I have that damn syndrome too but I don't give a fuck.
I prefer live with it and use it like an advantage.

And, Asperger DOESN'T equals Autism.
They're two DIFFERENT things. Asperger is focusing in a specific theme (use more a specific part of the brain) and have more intelectual intelligence than the emotional one (That's the reason because they have some problems with social life). Autism is lost the contact with the real word and have a "own" world (Don't have any kind of social interaction)
Asperger is usually confused (or have relation) with other syndromes and physologhical conditions (depression, bipolar disorder, attentional deficit, etc)

2.- If you do your "best" at understanding people, why do you get angry when I've told you "I think your characters are Mary Sue-ish/Gary Stu-ish and bleh"??!
It's my opinion, so you have to respect it. I've always respected your opinion. :|
(and if I've said something wrong, or something you get hurt, I'm sorry)


That's all... It's pretty good give some information of oneself :)
(and sorry for bad english ^^; )

i have little to say to you.

(everyone and everything is driving me up the fucking wall today, i'm getting very sick due to an UNGODLY amount of stress that i am unable to relieve myself of and i don't need to see this right now)

Asperger's is defined as being a higher-functioning autism. So it is a kind of autism.
and i only have a mild case. nevertheless, if that is not responsible for me having a severely limited memory, then you tell me what IS responsible. i've been given ZERO explanations as to why my memory is like that. [i also know advantages come with it, and i make use of them -- what drives me CRAZY is my impacted memory and no possible reasonable explanation for why i have it.]

and truth be told, I was only TELLING that I have A.S.; in essence it was saying "everyone, my social ability is impaired because of this; don't be surprised if i'm not "normal", alright?"



as far as the answer at #2, I had written that incident out of my memory and i would have forgotten it forever.... until YOU HAD TO BRING IT BACK UP. you want to know WHY i disagreed?

Well, I seriously doubt that you read all the way into the story. if you had, you would have seen the UNDENIABLE PROOF THAT MY OC IS NOT "perfect", AND THUS IS NOT A 'Stu'. he tries to be able to do everything to show how hard he is able to work, how much he can endure, and just how well he is able to protect as the Surface's Prince, the one whom guards the Mermaid Princesses and gives them his aid, but in the end, he always falls down and it takes him time to learn what he can and cannot do. he's trying to be a "jack of all trades", in retrospect, and not be perfect -- he knows well that is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve. Because, and I will be firm with you, I HATE 'Sue's'/'Stu's' AS WELL.


[what explains my idea to alter the story and pair him with Hanon at season 2's end is because given Hanon's nature and trope description of the girly girl that loves a strong and protective man older than her, Nagisa just does not fit with that in any amount (he's younger than her and his demeanor is childish at best), and it just comes off to me completely wrong when she eventually ends up with him -- to me, that 180º turn from her just does not make any sense, like she's defying her nature, perhaps because she's desperate for a love replacement, and Nagisa was the only one there during the second season to be able to approach. And in a sense, he IS -- it will turn out that my OC will have become corrupted by demons as punishment for interrupting, like, a satanic worshipers' seance thing; as a result of this possession, he is to slowly turn hateful and otherwise not be like how the girls know him to be. When the worst is present, he's threatening to turn pure evil, even worse than Michal.

The bottom line is, IF YOU DO IT RIGHT, OC x Canon Character CAN AND MAY VERY WELL WORK -- that is my belief. The way MMPPPP ends leaves me scratching my head as to how Hanon turned around like that for someone that obviously was not in her type of match-up for a partner -- I believed that I possessed an ability to give a more NATURAL partner for pairing with her, which is why I do what I do.

and for those that have read in-depth, the latest ones are SHOCKED at the detail I show and how far into the series (anime AND manga) I have researched and are very impressed. NOT ONE of my reviewers has said that my OC came off as a 'Stu' to him or her.]

So I don't know what to say, except that, to me, you haven't read far enough in to see my OC at the core. He isn't a 'Stu'. And I will maintain that.


[[And I'M SORRY, but my tolerance is GONE when I'm under severe stress and am also sick/in pain. Just.... please don't reply to this.]]

But I'm glad that you have agreed on me giving information on myself, at least. It was long overdue for me to do it.

1.- Yeah, Asperger is inside "Autism scale", but IT'S REALLY DIFFERENT comparated with Autism.
And you're using it as a excuse because you said something like "I have a bad memory and not-very-normal social life because of Asperger"
That's the reason because I HATE people who uses it as a fucking excuse for something. It makes me gone ashamed of myself :x

2.- I live from the past. :|
A people bitching me about a fan character and write over 9000 things about it isn't normal for me.
and I you don't think he's a Gary Stu, it's pretty good.
But, you have to respect my opinion, because I've respected yours. Maybe we don't have the same point of view (that's very common :D)

And don't worry, I understand you :D
When I'm stressed I don't have patience and I get paranoiac.
