Hmm I was pretty young when the yoyos were "popular" so I believe I did ask my parents to purchase me one. But then in like 2 weeks it died down :? I felt really stupid. I think that was my first instance were I drew the line with myself to not give in to standard conformicy.
I just hate it when I try not to care, and I buy, say I dunno this thing, and then I see all these people with this thing, and all my friends piss me off about how I'm trying to be "trendy" and such. It's really fucking annoying. I just bought the thing because I like it, and then they have to tease the hell out of me. Like I said, I just buy and watch what I like.
And this other friend I have is really a nutcase. Me and like 2 or three others started watching Chappelle's show like about the same time. We all thought it was going to be your basic "black comedian makes fun of white people" shows. But we were wrong (he kind of makes fun of everyone :)) So we started watching, and I told a few others to watch it, and a few others, and so and so forth. In a few weeks everyone is saying "Yeaaaahhh!" and "I'm Rick James, bitch!" So it's kind of annoying. My friend (nutcase) is even saying it. It was funny for a couple of times, but then it just got plain annoying. So my friend stops watching it. I'm like "why'd you stop watching?" and he gives me a answer like "oh I dunno because everyone is watching it now" (half the reason was that, the other was what my other friend told me that he couldn't steal the jokes anymore...go figure).
That is the problem with some people. They start doing a trend or something, and then when so many people do it they back out. I don't know what to call this. This same friend did this with a band I liked. He's all over it and 3 weeks later he dispises it. Almost like he's playing games with us. But I know he's not. I know quite a few others who do this to. It's really disgusting.
If I like something I'm not going to turn away because of others.[/b]

So if you liked a pink shirt and bought it and your everybody said it was gay you would still wear it.
-
Why wouldn't I? Who cares if they call me gay? Besides, associating a color with sexual preferences is just ignorant.
By the way...you have almost 400 posts and you joined 18-19 days ago? That's fucking insane....

I like being active in the forums. I don't like being called a post whore. I just like participating in the forums. Plus its all i have to do other than swim this summer. I won't have any posts July 17 thru July 25, i will be in florida.

That's what I mean, Joseph, when I am saying that we must rise above it all. Do whatever you want, whether others like it or not. You see, what your friend is doing is also a trend: to do the opposite of trends to show your originality and free spirit. But opposing a trend is not real freedom, as you are still forced to do the opposite...
Only way to be as free as it is possible with the boundaries we must follow is to do as we wish without caring about what others do/think/say. Do as you wish, reject what you want and accept what you like. Let all that truly does not matter slide....
-
Exactly. That's why I fell almost all of those people are contradictions in themselves. Sure, some are totally different (I dunno, go walking around in winter with speedos and growing a 10 foot mustache), but for the most part, it gets me aggravated by what they refer to as "different".
If you really want to be different, work on your personality. Get an education. Do something for the world. Make your personalty stand out among the billions. Wearing a t-shirt isn't going to do that for you.
-
My suggestion is that if you want to be different than everybody else, its simple: Stop trying to be different...
That will no doubt make you different from all of the people in the world that wish to establish and show their individuality...
-
So your saying don't try to be different just do what you like to do and don't care what others think or say about you. Right :?:
-
I believe that's what me and Truthbearer have come to the conclusion on after a couple of intellectual posts. :)
-
Well those are my basic guidelines when buying something.
-
oh well, I guess this is the end of this disscusion.
By the way, I found a very lovely new girl to spend my days with.

-
Well I'm no blabber mouth or a kiss and tell person. But I'm very happy with her, but just to think that one wrong move and I'm back to the situation of losing another beautiful soul. Man it hurts. :cry: And it now sucks because I have to watch out that I dont get in too deep or else I fall HARD. But doing this I sacrafice a wonderful time and great advantages to being close. AHHHHH CRAAAAPPPPP!!!!!!! :ohyahbaby:

This is why the 1920s rocked so much. If the woman leaves you, smack 'er around a few times....but don't be too chauvinistic. ;)
Just kidding. You just have to relax a little.

