If you were a paragraph of text, what would the paragraph say to describe itself?

I'm a lot of things, and I'll try to list some of them here. I am a cat lover, an Internet addict, a reader, a fantasy fan (particularly of Harry Potter), a devoted Yankee fan, a writer, and a scholar of American social history who aspires to a PhD. I am quiet and shy, but I have a quirky and sarcastic sense of humor. I am 20 years old and in a loving relationship with another aspie, and our relationship improves my life immeasurably. I'm not very good at socializing, even online, but I do enjoy the company of others on many occasions. I spend most of my time on the Internet, looking at stuff about the autism spectrum and civil rights, baseball, and fantasy.
