Ok, so seeing as we're Outcasts, I guess we must do some strange things. So here we can relate what weird, funny or plain stupid things we've done lately.
Right, at the moment I can't really think of what I've done lately. Hang on, I've got one. I started a thread for strange things, when I can't even give any examples myself...

I'd say that's a fairly strange thing to do, Arcanjo, but do you really think you can get away with that avatar? Not that I have anything against it, but some Mods might...

I wondered about that craziness. oh well. What kind of crazy Outcasty type things do I do? I don't know. I'm a very evil and unsocial person in real life. I draw books that I read in scenes with stick people. I have double jointed legs, so I can do all kinds of weird, contortionist type things with them. That's all I can think of right now. :rolleyes:

Now people are going to read this and wonder what we were talking about. You now have merely the Playboy Bunny, nothing wrong with that. So, people, we were talking about an av Arcanjo had before changing it back. There, that should be any confusion cleared up :rolleyes:

Ok, so I have a very good one to add :D
Today, me and the rest of my Higher English class went to see the film O, which is a modern day adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello. Anyway, that's not important, it's what happened on the mini-bus on the way back.
Me and 3 of my mates were sitting at the back of the bus. For the entire journey (about an hour) back, we sang. Yes, 15 and 16 year old boys singing on a mini-bus. Basically, we were singing old classics such as Puff The Magic Dragon, Jingle Bells and Bohemian Rhapsody. Anything we could think of really, that we knew the words to. We even sunk as low as Ten Green Bottles sitting on a wall...
We did get a few strange looks but most people didn't mind, infact, we started getting requests!
Now, beat that! ;)
Although, perhaps my reputation has been dented forever, and I will never be able to show my face here again :rolleyes:

Well, we gots a thread kind of like this at my other GOO, but it's called Stupid Moments, I think. Let me see here. We gots the time where my evil older sister told me to stand in front of this old mailbox full of wasps while she banged on it with a stick. I did. That was a stupid moment. Maybe the time where I trusted this old friend of mine to not hurt me when he said he wanted to show a karate trick. I gots a trick knee thanks to him. oh well. I probably have more. :rolleyes:

An odd thing I do is to ALWAYS sleep with some music on. I feel horrible if I go to sleep and there's no music.

I used to do that, but in the last few days I've found I've been so tired, I can't be bothered changing the cd, but because I'm so tired I nod off quickly...
Yay, what do you mean, your other GOO?

Oh, I just scare people. Period. I rather odd acting compared to them I supposed. But really, they're just boring people. I do all that odd "Ringer" stuff (if you read that thread or the other one that's like it...they're about LOTR things you do to show you are obsessed with it), as well as a few of my own. For example, I am now call the "Councelor" for no apparent reason. So I walk down the hall saying "I am the Councelor, tell me your problem!"
I probably do more, I jsut cant think of them. The ones up top (in my post) arent even that bad...ah. well.

I scare people a lot too. Most of the time I'll say exactly the thing that's on my mind, and I live in a place where conformity is a way of life. (Ick! Ahg! Barf!) Sometimes I skip down the hallways of my school. Sometimes I bust out in a song in the middle of class that I don't know half the words to. But every crazy thing I do is fun, and my motto in life is to have as much fun as you can! :D:D

Recently, me and my friend CC went to a funny convention thing for peer mediators (if you don't know, please don't ask) and during lunch we started something we called a rehab table. We would take turns standing up, saying a name (made up or someone you know) and saying a problem, like "hi, I'm Molly, and I bite my children" and everyone else was supposed to say "Hiiii Mollllyyyy" and the whole room was staring at us and we were laughing so hard, eventually people from other tables would come over so they could do it too, but we were funniest because we actually acted it out.

sorry about that, crazy CraigSmith dude. Yeah, this is my second guild of Outcasts. I'm starting them both out the same way, seeing how different they become. Yes, you are all part of a giant Outcast experiment! Wait. No, nevermind. That's too scary.
Creepy counselor thing, EverEve person! *hides* :rolleyes:
The HobbitGirl person reminded me of the crazy thing I do in halls. Well, not just in halls, but oh well. I walk too fast. I get annoyed with the superly slow people and weave all over the place, trying to get to where I gots to go. sorry about that. I don't knock anyone over. just impatient. *hides*
The Dragon person's thing isn't too crazy. Sounds like fun.

Hey, man, I do that too. Since I can't get road rage, because I can't drive, I get hall-rage.
My weird thing. Well, I think its pretty cool.
My little sister HATES Gollum. (I know, Yay, I know. She's miguided) She saw the old Hobbit cartoon when she was really little and it freaked her out. So I creep up behind her and whisper: "My Precioussssss" in her ear just to watch her jump and squeal. It sounds kinda mean, but she's 15, she ought to be over it by now. And then my Dad, also a Tolkien fan, pipes up, "Baggins! We hates it forever!" or "Its my birthday present, it is!" or some other creepy thing. My Dad is great at voices, too. Sounds just like the cartoon. Anyway, I think its funny.
Wolfshead
12-08-2002, 12:31 PM
Froggum, I think you should add 'liking the Bakshi cartoons' to your list of crazy things done ;) They are so unbelievably awful!
Froggum
12-08-2002, 04:11 PM
Please don't torment me for the errors of my youth. I was brought up on them. When you're four years old and all you can read is Green Eggs and Ham, you have to settle. And they really aren't that bad. I know they leave a lot of things out, but they're made for children. You just have to take them for what they are.
Wolfshead
12-08-2002, 06:54 PM
No, they are bad. Period. The number of things missed out and changed unnessarily is unbelievable. Plus the animation is awful. And there's all those excessive hand gestures. Check out this review from Flying Moose.
http://flyingmoose.org/tolksarc/bakshi/bakshi.htm
It's a surprisinginly good summary, from the best Tolkien site on the Net.
Froggum
12-08-2002, 11:09 PM
Omigosh, that is soooooooo not the movie I was referring to . Lord of the Rings is awful. I'm talking about the other two cartoons directed by Jules Bass. The animation is so much better. Give me credit for having some taste.

I feel bad for never finding any of those old movies. Most people say that they're bad, but oh well. I'd still like to see for myself. I'd at least get to burn the video if it had a bad representation of poor Smeagol. :rolleyes:
Froggum
12-09-2002, 01:59 AM
Well, I liked them as a kid. I still do. Especially since its a sure-fire way to chase off my sister when I'm at home from college. :)
I'm sure you can probably find them online. At least some clips. They leave out a lot, but what's there is pretty okay. Just don't take them too seriously. And I really dig the music!

Ah, please accept my apologies. I was under the impression Bakshi did the other 2 as well. You see, only LOTR is available in the UK, so I looked the others up on Amazon.com rather than UK like I usually would, and I saw them sold as a trilogy. I guess that mislead me into thinking Bakshi did all 3.
Still, they can't be that good...

Got it. Subway (or bus) surfing sounds fun. It's not like an Outcast should feel stupid for asking a question in a thread like this anyways. Let me see here. I have a homemade pocket watch. Makes me feel superly sophisticated. :rolleyes: I had one of those watches that mostly kids use. The kind with all of the buttons and the digital numbers and stuff. I'm having fun with it since most of my friends are getting grown up watches now. oh well. Anyways, the band broke off after a while, so I used one those things that I think are called pipe cleaners as a chain. oh well. Aren't pocket watches supposed to make you feel sophisticated? Whoops!

