just be yourself. Those who still aren't your friend don't deserve your company in the first place.
When bg2 was in his heyday, it seems, we've learned that he is circumsized and has a preoccupation with Joshua Kobak. (Amen to CB sources!)
Anyhoo, I love these threads too. I come on the OT board much more often than the on-topic board! (And I must say now that Anthony is probably through with that thread, I'll be on there even less now!)
Som - from someone who was in your position, first, what you need to do is find some worth in your life away from being reliant on what a few SH*Ts at school think about you. This way, even if things don't work out withthem, you'll have some real people (as opposed to us imaginary friends) to give you some meaning.

It's like... they're all so into their own lives that I can't be a part of if. No one really takes the time to talk beyond their obligation.

'Night.
And I try, I do try... but I have yet to make friends beyond you fictitious folks on my monitor.

Well we're not fictitious, just--umm--cyber-ific???
Gnight loves.
take part, Eb! we need a guy perspective!

By take part are you asking him to stay or saying goodbye?
And where's Delphie? Still reading bg2's comments?
First what you need to do is finding meaning to your life beyond us fictitious creatures on your computer. And you do that by volunteering. You think I'm kidding, and you're thinking you'll never do it, but hear me out. I'm lazy and selfish and fairly wealthy. Poor people? Blech. Or so I thought.
But when I did my IB volunteer hours in the skid row of Vancouver and helped feed them and talk to them - you change their lives! It gives you this validation you never thought you'd ever feel. And it puts things in perspective. Who cares what a bunch of punks at school think - you've literally changed the way someone lives their lives when you help out the ones who need it most.
And I ain't no Christian, or part of any bible thumping group. I did it out of my own desire (and the necessity to complete IB hours), and it was amazing.

Hm. But don't I need people to volunteer with? I'm very awkward when I don't know anyone.
I'm gonna find my purpose...
I miss Guido. Not on topic, but I do.
I'm back, folks. Sorry for being gone so long- my pooter shut down.
That's what I'm saying! You need to find your purpose!
And I miss Guido too. He's got his own issues to deal with for now, though. (Like his sick computer!)
Ug. I wish I had something to say, some good advice. Volunteering= good. Volunteering/interning somewhere that really interests you= fabulous.
My pearls of wisdom for tonight, ladies.

Remember when I said I was going to sleep? Well now I mean it! gnight!

I'm kinda worried about Guido. He said it was computer issues, but still...
Delphie, pooter sounds like a very dirty word. It makes me laugh.
I will find my F*CKing purpose! I have to. But what could it be?
Pooter. It reminds me of a dog. Oh well. We all have different views, I suppose.
Nia, do you ever venture into the world of paint and canvas, or poetry/writing? (Did that sound cheesy or what? Feel free to not answer the latter question, please.)
Didn't I cover the "pooter" thing too? Wow, what parallel universe is this? I'm getting flamed, Ak says pooper, ebonic's leaving us (not a surprise), and everyone's taking up my phrases?!
I've ALWAYS used the term "pooter". It's my family's thing.

Delphie- yes, yes and yes. I'm a jack-of-all-trades, art wise and I used to be quite a writer. But lately... I just haven't been able to. I'm going to try tommorrow, I'm feeling motivated to write for the first time in months.
Feh. It won't give your life any purpose.
Don't hit me! It won't!
Good to hear. I too am a writer and artist (those two are MY purposes- I'm destined to be poor) and am excited to be starting another painting on Sunday hopefully! *crosses fingers*
Geez, Tiff, trying to put me down. There are people who's professions are involved in the arts! *pout*

That's not what I meant, sweetie! What I mean is Som needs to find something in her life that's greater than merely what she's interested in and what she's good at. She needs to figure out that people need her.
