Off Topic / I am really lame

« on: January 07, 2013, 04:15:27 AM »

first off, I don't have any friends, really. there's one guy who I talk to in homeroom most days, but I don't even like him. and outside of that, I never talk to him. and all during school day, I never talk to anyone unless spoken to. in elementary school, I never talked, period, bc I was really shy and stuff. same for the second chance I had to make friends, in middle school. so I never did make friends. now, in high school, everyone already knows who their friends are, except me, because I don't have any
I don't know what to do. everyone hangs out with their own groups already. I'm afraid that if I try to talk to them, they wont want me there, and they'll get agitated or uncomfortable until I leave
once this past semester, a girl in PE tried talking to me specifically. she even complimented me, saying that she liked my glasses. I said thank you, and then nothing else, bc I didn't know what to say. now, I think I should have returned the compliment, but at the time I didn't. the next day, at some point she told me that I had nice eyes. same damn thing. she didn't try talking to me anymore after that
the first day at lunch in a new class is forgetin nightmare for me. everyone already knows who they're going to sit around. but I have to wait a little, to see where I can sit next to people who I think would be the least likely to care. I hate it
even on the internet ffs. I never start conversations with people on steam or anything. I'm afraid they'll be annoyed. there's only one guy who I know wants to talk, but everyone else I have no idea. even when someone is just playing a game, I don't say anything, whether I want to or not, bc I fear they'll be annoyed at me since they're trying to play a game. and otherwise, just bc I think they don't want me talking to them
so I only talk to one guy regularly. recently I also lost a friend bc of some dumb old stuff. he needed to know, but I still regret telling him

it's so pathetic. and the only reason I'm posting so late is bc I couldn't get to sleep, just like the last time I'd have new classes that day, thinking about how stupid this all is

also, I don't have any plans
like, my future depends on hopefully moving in with someone. I used to have some confidence in college and a job, but I'm severely lacking that now. I have bad grades. especially in math. it's because I'm so lazy, and I don't do enough homework. my biggest achievement was getting an MOS certification in Excel. but what good will that do? maybe it'll help getting a small job whenever, but it's not gonna replace a college degree
and then, if I do get accepted into some college, where will it be? what will it be? some community college close to home (which is not where I want to stay)? I guess that'd be a start, but then I'll be here
I need to stop being lazy

maybe homeschooling? then I wouldn't have to worry about a teacher's pace, and it'd be a familiar, less stressful (for me) environment, and I imagine I'd be more willing to do homework. I think it would help me. but...
idk

anyway, sorry for all the whiny words. I think I just needed to get it all off my chest

Drama / Why are bullstuff Gallery threads allowed?

« on: December 27, 2012, 02:48:33 AM »

I don't understand
there are situations where someone has very obviously made a joke thread in Gallery. I don't think I should even have to mention this
and then there are times when someone makes a thread for some dumb stuff. like, for example, changing the amount of colors the game uses. less of a problem than my first complaint, but at the very least, they belong in General Discussion instead

it's really easy to tell the difference between a genuine thread and one of these, so it's not like it'd be hard to enforce. honestly, all it really takes is to look at the user who posted it

Off Topic / is there a way to disconnect another user from a particular router?

« on: December 24, 2012, 05:19:11 PM »

my uncle's being stupid. he's trying to install at least ten apps on an iPad at one time. it's two rows, and a few on the rows before and after
I can not do a loving thing. I had to use 3G on my phone to make this topic
so I need a way to disconnect him from it by using another computer. if I need to, I can use a computer connected to the router by a cord

Off Topic / I was Mickey Mouse.

« on: December 16, 2012, 11:28:43 PM »

ok so my mom's company had this christmas party thing for the employees and their kids. they spent $10,000 on it :I
but anyway, I found out about a week before it was going down that I had to go. I wasn't entirely happy about that, but w/e. it'd last like four hours for most people, but since my mom is one of the HR officers (and HR was in charge of it), we'd have to go two hours early
still, not much of a problem

my complaint was on the day before, when I found out that my sister and I were going to have to get in mickey and minnie mouse suits for an hour during it. oh god
I knew I was going to be paid $25 for it, but I was very far from looking forward to it

anyway, when it came to it, it wasn't actually as bad as I suppose it could have been. it was hot, but not very. I couldn't see for stuff, but that was a small problem
decidedly worth $25, and we're also supposedly getting some more from my mom's boss

I suppose these are intended for people fatter than I

I still would have preferred to have not done it, though

commence fursuit jokes etc

but take a closer look

YES
the avatars!
they used to be next to the comments, but for some reason they took them out :c
but now they're back! :D

also, check these things out

they're pretty cool, and potentially useful, for saving you from pressing the back button and reloading that page

Off Topic / help me: how to use a xbox controller for pc for games?

« on: November 23, 2012, 04:50:24 PM »

ok so, I've got the controller, and microsoft's lame drivers. but they suck. I also don't want to spend money on something like xpadder, unless I have to
but something like xpadder is exactly what I need, and I don't know of any alternatives, which is what I need help with

also, idk if my headsets are just broken or if there's something wrong with the driver, bc they aren't working right. the driver does seem to recognize that one is plugged in tho, so I doubt it's a problem with the controller

Creativity / an assignment I had for English

« on: November 19, 2012, 08:08:39 PM »

so I had to write a "600-1000 word" paper about what happened to Pearl after the end of The Scarlet Letter. that book was kinda lame, but w/e.

At the end of The Scarlet Letter, there wasn’t much clarification on what happened to Pearl. Did she move to one of the properties she inherited and start a family, or did she die young at some point after leaving New England with Hester? Maybe, she could have given away all that she got from Chillingworth, and lived off money and in a house that she earned herself. The citizens didn’t think of that as very likely though, when they took into consideration the expensive gifts and letters that Hester received, assuming those letters were from Pearl. Nobody actually knew, all they had to go by were their rumors.

