Your ranting station!

Here, you can say whatever's on your chest. There WILL BE NO JUDGMENT HERE, just a few rules and one suggestion.

1. No cussing. The Admins are good at trimming, but please give them a break and replace any bad words with various words that have no negative meaning except when used emphatically.

2. Don't tell anybody off. I don't want to see any 'Nobody cares' or stuff like that.

Suggestion: You don't have to use any anonymous name. If you feel like it, I'm not going to hold you back, but the main point of this thread is so that we can come around you and uplift you, and it's kinda hard to do if we don't know who we're doing this for.

Nihil says 'uwin'. I win what?

Adults seemed like big weirdoes, just big kids with more smarts and less social intelegences. About seventy five percent of adults I see are big weirdoes. I've heard that being weird is great, but if you slap an O on in, it goes to awful. Now once I started reading a book about a dictionary writer who stuffs food in her face to avoid a conversation, Yeesh that is kind of un-smart. 

Next, our library is a tech nook with a few books. And they let 5 year olds talk really loudly, where people are trying to read! I'm introverted and would like a quiet place to go, every week to get new books. The concerned library lovers should of campained their shepang here (Lemoncello books Olympics). 

There is a girl who is snoofly and kind of mean to younger ones. I'm not sure how to tell her that isn't right, and have her listen. I've gotten to know a younger one and he says that she's a bully. 

Also I hate to eat. Literaly. Chewing is a pain, and having to make it takes ten minutes. Then eating takes twenty minutes. It is so boring. I can't eat sweet stuff untill I've eaten something 'healthy'. Some advice please. 

There. Less snorkly. I don't know what to do with these issues.

Ok, here goes. I need some help. 

My group of friends, well former group of friends weren't the greatest. Two of the girls were like best best best friends ever and were excluding me and the other person in the group. Then we got into a big fight about it where I was blamed for a lot of things that I didn't do and everyone in the group hated me and ran away when I was near them and it made me feel terrible. Then we went to the school counselors and we talked and I'd thought we'd all made up. But apparantly one of the two best best best friends decided she didn't want to forgive me because before we talked ot the counselors I said I didn't really want to be part of the group because they made me feel bad. But she decided to hate me again and when I said at her table at lunch she made comments about how she wished I hadn't come to school. A few days later I texted her if we could talk and she responded "um" so a few days later I tried again and got an "uh". I asked her again if we chat like a week later and I got a text that said "stop harassing me". Was I harassing her? She never texted no we couldn't talk and at school she ran away or just acted like I wasn't that. Was I harassing her or was she just being overdramatic? I really need to know.

I for one think she was being really over dramatic. All you wanted was to talk over a misunderstanding, and she rejected you and blamed you for something you didn't mean to do or didn't do in the first place.

Now, I know it's not my place to really make your mind up for you or make any of you decisions, but if your friends are treating you like that I'd say you need new friends. :/

No. You weren't being overdramatic OR harrassing.

She's just being dumb.

I'm sorry...

*Hugs*

How do you get over someone you've known as a friend for a really, really, really long time?

MJ!! HI!! *Flying tackle hug* as for your question, I don't know. I can relate. None of my friends stick around for long. My absolute best friend (We're so close she calls me Bucky and I call her Cap) hasn't been around in a really long time, and I'm not sure she's coming back. My very first best friend moved away when I was really young. The best friends in between, I haven't seen since they left, and only recently did I get any way to contact people other than face to face. I still don't have my other friends' contacts.

Sorry, I got carried away there. My answer to you: Keep in touch. Other than that, I don't know. I've become so callous to loss because I've lost so many friends, plus I'm not an emotional person in general. But yeah, contact them every once in a while. Say hi. Ask them about the weather 'over there'.

 

Hmm. Wait. Did you mean they died? If they did I am so sorry. Talk to someone really close to you, like a different friend or a sibling or parent.

@MJ Time. Give yourself space and time, but when you feel ready to talk to them again, do it. I would know.

 

Can I go on a rant about a tv show? Like I know it's not super serious or anything but it's driving me nuts. So there's this show I started watching called Lost. Chances are that you've heard of it. Its mysterious and spooky and has all these questions and stuff, but there's this one really big problem that's just driving me nuts. There are no answers. It introduces so many questions and has all these really cool characters (not counting Jack, he's a bland piece of white tofu bread) but because of the way the show is structured it never answers any of the questions that show up. Like back in season 1 for example, I think it was episode 3 where this big old polar bear shows up on the tropical island where the show takes place. Weird right? So for a while, the show is all like Ooooh, spooky a polar what is it? what's it doing there? oooooh, spooookyyyy. But then it never answers the question it introduces. It just keeps it a mystery. I'm in the middle of season 2 (seasons are about 20 40-minute episodes long) and they still haven't answered it. In that time though, they've killed characters, introduced like 5 new characters, added A ************** LOVE TRIANGLE (I hate love triangles with burning passion irl or otherwise) and they still haven't answered why there's a freakin polar bear. I feel like the show is exploiting me at this point, making me sit through tons of filler and new plot elements in order to get my questions answered and it is FRUSTRATING. BEFORE YOU BUILD A GOLF COURSE TELL ME WHAT'S UP WITH MECHAGODZILLA! WHY IS THERE A MECHAGODZILLA? *pauses* *breathes*

Anyway. Lost is a good show, but I'm done with it. Fun while it lasted, but now it's just annoying.

Rant over. Waffleson out.

Ok, so I have this friend that I’ve known since I was about 3. I met her in dance class, and we’ve been dancing in the same class at the same studio ever since. We were always partners when we danced in class, and she is one of the few friends I have. I’ve known her longer than I have most of my friends. She is an AMAZING friend, kind, funny, all of the above. A few years ago, though, enter her BFF from school in our dance class. She’s a great friend too, though giggly, but eventually my friend (let’s call her “S”) was always partners with her (let’s call her A). If we were going in groups of three, I was often with them, but I was certainly a second choice. Well, eventually there were some newer, more popular, or better-liked girls in our class, and so S (who is probably most popular) had a whole arsenal of desirables to talk to about school (which I couldn’t because I’ve always been homeschooled), Life (which usually tied in with school), and people they knew (who, you guessed it, they met at school). So suddenly, S had her own group of girls who thought like her, were a lot like her, were the same height as her (so they got similar parts and got to sit together in dressing rooms. I was and still am tall for my age), and were always partners with her. Meanwhile, here I am with all my old friends dropping out and everyone newer (and there weren’t a lot) having their own friend groups. I don’t know if I was too quiet, too eccentric, too boring, not up-to-date enough, not as interesting, not as attractive, too distant, too shy, not as good a dancer, too mature or not mature enough, too clingy, too awkward, or what, but she’s grown distant, and yet she’s one of my only friends at dance. I don’t think I’m any of those things, but others might, and I really don’t know. I’m quite certain she isn’t doing this on purpose, but I’m still confused. It may be an out-of-sight-out-of-mind thing, but I think about her all the time, and miss her when she isn’t there. I’m not quite shy, but I’m certainly introverted and feel it would be awkward/embarrassing /rude/cliche/whiny to tell her how I feel. I often try to start a conversation, but I don’t see her much, and it’s hard to get her by herself. This not be a problem at all, and simply existential. I really don’t know, but I needed to get it out somewhere, and I would love your guys’ advice. She still talks to me when I talk to her, but not usually voluntarily. One of my favorite quotes is “the ones who truly love you are not those who see you every day, but those who look for you every day”. I don’t know who wrote/said it, but it’s certainly the story of my life. If you read all of this, I’m extremely grateful.
