I just don't have a drive for anything i used to like anymore :/ The work-outs, the comics, the schoolwork-nothing. Doesn't sound like much but that's kind of all i did. I dunno if i'm just lazy as hell or if something else is going on. I've been told its a symptom of depression but i honestly dont feel down :/
I'll be 20 this year too… …damn i cant even turn to bars yet.
a '90 model ah? Well Had my 20th birthday last friday. Was stuck in Germany though, away from all my friends and family… still was an okay bday even for that :P
*edit* I know that feeling. Had it few years back. But it went away with time …
Just tried to upload a new NH page, I was all happy that DD worked again and all… I open photoshop and after two seconds I get a message that it doesn't respond and BAH BLAH BLAH…
Damn Adobe! DAMN YOU!
———————————
Went to Germany today, bought myself a shitload of CD´s and stuff. It´s way cheaper in germany, which doesn´t make any sense since I live like… ehm… 40 KM from the border. I found a kickass Deathnote shirt too! And Some spideyjammies in my size! And a hulk shirt! And three Assassin´s creed shirts! And then I ran out of money! Yay!
Today, my parents sat me down to talk with me. Apparently they are worried that since I don't go out and party like every other teenager, or really go that many places.
Which is because I don't really like all that many people (but I do have a significant number of friends, just not many of them I'd actually hang with), and because I don't do drugs/alcohol. Which pretty much is all that goes down at parties (or so I've heard).
Then my dad started talking to me about regrets that I'll have when I'm older.
I have like, less than 7 months to be a teenager. fffffffffffffffffffffffff
Ho-ho-hold up. They're concerned about you not getting totally wasted because everyone else is? I'm not sure if my logic is working properly, but isn't avoiding binging on alcohol and acting irresponsibly a good thing?

Different strokes for different blokes.
Yeah, pretty much. They think that because I'm not like every other teenager, that I'm going to regret it when I'm older. And they don't mean just partying, they mean going out with friends in general.
It's mostly because I just like to keep to myself most of the time. I'm just too mature for my age. I guess.
I think its the old "He must be masturbatin' up there, that boy ain't right." thing your parents are going through. My mum got a book in the face 2 years ago when she burst into my room and told me to stop playing with myself and go outside. Fortunatly it hasnt happened in ages due to the fact that she can see what im ACTUALLY doing now due to the smaller house.
SERIOUSLY! Wtf is wrong with parents thats all they can assume.

Yeah, my parents are also better at being teenagers than I am.
My mom was really popular with boys when she was my age and thinks I should be too. So far I have only had one boyfriend, a string of rejections, and a current love interest who she's really pushing me to be more forward with even though it really makes me anxiety ridden to have to call him and flirt the way she wants me to. She doesn't quite get why I don't put myself out there more and doesn't see why I don't hang out with people who are more like her rather than the academic types. I think sometimes parents try to fix the things they regret about their own lives though their children. They're doing it out of love, which is what really matters.
Not that I haven't been confronted with that sort of thing. I go out, dances and a party here and there, but I don't drink or do drugs and I don't really hang out with people who do. Even last Friday, a bunch of adults came up to my friends and I and gave us a pack of beer cause they had some left over. We didn't even touch it and my mom was like "You guys are boring! Me and my friends would have!" Weird.
My ex started getting into alcohol and pot and it eventually was the breaking point where I dumped him (granted, he was also mildly insane and a whiny-ass, but it was the last straw.) Maybe it doesn't end this way for all people, but since I stopped talking to him, he's dropped all his AP classes and possibly isn't even going to college now. Has a band. And a wife. He's 18. That whole culture of living isn't even worth it, so I wouldn't feel bad. :P
I wouldnt promote drug use but aslong as its not excessive over use weed is probibly not that bad a drug. It tends to be the retards that over use it and get proud of themselves for it. Iexperamented and now i think im more experienced. I now know that i dont wanna go the the damn shop and buy munchies for 3 half concious people at 3 am so its a better idea not to join in and smoke weed with them.
Also a wife at 18??? What the hell?
Also flirting is stupid. Just like to quote my feelings. No sain guy finds flirting attractive. Seeming like a whore is not an wanted quality. You'd need to be more forward emotion wise. Talk to them one to one. If a girl did that to me id have more of a chance liking her. Otherwise flirting might seem like theyre being mocked.
I get the feeling that some parents are uncomfortable about their own kids being morally better than them. I'll admit that I'm not totally sure about that since as a teenager my mother attempted the whole "lock my child in the closet and never expose them to the evil world" routine. More likely however might the idea that you're not enjoying your life as they did when they were your age. I bet their stories about the things they did as teens are very interesting. My teen years? Not so much. Never went out to parties or had many friends. Spent most of my high school years watching everyone else have fun…