I still have a Winnie-the Pooh watch. In fact, I have Pooh and Friends everything, including a big stuffed Eeyore, Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore slippers, a singing Piglet, all the Beanies, and about 8 pairs of pajamas. And stationary. And underwear. And socks. And the complete collection of Happy Meal toys. I think I win the prize for dorky-ness. In my own defense, I bought none of the above for myself. My Mommy did it.

Of course dorks rule! They're one of the main types of Outcasts, I thought! But then, I haven't gotten any of those crazy watches. I think I remember getting some of the Lost World ones when they had them. Evil Lost World movie. Okay, that's a rant for later.

My watch is the only trendy thing I own, and I only have it because my dad and I found it on the ground in the parking lot of Oceanside Beach. It's quite pretty, for something so trendy, and it has a metal band, which is definitly a plus. :)

12-11-2002, 03:47 AM
I feel bad now because I have no watch to describe........ hows this...... my watch doesn't keep time very well, and it's really hard to see because it's the same color and design as whatever's behind it, and what time it says depends entirely upon what time you want it to say.

Ack! Crazy Dragon person! That watch sounds like a super cool Outcast type watch to me! oh well. Let me see here. I gots me another Outcast type thing. I'm writing RPG and Outcast stuffs all the time in school, and people think I'm writing notes. Yay me! Whoops!

I tried to knit one time. It didnt work. Yay, wasn't your sister on the forum for awhile? Or is she still? What was her forum-name thingy again?
Outcast type things that Ive done lately...Well, my friends and I are all REALLY loud, and make bad jokes, ect. and our entire school is very proper, and well-mannered. The funny thing is, that almost none of my friends are originally from where we now (unfortunately) live, so it explains alot.

Okay, I thought of some more. I went on an anti-tobacco crusade in a town full of hicks. I pissed off an entire section of my college marching band for saying things in public that everyone else whispers behind people's backs. I'm a theatre major who doesn't act, I just like building sets. I'm 19 and I can't drive. I'm engaged to my second ever boyfriend. I go to college parties but I don't drink beer. (It's nasty!) And I read mostly childresn and young adult fantasy. Aside from Anne McCaffrey and Tolkien. Oh, and I hated The Two Towers. I was an officer of several school cluns, but only because no one else ran.

Woah! Yikes! I can't top that! You've had way more experience than me! Anyways, sorry I forgot to answer that question the EverEve person asked me a while ago. I have two sisters that are members here, but neither of them show up anymore. Nildadari is my evil older sister who liked to torture me. I like to make fun of her name and say things like, "What's a dari, and how do you nil it?" oh well. The other one is my evil, stinky, popular, little teen-aged sister. Named Emerald Took over here.

Hmmm, Outcast things. Where to start? I love eating cookies and brownies sprinkled with salt(brings out the flavor). I continually talk to myself, my guinea pigs, my insane birds, my mouse and I'll actually say I what I think they're saying back. My room is covered floor to ceiling in bird posters(excepting the LOTR movie poster), and our Christmas tree is still up(I like the festive look, okay actually I'm a major procrastinator). I'll translate songs into elvish, a completely useless task, when I'm supposed to be doing school. I'll also work on RPG stuff and my stories, and constantly have new ideas and inspirations. I'm homeschooled, that's outcasty in itself. My Dad's a conspiracy theorist who runs his own website with custom HMTL. Ummm, Oh yeah, and I'm one of the horrible grammar freaks who can read an almost perfect paper and pick out the one flaw in it.:rolleyes: What can I say? I like English. My whole family loves the sport of arguing, so it's not uncommon to hear us yelling at each other over stuff(not because we're angry, we just like debating). Oh and my brother writes stories like the "After-effects of Shaving Cream Consumption" and "Lost in the Woods on LSD", (if you want to read them, PM me. They're pretty good), where as I argue about the validity on Nietzche's principles(for those of you who have READ Nietzche, I don't agree with him, but everyone else was taking the "good guy" side. Someone had to stick up for the psycho quasi-Nazi with a major chip on his shoulder. Yeah, I was bored). And that's the more normal aspects of our family.
YayGollum
02-11-2003, 09:48 PM
Woah! Yikes! Scary! I've never talked to animals like that! I used to cover my walls with stuff, but since I'm also a procrastinator, I haven't put the stuff back up since the last time we moved. :rolleyes:
Ick. Nasssty elvish. I translate things into a stupid little code I made up while superly bored in a keyboarding class. That's where I came up with my first RPG character's name. It's just my name in the stupid code. oh well. Which is worse? Translating things into your own language or someone else's? I don't know.
Homeschooled people are Outcasts? I didn't know.
Yay for those crazy conspiracy theory people! Crazy!
Yay for horrible grammar freaks and pointing out other people's mistakes! :rolleyes:
No, my family doesn't argue with me anymore. I'm too evil and stubborn even when I know I'm wrong. :D They say that's my Irishness. I have no idea.
Your brother sounds scary. :eek:
Never heard of Nietzsche. Maybe I'd know him if I knew how to pronounce the evil name from just reading it. :confused:

Nah, you don't have to say Yay for horrible grammar freaks. I know what I do is annoying, I'm working on being more polite and tolerant. :rolleyes: It sort of comes from being brutally honest, which is also an unpopular trait, which I don't get. Peopl always SAY they wish others were more honest, but when someone comes along and IS, they take offense. They get even more annoyed when they say brutally honest things about me and I don't get upset. Go figure.
Hehe, your family sounds like mine. I'll never give up on a topic, even when they say I'm wrong. How can I be, since most of the time right and wrong all depend on your personal beliefs and ideas. My opinions and everyone else's are just as valid in that context-*gets thwacked by one of her family members who sees what she's typing*. I dunno if it's the Irish, I'm part German and that's where my Mom says I get my subborness from.
Nah, my brother's not scary. He's one of those introverted types who make funny comments during class. He stays in his room all day writing stuff when he's supposed to be doing schoolwork. :rolleyes:
Nietzche was a social elitest who wrote stuff on master races and all that nazi stuff. The guy listened to Wagner all the time and was a major pessimist, no wonder he wrote that.

