The fact that the only computer in my house has died. Normally this'd be a good thing, because then my parents would be qforced to buy a shiny new PC, but not for a month. :(

My computer hasn't died but my parents decided to do a system restore on it, they backed up the data and now it's up to me to restore it because I do ICT at college -_- I can't get it to work now and im feeling quite stressed about it plus I needed to complete college work for Monday and I cant find the disc for the office package so looks like I'm going to have a good week.
 
I woke up and I'm SO sore. My back is sore, my left hand has a huge blister in the middle of it, my throat hurts, my neck is sore, my jaw is sore for whatever reason and its an annoyance to even get up and move around.

What have you been doing?

That is part of the problem. I am myself and no one can really appreciate it. The thing is that when I am around people they seem fine, but when I do something like, ask to go to their house or visit them in town or something they really don't like the idea, though they'd do that with other people. That then drove me into just being a bit anti social, they DO know this but they seem to not like the idea of me not asking or anything. :odd: Like they want people to offer but they'll never accept. Any "friends" I have just violently stab me in the back (not literally).

It was not until I was 17 that I ever, ever began to come out of my shell

Prior to this, I didn't even have anybody to stab me in the back. So quiet, so reclusive, so unpopular. But now, looking back, none of that mattered. The 2-3 friends I did have and speak to frequently were the only people who mattered. Even now, I rarely get invited to do things but I don't care, I do what I want with whom I want. Anybody who tries to fob me off clearly isn't worth my time.

And anybody who tries to fob you off, is certainly not worth your time. I'll give you some familiar words;

The man
So understand, don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years. Face up, make your stand, and realise you're living in the golden years

I implore you, don't worry about people who aren't worth your time and not worth the effort. I really regret wasting my mid-teens trying to fit in. It's the quality of the people you know, and this may be just 2-3 people who are really good to you and to whom you are also really good.
 
The fact that the people across the road are setting off fireworks. My birthday hasn't started yet, stop celebrating! :sly: :lol: (I know, I know, they're for Chinese New Year...)

How did you get to the shop in the first place then?

He got there OK, but at the shop he was brainwashed by aliens. Probably...

Nah. He was coming out of the shop reading a magazine and didn't notice that he walked onto a roundabout in a kid's play park. After thirty minutes of spinning around, blissfully unaware of the situation he was in, he somehow made it off the roundabout and kept walking, albeit in a very dizzy manner and in no particular direction.

By the time his vision stopped spinning, he looked up from the magazine and realized that he was on Monkey Island.

It's funny how all of the sane people are on both the Gear Grinder thread and the Gear oiler thread

Of course it's quality not quantity. This really advice, though I don't fit in, and I accept that but it gets annoying when the few people who used to be such good friends turn into something disrespectful. Last year I only really had two proper friends, unfortunately one is going to another school this year, so that halves it. The other one is sort of moody. One day he's normal, and a friend, the next he's angry and hates everyone. I think it's just the age or that I'm just not changing and everyone else is. Which if the later option is the case then there's not stopping it. I've been taught to not let other people make me hide who I am, and I've stuck to it. It just seems no one else shares the same interests, or sticks roughly to my beliefs.

My beliefs are just.

No alcohol (it's okay for anyone to drink it but getting drunk is silly).
No drugs (The most silly of all things stupid).
No smoking (Don't want second hand OR first hand smoke, I'm a vocalist that doesn't want smoke to wreck their voice).
The rest of my beliefs stick to that sort of things, they're less beliefs but rules. I had a friend that I had 95% trust in. Mid last year he decided to take up smoking for about 2 days... I still haven't recovered that trust, if anything, now I don't trust anyone. The only people I can actually get along with without them getting annoyed the next day or back stabbing, are people on the internet. On this site as a matter of fact. Just goes to show, that in this world there are about... ...

10-20 or so people that are like friends but they are all far away. May it be 40 KM, or half way around the world. (If I said three quarters around the world the it's actually just quarter way around the world in the other direction :P)

And lastly, I apologise to any person looking for gear Grinding in the post rather than "Silly Teenage boy who is going on and on about how their life is going down a hill to Mad McMad who just won the Master of Mad Men Competition.
 
Hey, there's nothing wrong with being straight edge. It's an admirable quality and I'm very much a 'soft bastard', as people call me, because I:

-have never smoked
-have never gone anywhere near any illegal substances
-have never been in trouble with the police or anything

I pretty much never drink either. I've been drunk 4 times in my life and all of those were in 2011. I allow/have allowed myself to drink on my own birthdays, or on very special occasions becasue I find alcohol totally abominable. I have tried several types and it all tastes disgusting and I get absolutely no pleasure out of it. Being drunk however, is quite fun to be honest.

None of this stops me from letting my hair down, (literally!), and having some right laughs. Life's what you make it. You can only be yourself. It's as simple as that.

There's nothing wrong with talking about your feelings, whether in reality or on the internet. That's what a forum like this is for; we're generally useful, helpful people who have a laugh despite our different backgrounds and locations, which is a marvellous achievement.
 
Yeah, this forum is aaawwesooome :sly:, but more important matters have hit this nuthouse!!!

THERE ARE BRAS!!!! COVERING THE TABLE!!!! I have to eat of that!! And I walk out there, and it's covered with bras!!! WHERE AM I GOING TO EAT!!!? :scared: BRAS!!!! :yuck: TABLE!!!! :mad: :(