But none of the rumors that they had were entirely true. Pearl did sell the Boston property from Chillingworth, and she did eventually start a family. Of course, she did die as well, but that was much later in her life. The letters and gifts that Hester would receive after her return were, in fact, from Pearl. Most of this would not happen until several years had passed after she left.

After leaving New England, Pearl and her mother moved to the property in Boston that Chillingworth had left to the little girl. They were both happy to finally be out of that city, especially Hester. In Boston they stayed for many years, meeting new people, socializing with them, and making friends. Compared to the way they were in New England, this was a huge change for them, but refreshing. Soon after Pearl became an adult, she decided she was bored with that city. She wanted to move to the property that she owned in England. But Hester didn’t wish to leave the New World, so she said goodbye and went back to New England, where she would stay for the rest of her life.

Pearl sold her Boston property for some extra money to get on a ship in the Boston Harbor that was headed for England. It was scheduled to leave about a week after Hester had left. Pearl hated that trip. The boat was dirty, there were rats everywhere, and the movement caused by the waves made her sick more than once.  They could not get to England fast enough, and it felt like she was on that horrible vessel for years, although it was only several months. But, it was cheap, and left her with even more money to use once she arrived in Europe. She didn’t really need that money; she had plenty more to spend. Perhaps a part of her just felt like she it would be a good experience. Regardless of her reasons, Pearl regretted making that decision very much.

Once in England, she immediately searched out her land. It wasn’t difficult to locate, with the help of locals. After she found the home, though, she didn’t talk to many people here. There’s no telling why, she may have not enjoyed the social life of hers in Boston, or perhaps she didn’t want to get too involved in her new neighbors’ different customs. Instead of talking to people, she sent the letters, much like journal entries (other than that she sent them monthly rather than daily), and the gifts to her mother.

At a market one day, she did find a nice man who was also unique compared to the citizens of England. They got to know each other very well, and eventually the man proposed, and she accepted. Before long, the couple had a daughter of their own. Pearl mentioned the girl in a letter she sent to Hester, and she even made an elegant dress for the child. The dress was beautifully embroidered, even more than the garments she had made for Pearl when she was young. Pearl and her husband, with their daughter, lived comfortably off of her inheritance, and had a very happy marriage. When they died, their offspring inherited for herself what was left of the original inheritance. On their shared gravestone, after the usual information, was engraved:

“On a field, sable, the letter A, gules.”

you'd kinda have to have read the book to know wtf I'm talking about, but I'm sure it's required reading in most american schools. forget I made typos tho. like on the one I turned in, the "shared" and "usual" in the last sentence of the next-to-last paragraph were actually "share" and "usually," respectively. oh god that sucks. I hope she doesn't care much

my mom says it's exceptional. but idk man. this is something I wrote at like 4:00 AM in the total time of about two or three hours. if this is exceptional then maybe I should start writing late at night more often

it's 681 words, btw

Off Topic / When you wake up, and it's tomorrow. Except it's actually yesterday.

« on: November 06, 2012, 06:19:03 PM »

er, *today

what I'm talking about is when you fall asleep during the day, and then wake up and think it's the next day, when it's actually the same day
like, what happened to me a little bit ago. I fell asleep, on the couch I guess, after school, and then woke up at like 5:50-something, which is when I often get up for school. I guess my waking-up memory was being especially bad, bc within ten minutes I had convinced myself that it was morning the next day. so I got ready to take my shower and everything, but I was a little confused about why my laptop was still sitting in the middle of my bed even though I'd been asleep (I couldn't remember where I had actually slept at this point)
so through all of this confusion, I eventually decided that it was also a little weird that my mom was nowhere to be found. then I asked my sister what day it was (I didn't trust my watch), and finally found out that I had actually been asleep no longer than an hour

so, ya that's it. this has happened more than once, too. but somehow I've still never woken up on a weekend thinking it was a weekday...

Off Topic / what if this WAS my real name?

« on: November 05, 2012, 08:09:31 PM »

ok what. why do some websites do this? I mean the not accepting it part. I should be able to put in whatever real name I please. what if it was my real name? then I think I'd be rather offended that they were implying it wasn't a fitting name
part of me really doubts that it's bc it's already taken. (and not only bc a google search for "nightso foxington" (including quotes) shows up no results)

also, Night Fox doesn't work either. I tried it first :c

Off Topic / What are any advantages/disadvantages of homeschooling?

« on: October 23, 2012, 07:02:40 AM »

I am considering asking my mom about it
there is no particular reason, I'm just indifferent enough that I'm willing to do whichever might be good
my biggest question is: does it make it any harder to get into college, compared to public school?
I also want to know, just, about it. like, how do you do it? are there separate options, or is it a standardized thing?
I don't really know anything about it

I also don't intend to even consider actually switching until next year, I just feel like I should give myself as much time to think about it as possible

Drama / I shouldn't have been banned.

« on: October 06, 2012, 10:29:23 PM »

seriously

get a pen knife, cut his eyeball out with it, then hang him in your garden after he heals

User was banned for this post

pretty sure everyone knew what I was doing. especially considering I explained it after two posts
in case someone's too lazy to look, I was making a reference to The Black Cat
for that matter, I think even the OP understood, and he was the guy I'd have been trolling, if I was in the first place. that's what I was banned for, by the way

I'm not complaining about badspot (although he definitely deserves some blame), this is more against whoever reported me.

but like I told some people, it was only for a week, so there was no point in taking measures to get myself unbanned. if it'd been permanent, or anything longer than two weeks, I surely would have, though