He used to say that a lot, and It's true for some people, but keeping in mind that he was possibly bipolar and dealing with a divorce, I don't think it was one of his better ideas to start recreational drug use. It's different if you're just doing it at a party or something, but actually buying it and hanging out with drug dealers is a whole different story. It became a ploy to get back at his parents and he once called me high to upset me.
Also a wife at 18??? What the hell?
Insecurity, I think. He tried to make me pledge to him that I would marry him one day over the phone and that I had intentions on being with him forever (bad call for him, because I get awful sarcastic when people try to impose their ideas on me.) He needed to feel like there was a barrier there to keep her from leaving him like me and his other ex did.

Yeah, I feel when people are really outward about it, it comes off more creepy than alluring. Some of my friends think that out right making fun and being mean to someone is a good way to flirt. That or being really handsy. Doesn't seem to have worked for them yet, most guys just see them as a possible screw. I'm not a fan of being seen that way, which leads me to be "one of the guys" more often than not but dammit, I'd rather that than always wondering if a guy's just going out with me to see how far he gets. :/

You probably hit the nail on the head with that one. It's like we live on two different planets. My mom and I kinda got in a little spat because she wanted me to be planning a spring party when I was trying to prepare my essay prompt to get into an AP class (which I made, btw! ^_^)
I just did weed for the relaxing and comical effects. It actually makes frasier funny lol!. But apart from that if youre already unstable its a bad move. Youre better telling the guy you like before the friend zone kicks in. Dont end up regreting it. But good luck anyway. I hope it works out.

Congratulations on that! Anyways, I'd just explain to your mother that you're simply securing your own future, and once that's done you can party as much as you want. :)
Yeesh… teens and even kids these days always doing something to get themselves high. Sniffing freshly laid asphalt, licking poison frogs, and now… choking. Cutting off the arteries in their necks for a quick "high". Unfortunately some friends just don't know when to let go and now we've got kids dying left and right. I'm sure it's been going on for a long while, though… worst case I've heard of though was a guy whose body was falling apart because he couldn't stop exercising; he was addicted to his own adrenaline. I wonder if he's still alive… (read about this in the early 90's or late 80's…)

flirting is seeming like a whore? back in my day, that's not what flirting was! flirting was playful banter. quick witted phrases and the like. batting eyes, and the awkward smile. oh those were the days.
in high school (minus a year and a half of that) i was the confident yet shy guy. confident in myself, but not really open to others. treated others with respect and was respected. My mother had been told how to live. and she let me make my own decisions. She supported me 100% as long as i was sure, i was doing the right thing.
My family was massive into drugs. i saw first hand, almost every possible result of that, from the "it never affected me in any bad way" to some spending years in prison. i chose not to interact with that aspect taking on the more widely accepted alcohol, which i think has kept me from going crazy in college. (not really binge drinking until i thought my wife was leaving me. then let the good times roll i said~!!)
i find myself very lucky to have a mother that i did. i hear others who the only thing different were controlling parents, and they ended worse off than i did. ———————-
speaking of parents, it's been 7 years since my father died. (today's the anniversary of me finding out) and i didn't think about it until just now. before i head off to bed. every year it gets further away…

What the hell? Either i'm grossly misinformed on how girls are flirting these days or that guy is a colossal aspie idiot.

I only just met him so we're still sorta in "you're an enigma to me" mode, lol. He's a little different though because I'm the first real female who's made an attempt to come to him. His mother kinda hand picked me. Weeirddd. ._.
Congratulations on that! Anyways, I'd just explain to your mother that you're simply securing your own future, and once that's done you can party as much as you want.
Thanks! She understands, I think. She just worries that I'm thinking about the future so much that I'm going to miss being a teenager, but I don't really -like- being a teenager as it is. We're so dramatic. Personally, I'd rather stay at home and draw. It's just my preference. xD

