Everything's frozen over today. It's neat. Sucks that this week's lab is canceled though.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

The grocery stores were hell yesterday. Stupid Texans.

Grocery stores are always hell, especially if you have to go in *shudder* a Wal-Mart.

I've never grocery shopped at wal-mart, but they seem like a poor man's shaws.

Depends where in Texas the wal-mart is, really. Small town ones that are hilariously out-dated in terms of styling tend to be pretty easy to get through.

I suggest that you stop what it is that you're doing that causes these "misunderstandings", Asherian. Stop it immediately.


Indeed. If something happens more than once, more than likely it's not being caused by other people.


The teenage variety has a need to feel victimized, its possible he's doing something wrong, but its also possible they're just being typical. We live in a 'poor me im so hurt and helpless' society that doesn't take responsibility for gak. I was once accused of stalking someone I didn't even know and another time for someone I hadn't contacted in 4 months.

I've never had a problem shopping at wal-mart grocery stores... then again they aren't very busy at 3am. I'll deal with the boxes and carts everywhere before I deal with the mob.

You probally don't get people replying because you come off as very big headed with stuff like this.

Maybe stop telling us how great you are.

No i just score very very high when it came to speech. I legitamately have a paper that says I am officially a speaker.

But yes I stopped immediately gave up on it immediately, I think she is still being stalked. But not by me, haven't even gotten near her in like 1 month. Anyway thats all i can unveil for the story.

Being good at public speaking does not make you a professional speaker. The word professional implies that you are paid for your services.

Taking into consideration the fact that you are only 16, I doubt you are a paid speaker.

Another factor that leads me to believe that you are not a professional speaker, or at least that your prowess at public speaking is not all that you make it out to be, is the fact that I have yet to read a post of yours that was not riddled with gross grammatical errors.


No i just score very very high when it came to speech.


Tense confusion.
"Score" is in the present tense; "came" is in the past.
If you stick with "came" you need to change "score" to "scored". Likewise, if you keep "score" you must change "came" to "comes".

Not a mistake an individual with above average speaking skills is likely to make.

You also need to throw in a comma between "No" and "I". The latter of which you neglected to capitalize.

People will respond to your posts if you spend a little more effort putting them together.

Mate this is the Internet I do not care how I spell stuff but I suck at grammar and spelling on paper. But not when I speak that is a different matter entirely. Its not like I am some idiot, bragging about things he does not rightful deserve to wear and such.
Just to tell you I do not like bragging as most guys at my school do. And I don't because I do not want to brag. But seriously its kinda hard when your the person who is left out in a group and not given a decisions due to a mistake that happened years upon years ago. Of course the group has made more mistakes than I have made in my entire life. I wish sometimes both genders would Shut up and just listen to people who might be able to make wiser decisions than a 14-15 year old who has no experience in any of the things that are happening.

This is good for college students, no? I may not have a legion of weiner dogs, but until then, I'll need something else to focus my attention on as the dachshundkirieg draws closer...

How dramatic. You can't expect sympathy unless you give us a clue as to any injustice towards your situation, it could be well deserved for all we know.

For example, during jr. high, I got picked on a lot. However, looking back, I realize I was a massive donkey-cave who probably deserved a good portion of that.

I certainly couldn't care less what some sixteen year old with bad grammar and spelling thinks. I have to deal with enough of those any time I play an FPS game.

Yes drama = fail. As teens always make it dramatic. but no I don't try and make it dramatic scene from lets say Romeo and Juliet or the Hamlet, or any Shakespearean play.
An example of what i might help in is when the group decides to get back at someone, one of them suggests beating the kid to a pulp. I get in and say. "That is no way in order to deal with anyone, violence is not a key thing and I suggest -"
Then someone interrupts me and tells me that the bastard deserves it and my opinion no longer counts.
I then went on to sit down quietly as noone wanted to hear any of my opinions.