I talk to my animals too! And I have oh so many animals... guinea pigs, rabbits, two birds, lotsa reptiles, a chinchilla, and lotsa lotsa fish. And my rabbits are named after coffee-based drinks- Cappuccino and Expresso. I used to have a third named Mocha. I taught them how to throw things, its so funny. Oh, and Expresso chases our cat. I talk to my fish all the time and some of them eat out of my hand. And my dorm is covered in fish posters, fish stuffed animals, fish decorations, and real fish. The other people in the hall gave me weird looks when they first saw my room.
One time, when i was in high school, a bunch of my friends and i bought bright colored suits from a second-hand store. Mine was yellow, we also had red, blue, green, and purple. Then we wore them out to one of the most upscale, "preppy" malls in town. Oh, the things that were shouted at us. So much fun!!
HobbitGirl
02-12-2003, 01:16 AM
Hm...well, I don't think I can top all of that, but just being me always seems to be Outcasty enough. I'm overly frank and honest, and I always try and let people know how stupid they really are. I guess that makes me come out as mean...but I don't know why I try. So many closed-minded stupid people are so convinced of thier own superiority that they just shut out, shun, and ridicule anything or anyone that doesn't conform with thier little bubble of closed-minded cluelessness.
Heh, well enough of my rant. Wrong thread for that. :) What I find really fun is randomly quoting Monty Python lines at unsuspecting people passing in the halls, and if I'm in a really onry mood, I'll act out scenes. Sometimes I'll be in a croweded hallway at school and I'll burst out in the song from the EE FOTR, the one Merry and Pippen sing in the Green Dragon. Or even better, I'll sing some song by a punk band no one has ever heard of, and maybe I'll headbang to the song as I'm singing it. Oh, the looks I get! Priceless. :D
Oh and yes, I know I've already listed my Outcasty behavior, but I make up new stuff to surprise people with quite frequently. I love to keep people guessing. It's just so fun to catch them all off guard! :D <skips away merrily>

So we get to say what is Outcastish about us here! Cool! It's nice to know there's others (kinda) like me out there! Yay!
I'm living with my bro, who has two dogs, both of them Boxers. One, Rocky, bit me seven times one night, for breaking up a fight between him and Boomer, the other Boxer. I was watching Fellowship of the Ring at home at the time! (too much noise!)Anyways, he left a scar on my hand 4" long that night, but he only has four blunt teeth! The dog is totally deformed, yet he still kicked my ***! But I still pet him, and love him, and hug my little naughty pet~ he's naughty! Then I take the little naughty pet, and I go....schqquuuiiiiiccsshkk! (weak Chris Farley imitation Tommy Boy) (I didn't squish him.) No Yay for getting bit by the dog, but Yay for us making up, he's being more friendly towards me now. But that doesn't make me an Outcast.
I talk to myself, eat oreo cookies like cereal, tell my 5 year old nephew Freddy Krueger is real, say quotes from the Lord of the Rings to people, and play war games for 5 days straight.
I like to tell people what I think, and yesterday at work I told some lady: "It's 2003, you've got to know how to use sandpaper!" when she told me she didn't. Sometimes my mouth gets me in trouble! I sing stupid kids-songs, and commercial-songs all the time!......"Nobody likes me-everybody hates me-I'm going out to the garden to eat some worms..."
greypilgrim

:)..."Bump, bump!...Big, fat juicy ones, long, slim skinny ones, I'm going out to the garden to eat some worms!":D
Plus I ask people if they ever heard kid-stories that I remember. Like, this one:
Remember the one about the kid who loved peanut butter sandwiches, and he ate so many one day that the fire department had to come and use the "jaws of life" on him, because his mouth got stuck shut? No? Damn, I thought so!
Oh well, they told me I was adopted, too.:rolleyes: Can't remember...;)

I thought the worm song was a Cub Scout song. Aaaah, yes, Cub Scout songs. I'm so very fond of them. My dad used to be a Cubmaster, so when I was in elementry school I knew all the songs that big brothers try to gross little sisters out with. :D Hey, I was even Outcasty when I was a young'un. When I was like in first grade I got to teach a bunch of fifth graders how to tie knots (we were at a Cub Scout camperee). Heh, I guess you can guess without me saying how much they hated me!
"Little black things, little black things, crawling uuuup and down my arms. If I wait till they have babies I can start a black thing farm."

I always wanted to be in boyscouts......I wasin girlscouts and it sucked!!!!!!!
n e ways, one of my best friends was in boyscouts, and his troop was always going paintballing, and doing laser tag, and I know all boyscout troops don't do that, but girlscouts would NEVER do that, they had trouble playing redlight greenlight!!!

I LOOOVE girl scout cookies.

Kailita

Ah, I was in girl scouts for a bit. Brownies, too. Sold the cookies...went the whole mile. The thin mints are good...but personally I like the ones with the chocolate and peanut butter. Mmmm...:D
And my brother was a boy scout, but he hated it, so he quit. Yeah, that's sort of off-topic...
Umm...outcast things done...well, I have quite a few strange quirks about me, if that's what's being referred to. My friends are always joking that I have a mild form of obsessive compulsive disorder (even though it's not true), because I have this habit of tapping things over and over and over. Especially soda bottles. I like to rap them against things and listen to the contrast in sound...strange, I know...but that's what makes me an outcast.
I am also very fascinated by boys' pockets, as I think I stated in a different thread in another section. I just think it isn't fair that guys get such big, cool pockets while girls get such little tiny things that can't fit anything bigger than a stick of gum. I want big pockets! So I obsess over pockets and zippers and buckles...all kinds of things that you find on boys' pants...man, you should see me when I walk by Hot Topic.
And then there's just little things I do, like sneaking onto TTF during typing class in school. (Ahem...not that I'm doing that now...*cough*)

man, i have the same problem! i don't carry a purse, so i have to get pants with at least one back pocket, and so many women's pants don't even have pockets! and I'm a pretty small person, a lot of times not even the womens clothes fit me, men's pants would just fall right off. my biggest problem is with shorts... i like shorts that, ah, leave something to the imagination. they just don't make those for women. so i mostly wear boy's shorts.
recent outcasty thing done... i went skiing this weekend, and i went down one of the hills on my stomach, head first. that was fun!
Kailita
02-25-2003, 07:37 PM
Wells, I'm not an outcast just because of my strange habits. It's also because I hang out with some...interesting...people. Mainly a large group of anti-socials that aren't too well accepted with the majority. But I love them. :D They're so much more exciting then the boring, every day, trying-to-be-popular people. And they've got issues on their minds that are a lot deeper than who's going to win Prom king and queen.
But as far as pocketses goes...well...my mom indulges me to the point where she'll buy me girls' pants with fairly decent sized pockets...but she won't let me wear boy pants. :( *Sob* She thinks they look too grunge/ghetto for a girl to wear.

I'm an Outcast because when my brother's dog bit me, I yelled at it..."I'm the master, go lay down! I'm the master, go lay down!"...over and over at him, after the "attack".
I decided the attack was revenge on the dog's part for me giving him an evil bath when he was a puppy...well I didn't think it was evil...I hosed him down in the driveway, he just stood there shivering, but it was sooo hot out that day! I thought he would be happy to be out there.:confused: I really don't understand dogs, but always played and took them on walks and stuff. They like walks, maybe my bro can give them baths from now on (2 boxers), and I can keep taking them for walks?
I'm also an Outcast because I walk two crazy boxers up and down the street, one that bit me and one who is too stupid to be evil...and he got hit by a car once. Dude, those dogs are Outcasts!

Yes, crazy anti-social funness! Eeee! :D
I have a new quirk that I'm following up on...and I'm not sure if it's an Outcast thing or an Anti-Social thing, or maybe some of both (even though I find that most anti-social people are outcasts and sometimes vice versa)...but some of my friends and I are boycotting the Sadie Hawkins dance at school. :D Hehe. Silly social people and their dances. *Cringes at the thought* I've never fit into that kind of environment, really. Too stiff...too awkward. And everyone makes fun of the way I dance. :( But we're having fun boycotting! Even though most of the friends joining in with me are guys, and it probably doesn't count for them since the girls ask the guys to Sadie's...but oh wells. We're having fun anyway.
And YayGollum...how do you accidentally get to the highest place of a mountain? Did you ski down? Did you fall in the snow? Did it hurt? :eek:

That would be pretty easy, all you have to do is get on the wrong ski lift and there you are! But most places have a few easy runs down from the top too.

