LIFE...

 

Okay since I left a LOT, and I mean a LOT, has happened to me.  Firstly, I had to adapt from being a homeschooler to a boarding school student.  Secondly, I had to find out what it was like to be around people and have "friends".  Thirdly, I fell in love and got my heart broken so many times by the same guy and hate myself.  So yeah...  That's what life is like for me now...  Just wanted to say...  And has anyone gone through something like this...?

Oh yeah and my nickname is now Gandhi...  I have a lot of stories to tell...  Hint, hint...

Why are you at boarding school now?

 

No, I've never had my heart broken my someone, but there is a person I secretly like, sort of.

 

So do you have "friends" now?

Ooooh. Byrynne, let's hear it...!! Who what when where why? ;D

And yeah, I have "friends" now but you know...  I still don't have a really good friend...  One of my better "friends" here is going out with the guy I still love somehow, and guess what?  I'm helping them stay together now!!  It hurts so much but I feel it's what I should do...  Love is so overrated... Undecided

Wow, boarding school.

 

No, I haven't had an experience like that... Though I've gone through several girlish crushes before.

Trixy! *glomp*

The homeschool to public school transition may be hard, dunno if it's any different than boarding school (I'd imagine so).

Awww, don't hate yourself! *hugs* *gives virtual choklit and a pie*

And I do so love a good story. *sits attentively on pillow*

Welcome back!

So glad you're back, Trixy! Care to explain the nicknames (hint, hint)? So how are you liking boarding school overall? Is it what you expected? Better? Worse? I only know one person who goes to boarding school, and I haven't talked to her in years.

Hi. That sounds sad... but I'd love a story, not to sound insensitive.

Hiya Trixy!! Welcome back! And don't hate yourself. You're awesome. :)

Oooo, boarding school. Interesting. The transition must've been hard, yes. *sympathy*

*hinthint* Can we hear the story(ies?)? Please? ;)

Again, welcome back! :)

Ah, I know what you mean about falling in love and getting your heart broken. I really like this guy, and sometimes he'll just go on and on about a crush that he has, and it's not me, of course. And he acts like he likes me! Like, we have a homeschool group every Friday morning. He'll sit next to me in geography class, and show off and junk. But then he goes on and on about one of his crushes. It's not fair. So like, once he was doing that and he said, 'She's really nice.' And I, stupidly, said, 'Unlike me,' cuz I tease him, etc., a lot. Then a gasped, softly, and said to myself, 'Did I just say that?' And then he said, 'What?' And it now occurs to me that he was saying it kind of incredulously, like, Did she just say that? I think he definitely knows I like him. And once, I was trying to twist his wrist around, cuz he was being a pill, and he said to one of his friends that was standing right there, 'Gross, she's holding my hand!' So it's almost like he's trying to make it seem like he doesn't have a crush on me. What do you think?

Heya! I know what you mean about not having a really good friend. I have one semi-good friend and that's all. And I've never had a really close friend. Besides yall, but you being online people, I guess I don't count you. No offense. :P Hating yourself isn't gonna get you anywhere, though, girl. Nice guy or no, it sure sounds like you are doing the better thing by trying to make yourself let go of him. *offers lemon pie with swirly whipped cream on top* *throws it in Trixy's face when Trixy won't take it cause she's crying* *runs for her life from an angry Trixy* Yeah. . . .

Trixy fell in love?

Trixy, is this really you?  It's been so long, and you seem so different... 

Do you even remember me?

Sorry if I seemed a bit cold, this is all so strange.  I was so afraid you were gone forever.  So I'm kinda afraid of getting too attached again....  Can you tell us the reason for boarding school, or is that private?  It's so weird.  Trixy, who was the leader of all our debates!  Didn't you do a lot of unschooling, like me?  That must have been a HUGE change.  Is it hard?  I'm so glad you have friends too, I know that was one thing you were often upset about, like me.

I'm truly glad you are back, you have no idea how much I missed you.

I can't imagine living at school...  I mean school [drama] is bad enough anyway, but living there...?  :( So where do you actually live (like in a dorm room sort of thing?)?  If so, then do you have to share your room with somebuggy??
Aaaand.  If you've fallen in love and had your heart broken so many times by this same guy, don't hate yourself.  Seriously, if he's cruel enough to break the same person's heart multiple times, don't feel bad.  He's probably pretty lame (especially if he did that to you).  But if you still love him, then I guess there must be something about him that's worth liking.  But, yes, I understand. 
Have I gone through something like this?  Well, I've never been to boarding school...!  But having my heart broken??  Well, I can relate to that...
Oooooh, oooh, I get the hint!!!  Tell us stories!! *gives puppy eyes* Pweeeeease?