It's different I think, that's really how things should be when it comes to flirting. That's the way I get it done, anyway. Apparently I'm just very bad at it. People are a lot more forward anymore and think you have to come off as sexy as opposed to likable and it makes things way confusing. But it's not very "sexy" at all. It's just really mad awks. Especially when another person is sitting -right there-… That's my experience with it anyway. It could be totally different with other people.
What the hell? Either i'm grossly misinformed on how girls are flirting these days or that guy is a colossal aspie idiot.
We'll im sorry but it just doesnt really appeal to me. Maybe its just the way people are in this country. Maybe im missing the point completely.
Whoops i thought she was talking about some guy she knew irl. That's fine and all, but calling someone a whore for flirting is just.. beyond not getting it and pretty mean. (or again i'm misinformed and the girls are doing she like sack rubbing and god knows what)
I much prefer not being a teen. I can't understand those sad old bastards that want to relive their teenage years… You see that in so many American TV shows and movies- Adults trying to relive teen years and high-school etc. There's so MUCH fiction dedicated to that genre, it's probably bigger than the whole SciFi and fantasy genres combined. WTF? O__O
That reminds me of that fat-faced 45 year old guy with long hair that thinks he's a vampire… He's a republican running for office and he only dates young teen girls between 16 and 19 years of age. so funny lol! - his daughter happens to be 19 too…
I can't understand those sad old bastards that want to relive their teenage years…
Just wait 'til you become one of us, Ozone… hehehe…
Unfortunately, I'm in the position of understanding why they'd want to do that…
Flirting… I don't flirt. Well, not knowingly. Saw the result of that one time. Guy makes a move on a girl, he gets beaten up by 20 friends of the guy who's competing with him for her attention… (and she still didn't like that other guy)…
Ah… I guess I spent too much of my high school years watching everyone else…
My experience so far has always been that it's going to happen if it's going to happen. Flirting really should be just joking around. It's what shows off your brains. Of course, you also have to be careful not to be that way to everyone. Eventually people get so used to you being a smart ass that they ignore it when you're trying to flirt and you just end up coming across creepy.
Then again, I'm glad to stay single until I'm out of school. I made the mistake of getting in too deep too fast once and it wound up seriously biting me on the ass. As much fun as girls are, they're distracting.
Ugh… still can't sleep, and I have someplace to go in about three hours. Oh, well… I'll just fire up my Wii, play Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility, and name all of my chickens after my fellow Drunkduckers…. except the forum Admins. I'll reserve those names for my horses. :)
No silkworms or ostriches. Don't even know why they're in the game, or why I'd ever need them. All I really need are cows, chickens, and horses. :)

I don't think Ozoneocean is a good name for a horse… 4 syllables! Too complex O_o Horses should have easy names. I remember some of the horses I learned to ride on-
There was Sunray… He was a robust little fellow of Welsh pit pony stock. A strawberry roan, with red shaggy fur with a yellow mane and tail. He was also a mean and nasty, clever scheming, spiteful beast. But I liked him anyway.
There was Rebel- He was a big, big tall paint, with splodges of brown and white all over him. He wasn't a very clever horse… His one scheming trick was to step very lightly and carefully on your foot and then slowly let down his full weight on it, so you didn't notice until the big bugger was squishing you. He also had a very embarrassing habit of attacking small trees with his bottom… Mortifying in company when he'd suddenly start backing over the nearest sampling furiously going after his sudden butt-itch. T_T
I also remember Dion- Dion was a massive bull of a creature; a tall, muscular, beefy white horse. Big and strong. He was friendly and kind, very patient, pretty smart, and the comfiest ride ever! With some horses it's like trying to ride a picket fence, with Dion it was like riding on a well stuffed couch- not because he was chubby, he just flowed perfectly when he moved, like a cat. Sitting trot on him as great and his canter was just amazing.
Yeah… so horses… Short names sound better. :) I've nothing to do at work right now T_T
Heheh… I'm not going to name a milk generating cow "OzoneOcean". That's just… unnatural, I think. The name "Skoolmunkee" could apply to the one monkey in the game. Except that monkey is a gorilla. O_O
Starting the game is hard. The tutorial first, then the first plantings, weedings, getting free tools, etc… And fishing junk out of the river (really… why do people keep throwing their old rubber boots into the water?!?) I bet I'd catch a lot more fish if I just concentrated on catching boots, though… Oh, well… at least I don't have to worry about the amount of sun and water the plants get like I had to in the Island of Happiness…