03-01-2003, 06:55 PM
Ooh. That sounds sooo scary *cringes*. The only kind of skiing I've done is cross-country...so yeah, just little hills, no big ski lifts and no big mega-mountains. Meep. Don't know what I'd do on a big mountain of snow. Probably fall down and hurt myself or just huddle on the top of the mountain and be scared out of my mind, heh.

Oh, yeah. That Sadie Hawkins dance thingy sounds very Outcastish. Why not? I just ignore things like that too much to boycott them. Whoops! oh well. Anyways, yes, this kohaku person knows what he's talking about. It was one of those ski lift thingys with more than one stop. I wasn't paying attention and accidentally went to the top. No, I didn't fall the whole way down. I walked. Very easy and fun when I got to see other people fall over. :D

03-02-2003, 05:57 PM
hee hee, sometimes falling over is the fun part! with all the snow and a big poofy coat it doesn't hurt. occasionally i will just keep sliding down after i fall, as long as my skis didn't come off. oh and i dont use poles, apparently that's pretty unusual too. poles just get in the way.

Dogs have personalities! The one that was clipped by a car always freezes/gets nervous when cars drive by on our walks. :D I know that's evil but it IS funny! He's a no-brainer! The one that bit me has only three good teeth. He must have got a lucky tooth in on me there! He was just playing and got serious. I should have let it be...
DOGS VS MAN----
They have teeth and can communicate to humans.
We have hands and are the masters.

My second cat is physchotic! (I think I spelled that wrong, oh well.:D ) She bounces off of walls sees things that aren't really there. But a lot of cats act like that, and this is why Rockie says that cats are the bestest!:D
The other day, I was bowling with my friends and we had a pizza. You know how peppers sometimes come on the side of pizzas? Anyway, somebody dared me to eat one of the peppers and I figured, what the heck, so I ate it, got up, and went off to bowl without taking a drink. When I came back, my head was, understandably, on fire and I was like, "Oww, my mouth hurts." One of my friends thought that was funny and started to laugh, but she was drinking so she shot it out of her nose. We all thought that that was hilarious, so we were all on the floor laughing our ***** off and getting strange looks. Then later when we left we all hooked arms and sang "We're off to see the wizard." :D

Since the other thread was destroyed I'm going to have to post this here. It's not really a outcast type thing, allthough I did feel like bit of an outcast at that moment...
I was at the store the other day and the person at the register began counting the money I had handed her, then the next moment her friend came there and, startled, she dropped all the coins. And being the stupid guy that I'am I actually called her "fool of a took" out loud in Finnish. I was so embarrassed that I got out of there as fast as I could.

Yay, I did the same thing on my snowboard and I was at one of those world class resorts that are really high. Well, it wasn't EXACTLY the top, but pretty close. The real top has all double black diamonds. Not fun. I was with a friend that time. We were planning on taking the Tote Road(a blue square), and we couldn't find it!!!!! After about 15-20 minutes of looking, I see a sign. So I race to the sign and see this:
Tote Road blue square

so we made it down safely. We were actuly going up to see an aerial show even though it was towards the bottom. We wanted a better view of it, so we went up and then went down so we missed the first round but has the best seats(well, not really seats) in the house(well, maybe the mountain, but you know what I mean). It was pretty cool. I even touched the tow rope that they rode up to the hill type thingy:D so they could get some speed to hit the 25ft. jumps and go up up to 40ft. in the air:eek: !!!!!!

about pockets...pants aren't good without pockets, I see girls walking around with pants that are like 2 sizes too small, and I think "man!! look how pocket deprived she is!!"
if you want big pockets, and your mom won't buy you anything from hot topic (mine is afraid of hot topic too) just buy from the boys department, and get jynco, or otb pants or something like that......boys pants are SOOOOOO much more comfortable (and they look better too:D )

It depends on where you go to ski. You live in Ohio, right kohaku? So seeing mogles on only the black diamond runs is understandable there. I'm lucky enough to live near Salt Lake City :D, and at the Park City ski resort there are all kinds of blue runs with mogles on 'em.

I've found something that is rather disturbing. Perhaps this belongs in the ranting thread...but it has to do with my outcast obsessions, so I'm putting it here.
People seem to want to rid me of my strange, outcasty habits. Which, I guess, is what normal people have a tendency to do. But the thing is, they do it in such a cruel way...it's really quite upsetting.
For example...besides my obsession with the pockets, I also have a strange interest in bottles. You know...like the little plastic coke bottles that come out of vending machines...they have to be plastic, otherwise I'm not interested. I like to collect them, and then tap them against things when I get bored or stressed...they make such interesting sounds...especially when you compare and contrast the difference when the bottle tops are on or off. I know it's crazy, but it calms me down and makes me feel better. (Which is why I think I might have a mild form of OCD...)
But anyway...all of my friends know about my bottle obsession. And most of them either just shrug it off or tell me that I'm crazy. But there are a few people that just want more than anything to throw away my bottles. Just to be mean? I have no idea. But when they're around me, it's like their sole purpose in life is to steal away my bottles. I can't see why they would do that, unless they purposefully want to make me unhappy, but they don't really have any reason not to like me.
Last year I used to love leaves. Not just any leaves...but those beautifully colored fall leaves that are scarlet and gold. I used to collect them and put them in my locker. They were so stunning, I absolutely loved them. But one girl, who called herself my friend, always wanted to get rid of them. Her reason was that it was a stupid, useless obsession. She didn't see, I guess, the simple joy that I got out of those beautiful leaves. So one day, when I was rejoicing over a new leaf I had gotten - a huge, gold one with dashes of crimson...it was gorgeous - she managed to steal it away from me. And right in front of my eyes - just to be mean? - she tore it up. And laughed. I don't think she meant to be cruel but...why else would she do something like that? And she called herself my friend. But nevertheless, she even took the trouble of getting out scissors and cutting up the stem of my beautiful leaf, so nothing was left of it.
Are all normal people like that? (And when I say normal, I mean it like TEH, as an insult.) And if so...WHY? It's been almost a year since the leaf incident, and I've gotten over that. But I got six of my bottles thrown away today, because a couple people felt like being mean to the quirky redheaded outcast girl. :( Either that, or they thought they were "doing me favor". So I was just wondering if anyone knows why sane (another insult word) people act like that. I know I'm a little crazy. And maybe they think I'm strange for collecting weird things. But does that give them the right to do that to me?
YayGollum
03-14-2003, 10:50 PM
Yikes! Sounds like you know some evil people, lady! Is your obsession with those things that obvious or are these people just looking for things to hurt you with? oh well.
Don't most people have some little OCD thing? I usually notice that. oh well. I have a few little things that annoy people too, but they know that it's nothing serious so they just ignore it.
Anyways, I would say that yes, normal people do like to spoil an Outcast's own brand of enjoyment. They know that they're normal. They think they're superior. They think we're just crazy (the bad kind). They think they know better. Nothing we can do about it.
Too bad you're around evil people. I have no idea why they'd mess with leaves and bottles. Unless they have a thing for them, too. :rolleyes:

There's a German word for that kind of thing, schadenfreude, taking pleasure from other peoples pain. Such a person should not be allowed to call themself your friend.
I know girls have loads of complex friendship circles, it's much simpler with guys, but you should get rid of the people you don't like from around you. Just don't socialise with them, or make them feel stupid with clever comments (a favourite of mine).
Really, someone like that shouldn't have any friends.