Well now, let me tell you a story....
My sister right now is in the GAPP (German American Partnership Program), it's an exchange student program, and in April, this year, we had our German exchange student come. Well, I went out of my way many many times to spend time with her, as I like her more than any girl I've ever met, so you can safely assume that I truly love her. But anyway when April 24th came around and it was time for her to leave, I was VERY VERY sad, possibly angry that she had to leave. But she had to leave, and she did, it hurts, really, really, bad, so I can relate to ya. It still hurts to this day. Just don't let that bring you down. That's the worst thing you can ever let happen in that situation.
-
Man, that does suck. Did the girl respond and, actually like you though? Or was it just one sided? Did you confess anything to her?
Do tell.

I had a similar experience...
Shortly after a bad break-up, I met a girl that I shortly, you could say, fell in love with. She was a much better person that I deserved, and I thanked whatever supernatural force brought us together daily. Then, "family business" forced her to move to New York City (I live in Denver). I constantly struggled to not get too depressed. To enjoy the time we had.
But the day came when she had to leave, and all too soon she was gone, probably forever. All the emotion that I had been holding back suddenly broke loose: fear, anger, even despair dumped out on me. That night, I didn't sleep more than 2 hours. But I had a dream, a strange one, where the whole time I just fell, down, down, down, trying to reach the bottom.
Then I did. And woke up.
The next day I felt better. Still sad, but better. Of course, the girl, Ali (Alexandra) and I talked on the phone, but obviously it wasn't the same. She was gone.
But after a while I realized that I had never been more happy IN MY LIFE than I was when I was with Ali.
Moral of the story: better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
And there's always going to be someone else out there...

I just wanted to post a strange dream I had about my girl last night.
This isn't the dream yet: I recently drew a picture of me and her together looking all happy and stuff. I gave it to her and she kept it with a letter I wrote to her some time ago.
My dream: I'm walking in a room and I see a table with some papers on the corner of it. I walk to it and I notice and realize that its the drawing I gave my girl. I thought she must have forgoten it. but as I look again at it, its a friends face on it enstead of mine. I know that she talks to him and he likes her but these drawings seems to be set up for me to find them and look at them. I felt has if I was being attacked be these drawings showing my girl and him together as a look from one to the other. I thought to myself if my girl had showed him the picture that I drew of us together and he made a counterpart by drawing one of his own and trying to scare me. But the dream ends and I realize that it was only a dream, but it seemed so real.
Why would I dream of something like this? I dont have any anger or know if my friend his mad at me? Is my councious unsure or what? :hrm:
-
well you're probably afraid of losing her?
-
Yeah... Perhaps you're slightly insecure? I dunno. Dreams work in mysterious ways...
-
WOW IZ! I've completely missed this post. And it's been going on for, what, about 3 weeks now?? I need to hang in the Lounge more often.
Anyway, I'm glad you're still with us my dear. :)
It does sound like you are a touch paranoid about losing your girl. About your friend, I guess it's possible that your subconscious is wondering about your friend's loyalty, BUT before you think that, understand that dreams aren't always that black & white. It's possible that your brain just needed a male image to be the antagonist in your dream.
I'm no expert, mind you. Those are just my opinions. I do hope it helps and I wish you and your girl much happiness!! :)

Thanks, its good to know that someone cares for my presence.
But I'm a quiet person, more like a shodow, who will only speak when something come to his mind. You might not see much of me, but I'm around. :peek:
-
I've had dreams like that before. I think it's mainly that when you're in a relasionship (or a good one, at least) you don't want it to end and so there's a part of you that is in constant fear of it ending. So, that part of you expresses itself in the dream.
-
Still having strange dreams about her. This website should have an official interpretor for some dream cases that can tell you the meaning of certain dreams.