Thank you...*hugs back*...heh, HG has heard me rant about this enough times. Yeah, it was Jamie. She was...an interesting friend. She could be really mean at times, but she would just shrug it off like it was a joke and tell whoever she was hurting that they were overreacting. And she was the type of girl who would whisper behind people's backs...ugh...I hate it when girls do that. Really the only reason she was my friend was because she hung around with my other friends. And since then, I've found a much better group to hang out with. People who accept me with my outcasty ways and all! :D (Well...most of the time, anyway. :rolleyes: )

Yes...that's why I hang out with mostly guys now! :D I have to always be careful not to steriotype by sex...because there are a lot of backstabbing, gossipy guys and a lot of straightforward, to-the-point girls. But, yeah, for the most part, guys are a lot simpler as far as friendships go. They say what they mean and don't keep you guessing from ambiguous answers. (Except for James...he has a gift for confusing me. :rolleyes: ) There are two girls in my group, but they're both really close friends, and I know they would never do that kind of mean stuff to me. They sometimes have a hard time humoring my strangeness...but they have their own quirks, too, so usually they're understanding.
Yes, Yay, I know some evil people. Some people are just like that at my school. I don't think they're purposefully looking for things to hurt me with...I'm not really the kind of person that people want to hate or anything. And I'm not overwhelmingly annoying, either (to most people, anyway). I think it's probably that my obsessions are rather obvious. Everyone who has a locker in my area knows me...because I have a tendency to break out into song, shriek or scream, yell something completely random (to their minds, at least...I always have a reason for yelling what I yell...), whack at something with an empty plastic bottle, or do a flying sidekick straight into a locker at any given moment. Most people just roll their eyes and ignore it, branding me as the redheaded psychopath. Some people think it's amusing...most of those ones are the peoples I hang around with. Crazy outcastses like me. And then there are the other cruel ones like I told you about. I guess they don't like me because I'm different. *Shrugs* I've learned to not care. But it still makes me sad when they do mean things to me for no real reason.

Yes, all that sounds about right to me. Except for that last sentence. There IS something we can do about it! We can totally and completely NOT CARE. IGNORE those stupid normal people! Or pull a Craig and sting them with a clever comment. (I can't always do that, though...I'm not the best at thinking on my feet.) Just because they're sane doesn't mean they can push us around.
And yes, I love Yay's theory about most everybody having a little OCD thing! I think he's right! Ooh, yes, if you have an Obsessive Compulsive Disorderish habit, please post it here! Make me feel like I'm not the only one! (Hehe...:D:rolleyes:;))

Weee! I'm part OCD! I tap things nonstop! Whether it be a desk with my bony thumbs, or a desk with my pen, or a pool table with a pool que, or a computer desk with my fingernails, or....or....annoying peoples' heads with my fist! :D (kidding about that last one, I don't punch people)

Well, when I said that there was nothing we could do about it, I meant that there's nothing we can do about how the normal types act. oh well. Yes, sure, Yay for ignoring. I don't mind listening in on what passes for conversation with those people, though. Ick! I often wonder what it's like to have heads where you can't have an intelligent conversation with yourself. oh well. No, I don't think I'll post my crazy OCDness. Too long and boring and confusing and annoying even to myself. oh well. Let's all go watch Monk. :rolleyes:

Hmmm, I don't have any OCD disorders...unless you count being a ruthless editor when it comes to grammar. There's this one thing people tend to do, that is starting a sentence with a conjunction: "and", "but", or "or". I absolutely HATE that, drives me absolutely nuts. When I'm reading a newspaper and I see an error like that I'll actually correct it with a pen just to set my mind as ease. I'm also a very big on correct spelling, so I'll go through and correct all the typos in a piece of writing if they exist. My friends think I'm crazy, but fortunately they have enough OCDs of their own so they can't say anything. Hmm, all this grief you get Kailita makes me glad I'm homeschooled. At my supplementary classes we're all freaks and do really strange stuff, no one would even blink at the stuff you do. On the contrary, you'd-well you wouldn't fit in, nobody really fits in because there's no mold to fit into, but no one would bug you.

When I lived in Arizona I discovered the joy of dipping tortillia chips in pure sour cream. All of my friends thought it was disgusting. I still don't get how you can not like tortilla chips and sour cream when half of those chip-dip mixes call for added sour cream.

I love the spicy stuff when it incinerates everyone else's tastebuds but my own. Yay me! Anyways, yes, I mostly hang out with older ladies. Most guys my age are just that. Guys. In the most negative way you can think to say the word. Way too sickeningly negatively typical. Whoops! *hides*

WHAT?! Yay, the famous elf disser, actually dressing up as an elf like the rest of us freaks in costumes? Tying his hair back like Legolas?
*Laughs maniacally, then abruptly stops*
Older people are fun, I have very few friends my own age, they're too boring. I also like pickles and milk, is that weird? I constantly talk to myself and will start screeching like a crazed bird when i get spazzed(not upset, just stressed). That drives everyone nuts. Also, I seem to hear imaginary sounds that no one else hears, like the noise the TV makes when it's on and muted. Even though the sounds off, it DOES emit a sound when it's turned on, I swear! Everyone says I'm nuts for that. Then I love eating salty cookies and brownies, very tasty. Also, I went walking around shopping everywhere in a really nice elf costume one day, I had went to a costume party and I didn't want to change out of my outfit into normal clothes. Everyone would ignore me and then stare at me when I walked past, very weird.

I think you're confusing me with someone else, lady. I have never dressed up like an elf. Ick. Too popular.
Yes, pickles and milk are weird.
We talk to ourselves, too. Shush, Torin! What, I'm just trying to make her feel at home! Ack!
I don't get stressed. People think I'm weird for hardly ever showing emotion. oh well.
I hear the noise the TV makes when it's muted. Doesn't everybody? Whoops!
I don't mind walking around in the two togas I own. One is a superly cool slick green thing, but the other is my first place winning costume of Hephaestus. Very cool! I should try wearing one of those with my devil horns and my dragon on my shoulder sometime. :D

03-16-2003, 03:47 AM
Oooops, sorry Yay had you confused. Mis-read a post or something.
Stressing out is fun, but only when you're not really stressed. When I seem to get stressed I'm usually having fun with people, I don't take it seriously. I'm one of those crazy people who seem to be all open about their emotions, but when I really get angry or anything like that I just clam up and go completely unreadable, like a statue. Also, I hardly ever cry, I think it's a waste of time, is that weird for a girl? Somewhere I heard that it's normal for chicks to cry. Strange. Oh and I go around with a duffel packed with every single one of my many CDs and a bunch of books all the time, it doesn't matter where I'm going or how long I'll be away, I have to have that duffel.

Yes, most girls I've run into cry in public more than most guys. Ick. oh well. That's just me and my evil ---> showing emotions means you're weak attitude. Yes. Very evil. It comes naturally. I like to think that showing emotions all over the place means that you're just starving for attention. Yes. I'm evil. *hides* just trying to be nice, though. Most people don't get it.

03-16-2003, 04:10 AM
No I get it Yay. I show emotions in public because people expect me too and I'd rather have fun with their preconceptions. So I may over-exxagerate stuff and act really open, when I fact I'm laughing inside at how people could possibly believe I'm actually feeling this stuff. Scarily cynical I guess. It's the same way with saying nice things, I hate people who gush all the time about thanking you for what you have done for them, it sounds so insincere. Everyone thinks I'm cold because I don't get all mushy and praise people for stuff all the time, but why should I if it's going to be pure garbage and lies? Oh well, just me being honest. :rolleyes:
YayGollum
03-16-2003, 04:27 AM
Oh, yeah. Hephaestus is my favorite Greek god. Him and Hermes. :D Anyways, Yay for being honest! It seems like overexaggerating emotions while laughing at people isn't honest, but what do I know? :rolleyes: Yay for thinking that people who gush about everything are insincere! Very evil!
Me and my evil little sister at Christmas --->
I get a present, calmly and neatly take the wrapping paper off, throw the stuff away before noticing what's inside, say "Thank you" to whoever gave it to me, then set it down somewhere.
The evil little sister gets a present, she rips the paper off, scattering pieces everywhere and leaving them for me to clean up later, she sees what's inside and tosses it somewhere, then hugs whoever gave it to her and bounces up and down, raving about how cool the thing is. Ick.

03-16-2003, 06:51 AM
Meep...you peoples write a lot in a span of just one day! That means I have a lot to respond to. Everybody hold on...here comes another long Kailita post...:rolleyes:
Craig, air guitar is the bestest. :D And TEH, I'm a spelling freak, too! Not so much on grammar...but definitely on spelling. Other people's spelling mistakes don't bother me if there are only a few...but if spelling is completely slaughtered throughout an entire paper, it gives me this churning, bothersome feeling inside. (It would be just my luck to have something misspelled in this post, heh...) Another thing that irks me is when people capitalize things that don't need to be capitalized, or more often vice versa. However, as far as starting a sentence with a conjunction, I believe that in informal situations - such as newspaper articles, novels, etc. - it is acceptable.
Homeschoolishness...I would love to see your supplementary classes, TEH...I love being around outcastyish people! :D But at the same time, I like being where I'm at. I'm going to have to deal with scary normal people sooner or later...might as well get some experience with it now. And as long as I have crazy peoples like me to back me up, I'm good.

Ohmygoshness, I do that, too!! :D Talking to myself is so fun. Makes me feel like I always have someone listening, even if it's just me listening to myself. And it helps me get things straight in my own mind...there's something about saying things verbally that helps me sort things out more clearly. And screeching/screaming is fun...and a good stress reliever. I do that all the time when I'm stressed. Most of the time in the locker halls, because the people there don't think anything of it since they're used to that out of me. But I don't hear the TV when it's on mute...*feels unspecial*
Yay, you don't seem like the type to get stressed, so I believe you. But I wish I had that gift. It feels like I'm stressed at least once every week these days, sometimes every other week if things are going okay. Most of my stress comes from school...not social situations, but actual school work. Blegh. Taking Honors Geometry and Honors Biology the same year was such a mistake. :o I've never fake-stressed-out before...too many real stress outs to bother with fake ones.
TEH, somehow your psychological imbalance (and that is meant as a compliment, of course ;)) of acting all open but hiding your feelings when they're sincere makes perfect sense to me. I don't do it...but I can see how you could.
I cry over things that are either beautiful or heart-wrenching in books, movies, or music...but I hardly ever cry in real life. And I'm not proud of that. I don't think that showing emotions means you have a weak attitude or that crying is a waste of time. But I also don't think that you're weird if you're a girl and you don't cry. Crying is a way to let out feelings...I usually feel a lot more at peace after I finish crying. But most of the time, when I'm feeling really and truly sad, at the point where most people would start to cry...I just get this hollow, empty feeling in my stomach. This sort of blank...nothingness. It's horrible. I feel absolutely nothing. I would much rather cry...feel pain, feel sorrow...because at least then I would be feeling something. But all I feel is empty. Maybe it's shock. Because usually the pain sets in a few hours later, and then I start to cry.
But on the other side of that, girls who cry at the drop of a hat get on my nerves. I always have sympathy for people who are crying when they're hurt...but when people cry for attention, I completely ignore them. People shouldn't "show emotions all over the place" as Yay puts it, but I don't think keeping everything inside is good, either. How can people know how to help you if you won't even let them know that anything's wrong?
Gushings...all I have to say on this subject is that sometimes gushing people can be insincere, but sometimes they're just looking for the right thing to say, and don't know what to choose, so they just say everything! I don't know...I have a habit of giving people the benefit of the doubt. I love peoples. They can be evil, oh yes they can...but they can also be so funny...and sometimes so wonderful. I love the way different people's heads work, and how they're all different, but all the same in some certain ways. Fascinating.
Well, this (scarily long) Kailita post is coming to a close now. There is more that I want to say, but I'll spare you all. :rolleyes: For those of you who made it through the whole thing...HOORAY for you! :D I award you a golden spork and a wombat named Charlie...well done. :D

It wasn't that bad of a post, lady. I just feel sorry for the Outcasts with short attention spans. oh well.
I am very stubborn. Way too stubborn for my own good. I'm not a fan of the people that love to say things like ---> If you ever need to talk, I'll be there for you. Argh! Those would be the people that think I'm being evil to myself for not showing emotions.
People that I've known for a while or relatives die. I feel bad about not being exceedingly sad like everyone else. They think there's something wrong with me for not spewing grief. There's nothing to handle.
sorry about this, but I gots me this crazy little religion thing that tells me not to worry about people dying. I'll meet up with them sometime. No big deal. Sure, I miss them. Why not? I just think it's silly to, so I cut it out. oh well.
Ick. Gushy people. Even if they are sincere, they're superly annoying. I say ---> Get a room and cry in it. People love to toss emotions at me because they say I'm superly stable and a good listener and that they appreciate me not going to bits on them like other people would. Sure, Yay for the compliment, but Ack!
I'm probably too self-centered. Don't care about other people's problems since I wouldn't make such a big deal about them. Please tell me that you could care less. :D
Kailita
03-16-2003, 06:34 PM
Oh Yay...you are stubborn. :rolleyes: But I heart you all the same. And I see your points, I just relate to them differently. But first, before I go on, I feel I must apologize to all the outcasts with ADD or ADHD or just short attention spans. Sorry for putting you through my long posts. :rolleyes: It's just, I have so much to say, and I don't want to forget anything!
Yay, I don't think you're evil for not showing emotions. Some people are just like that...it makes them feel gushy or they think it makes them look silly. I know people like that. But the people that say they'll be there for you if you need to talk...well, I'd say they're just trying to help you out if you need it. They're not purposefully trying to get on your nerves or be patronizing.
And there's nothing wrong with you not being crazily sad when people you love die. If you have hope that you'll see them again, that's great. People grieve because they miss people that are gone, that's all...and then they have to adjust to a new life without the person that has died. It's hard. And if you show absolutely no emotion, people are going to worry about you because they think you're just keeping it all inside and are going to do something terrible or stupid because of it someday. And some people are like that, and it's not a good thing...your family has reason to worry about you if you don't tell them why you're not so sad.
Hmm. I don't know what to say about your last two paragraphs. So I think I'm going to do something that I rarely do and just keep my mouth shut. (I'm trying to get rid of the girly habit to chatter chatter chatter when I don't know what to say...)
I have some other things to touch on, but I'll save them for a later post, so as to keep from overwhelming anybody. :rolleyes: :) I think it's so interesting how we have so many different types of outcasts in here. This really came out when we were all sharing our views on love (I forget if that was in this thread or not, but it was somewhere in GOO). We have the cynical outcasts, the hopeful optimist outcasts, the craaazy outcasts, people that are outcasts because they're too introverted, people that are outcasts because they're too extroverted, and then outcasts that are just stuck inbetween. Yay for the diversity of outcasts!

Whoa! Lots of stuff being talked about here. Nice long posts, I used to do really long posts but my computer would purposely spazz and I would lose everything. Grrr! Huzzah for lots of different Outcasts! Yeah, I'm one of those crazy people who don't show any emotion when we're really feeling deep emotion. Funerals are a waste of time for me, because I've already accepted that the person's dead and I have better things to do then sit in a stuffy room with a dead body while everyone talks about how good this person was. It doesn't matter whether they liked the person or not, very insincere. Poor Yay, having all these people telling you their problems and you don't give a dang. Oh well, if they won't go away then just humor them. Surprisingly, everyone seems to tell me things as well, although Lord knows I never invite them to. I have a sort of intuition of how people really are, so whenever they shoot their mouth off around me, I can sort of "read" what they really mean and the thousands of ways their mind may be/probably is working at that time. Makes it very hard to argue with anyone, because by the time I get done processing everything and the other person's inevitable answers, I decide that it would be a waste of my time. Very strange I guess, people tell me things without trying that way.

03-16-2003, 07:31 PM
Hmm...I would quote your post, TEH, but it's pretty long, heh. Of course, I'm one to be talking. :D (I need to find you a new name...I always pronounce initials the way they sound - so instead of pronouncing it "Tee-Ee-Aych", I pronounce it "Teh" like rhyming with "bleh" - and that's just not working. You're not a Teh-Bleh kind of person. You need a name that brings out your intuitive, perceptive, somewhat cynical but I think ultimately good-hearted, unique personality. *Nods* Yes...I'll work on it...)
Anyway, I think you and Yay have something that draws people, even if you don't want them, heh. :rolleyes: You're both very real and truthful about things, even if it comes off a bit harsh at times. You're not going put laces and ribbons around the truth to soften it down. And neither of you seem to have a chattering habit. So people want to tell you their problems, because they know you're not going to talk their ears off. A lot of people just want someone to listen when they have problems, they don't necessarily always want advice.
Ack, I have to go now. Meh. Once again, I get cut off from my rant before I get to say everything I want! *Sob* Crackers. I'll get to it LATER, once again...:rolleyes:

03-17-2003, 12:51 AM
Hey! Ouch, that's harsh...:rolleyes: (hehe...)
HG, Likasevita, you never scare me. Well...okay, maybe sometimes you do (like when you're on the phone ranting about your school website...:rolleyes::D), but it's okay...not scary in a bad way, more like scary in an amusing way. ;) I heart you much.
Earmaiwen is an interesting name, but it's a mouthful and I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right. *Wonders if TEH would object to be called "Jam"...heh...* Don't worry, I'll find a good name eventually...
HOORAY, now I finally have time to talk! Er...type. Whatever. Well, not really, I still have two biology labs and a geometry worksheet to finish, but eh, that can wait. Here we goes...four more not-quite-normal things about me:
One. Vixen's comment about drawing all her people with elf ears made me think of this. I have this habit of drawing weird little people with big eyes and exaggerated facial features, and I guess I do it when I'm zoning out or not paying attention (usually on school papers, heh). The thing is, I never know that I'm drawing them...it's scary. I'll look back on my school papers a couple days later and see these sketches in my type of drawing that I don't remember doing :confused:...crazy.
Two. I add weird suffixes to the end of words. Usually -ish or -ness or sometimes both. That's just to let you know that I'm not mocking or making fun of you if I add something to the end of your name. I just do that *shrugs*. (I've been wanting for the longest time to put an -ish on the end of Yay's name - Yayish! - but I haven't, because I was afraid it might offend him...some people do get offended by my messing with their names...) I also have a tendency to pluralize things, usually phrases such as "oh no", "oh my", "oh well"...I just add an -s onto the end of them. (But I'm boycotting "oh well" these days...I say "crackers" instead. :D)
Three. Weight loss commercials! Okay...I would bet money that not even other outcasts would understand this completely...but weight loss commercials make me so happy. Basically, other people's moods usually rub off on me...especially happiness. So when I see those people on the weight loss commercials...like that Jared guy from Subway...and they seem so happy that they lost so much weight and can do all the things they love to do now, it just makes me grin. I know most of them are acting, and they're not really as happy as they're pretending to be...but it still makes me happy to see them happy. Don't know why...
Four. Random outbursts! :D I love this quirk...and I'm actually not the only person who does this. A lot of people use random outbursts. I have a list of one-word random outbursts that I use, and each one is different. I use different outbursts depending on my mood. So here's my list...my random outbursts consist of ---> ack, gah, ugh, urgh, ergh, erk, meh, meep, bleh, blegh, and agh. And there are also a few that I make up on the spot and only use once, because they only fit one situation...such as urk and egh. I've never used argh before...that seems to be a popular one...but it makes me think of pirates, heh. Some outbursts have specific purposes ---> I only use bleh, blegh, and meh when I'm disgusted or tired or bored, and I only use meep when I'm happy or surprised. I'm sure you all care, heh. :rolleyes:
Anyway, there, I'm done now. :D And I feel happy that I've said everything that I wanted to say, FINALLY, even if I'm the only one listening to myself. :)

To one ---> Nothing wrong with that. Expressing craziness. Like freewriting. Doodling. I don't see what's so weird about it. Sounds like some scary pictures, though. Get involved in charicatures. :rolleyes:
To two ---> I'm not offended by Yayish. I'd wonder why you'd want to call me that, though. I would think you'd use it for things that sound like me. ---> That sounds like a very Yayish thing to do. oh well. Maybe I'm just crazy. Nothing wrong with crazy ways to say things. It's usually fun.
To three ---> Ick. People absorbing emotions from other people. Scary. People catching emotions like diseases. Yikes!
To four ---> Doesn't sound like they're random. Maybe I'm crazy for thinking that you mentioned certain times when you use certain outbursts. oh well. Those can get annoying if you use them too much. I hear that my oh wells are annoying. Whoops!

03-17-2003, 01:17 AM
Wow, lots of long posts for me to read...:D
I put -ish and -ness on everything!!!!!!!!! Its like my own language that me and my friend are making up. We've changed a whole bunch of words to make them sound cool, like i have no idea what the word for a polygon that has over 10 sides, so in "Jayology"(thats my name, Jay!), an eleven sided polygon is either an elevenagon, or a unodecagon! It's fun trying to find names for 45-sided polygons in the second one...
In my class, we have three girls, all best friends, and one of them is SOOOO sencitive(or however you spell it), that whenever one of them will joke about her, she will break down and cry and pout!!!!!!! One day she started crying because the other two could sit near each other because they don't talk all that much, and she just runs her mouth every chance she gets, so she gets jealous and starts crying and pouting!!!!! It's sad! It really is! I'm lucky she doesn't come to me for help...

03-17-2003, 01:23 AM
Yay for Yayish! :D Hey, it could be worse. My friend Jill's name got turned into Jillishnessishment...though some of that was her doing. Crackers. The -ish suffix is probably used more to make a noun into an adjective...like your example:

...But crackers, I'll use it both ways. :)
Hmm...you may be right about random outbursts not being random. *Pulls out her trusty dictionary* (I heart this thing...it's one of my best friends, next to the thesaurus...I look up everything...) It says here ---> Random: impetuous, lacking method, purposeless. Hmms. Well, different outbursts do illustrate different feelings, so in that sense they're not random. But I usually throw in the outbursts at random times...so in that sense they are. *Shrugs*
Another thing I realized ---> there is no such thing as normal. :eek: My dictionary says ---> Normal: the expected behavior/standard. And what is expected changes with the time and the people that you're around...therefore, normal is not a stable thing...so really, there's no such thing as normal. :rolleyes:
I don't think your "oh well"s are annoying, Yay. But I've stopped saying that phrase, just because it makes me think of an attitude that says, "Well, things just are the way they are, and there's nothing we can do about it, so we might as well just shrug our shoulders and say oh well." And I hate being helpless like that. So no more oh well for me.
List of things that Yay says:
oh well
ack!

I'm so sorry for your leaf Kailita.:( I love leaves, they're so pretty. I have lots of little weird habits. I never drink until the end of meals, and I always eat each thing one seperate thing at a time. I love to talk to myself, I do it all of the time, even in rooms full of people. I like to talk in the third person, or in the royal plural, so I often start sentences with things like, "Caitlin likes..." or "We think.." That really bugs some people. And ( please don't yell at me for starting a sentence with and:D ) I'm way to self assured and I always say the first thing that pops into my head. The other day a homeless guy was asking people for money so he could get a hotdog, so I was going to go over and say, "Okay, come with me, I'll buy you a hotdog."(I didn't want him to use the money to buy drugs or something) But then my mean brother grabed me by the sweater and dragged me away.:(

Thank you for your sympathy, Rockie. It's appreciated. :) Yay for leaf lovers! Talking in third person is fun...except I refer to myself as Palinta when I do that, so it gets confusing for some of my friends. "Palinta needs a holiday..." is one of my more famous third person sayings.

LOL! Too bad for evil brother people. That sounds like something I would want to do, too!
Ack. I'm horrible about homeless people...way too softhearted. When my family went to Mexico, I bought so much gum from the old ladies on the street...then ended up just giving it away to the little street kids who would come up and try to sell me necklaces and bracelets. I gotta say, those little Mexican kids have the biggest brown eyes I've ever seen...

I know, homeless people make me so sad, I just want to take them all home with me. I also have this little calender thingy where I count down the school days I have left, the days until summer, the days until the summer after next summer, and the days until RotK comes out.:D Then I write the numbers on my hand. Everybody gives me strange looks and tries to take my calender. Oh well.:p

this weekend, a few friends and I were sitting outside eating on one of the main roads through downtown columbus, and a homeless guy came up to us and asked if we were "on the street" too. it was rather amusing, but anyway we gave him some change. they can be really interesting people to talk to. but yeah, at's sad that they don't have a home to go back to.
that same day we saw a man walking up and down the sidewalk playing the bagpipes. it was so cool! two things i really want to learn to play: the bagpipes and the accordion.

That'd be fun! To have all these outcasty homeless people in your house...well, I guess that's what they have homeless shelters for.
Yay for bagpipes and accordions! Anything that sounds remotely like Celtic music has got to be major funness. :D
D!! I was wondering where you've been! Welcome back! :D And you read my long scary posts! Hurray! (I feel so loved...:)) I'm glad you enjoy your new spork and wombat. I felt like I had to give SOME kind of compensation to the people who struggled all the way through my whole rant. ;)
Anyways...ohmygoshness, D, you said ohmygoshness!! Eeeee! *Jumps around happily* That means that I'm rubbing off on you people just as much as you're rubbing off on me! :) But how is crackers offensive to you...? :confused: *Is confused...*

I've never heard of that before...the only things I think of when I think "crackers" are Saltine or Ritz crackers...or the stoners on crack cocaine who hang out in the shadows behind the PE lockers, heh. But I certainly didn't mean it in an offensive way, considering that I'm white myself! ;)

I don't know. There are some super-feminists at my school who are complaining that the reference to "mankind" in our history textbooks should be changed to "man and womankind" or "humankind". I guess they didn't realize that human kind has the word "man" in it too, heh. :rolleyes: Personally, I have to agree with Jam:

In our school intramurals(I think I spelled that right:p ) the rules said that on every team of 6 for volleyball, there had to be at least 2 girls. When I asked the lady in charge why that was she said "Because boys can kick girls' butts." :mad: Most of the girls I know can beat over half of the boys I know in volleyball*and other things;) * (Myself not included in the volleyball bit:) *rueful smile*) So I got a petition started to change the rules so that it didn't matter what sex you are. When I turned it in, it had over 100 signatures (and this isn't just random people, this is the intramural playing public of my school) and they just ignored it and sent me a letter saying that it wasn't sexist and not to stir up any more trouble! But anyways, the whole guildsman thing doesn't bother me.

I got mad because when you take tests, you have to bubble in a little "ethics" bubble thingy, and its choices were like, white, african american, pacific islander, native american, and asian......well, first I was mad because they said "white" instead of caucasion, when all the others where "african american" instead of black, an dstuff like that, and then I got mad because I have a friend who is middle eastern (from Lebonon if n e 1 knows where that is) and she didn't know where to bubble in, so she ended up putting white because she has some in lher even though she is most definantly NOT white.........little things like that make me mad......:rolleyes:

Yikes! That volleyball thing is craziness. Schools that I've been to all say that only girls can play volleyball. It's crazy that your place is suddenly saying that volleyball should be mostly for boys. :rolleyes: oh well. Did the little bubble in thing not have an 'other' option or something like that? oh well. What's so offensive about being called white? :confused: You just want a special little name just for you?

That's crazy! And I can't believe that a woman would be saying that. My school is somewhat like Yay's, but we have a girls' volleyball team and a boys' volleyball team. And the girls rock!
However, my school has its sexist moments as well. For example, when we do runs in PE, all the girls get to start a minute earlier than the guys, because I suppose they assume that girls are slower. And my PE teacher, who is a man, grades the girls a whole lot easier than the boys. Most of the girls don't complain...because, hey, they're getting off easy...but it does bug me some. For one thing, it makes me feel weaker than everybody else, and for another thing it's just not fair to the boys. *Sigh* Crackers. Maybe I'll start up another boycott. The Sadie Hawkins dance at my school is in two days, so that boycott will be over and I'll have to think up a new one anyway...
