Wow, I just used my own coming out thread to try and analyze how Alexander is secretly gay... That's um... Quite an interesting conversation pattern, I've got to say...

You're so incredibly awesome, d-d.  How could anyone not love you?

Honestly, that's a good question. I know a few people who aren't fond of me, but they're just idiots. They can't see how lovable and huggable I am. They have beefs against me for whatever reason. Whatever I did to them, I either don't remember, or should be forgotten because it happened so long ago. One person told me I was horrible person and the like. She kept berating me until I broke down into tears. I came home crying in my dad's arms because of this girl... Flash forward to driver's ed years later, and she's in the car with me. We were talking about friends for whatever reason, and I said that I didn't have many (which is true, really. I keep to myself a lot. The friends I do have are awesome and I'm cool with them, but I don't go out of my way to make new ones) and she said that's probably because I'm mean and arrogant or something like that... I can't remember much of what she was calling me really. But suffice it to say, I don't like her, she doesn't like me. I try to avoid her at all costs. Ironically, her dad is a science teacher at my high school, and he was on the school committee as the faculty representative. I used to film the school committee meetings at my school (a note to anyone looking to do the same: DON'T! They are the most boring thing ever invented by man. I only did it because of the pay and the experience...), and the entire committee was sad to see me leave for college. This girl's father certainly seemed to like me. I have no idea if she ever said anything about me to him, but I never asked. But he liked me, and I suppose that's the most important thing...

I concede. You win, good sir, you win.

However, you've only won the battle, not the war. I'll be back, and with vengeance!

People suck. Once you're out of high school and find a group of like-minded people, it all gets so much better. Count in your life the people who love you (including your fellow Questers) and to hell with the rest.

Well, to be honest, a lot of my friends right now are from high school. Like my best friend. She and I met in freshman year, about half way through. Now we're seeing movies all the time together. She goes to school only another t line away, so she's not too far from me. Which is great, because she and I share a lot of interests. One of them being King's Quest. It's weird though; she's one of the only girls in the group of girls I hang out with that didn't have a crush on me in high school. I've had like all my female friends practically throw themselves at me, and then I have to give them the unfortunate news. "It's not you, it's me. Honestly, it's me." *slap* "No, I mean, I'm gay." *Hug* "You're gay?! WOOHOO! I GOTS MESELF A GAY FRIEND!" ok, so it didn't actually happen like that, but whatever. But a lot of girls apparently like having gay friends. Go figure!

You should introduce her to us!  Or are you afraid we'll all scare her away?

That's right! And he's on MY side!

Wait, can mods wield POIsonous snakes against other mods?

I've told her numerous times to join the forums, but she won't do it. She knows I work for TSL, and she knows of the game, but still has yet to download the episodes. Something's got to be done about this. I've told her far too many times that she better join these forums. She'd like it here, and you'd like her, I'm sure. I just gotta get her over here... She's being stubborn. Very stubborn. She keeps citing lack of time and college work. We all know college isn't that hard...

He's not a mod, just a beta-tester... He has no powers on this forum. This is my battlefield!

I don't know if it was because I was homeschooled since 4th or 5th grade until this school year or what, but I am loving highschool so far.  I have a bunch of good friends (most of whom I have known for a while before school) and get along with most people (even though there are a lot of people who I don't really know that well, cause I just met a lot of people this year).  I'm pretty sure some people don't like me, but I don't care if they don't bother me.

people say everything gets better like after high school, so I guess either highschool gets worse after freshman/sophomore year or college will be amazing beyond my current comprehension.

or maybe I was just really deprived before, being  homeschooled.

kinda offtopic but whatever.

threaten to make her an account and impersonate her on this forum and make her seem really stupid.

Actually, I miss high school. Most people do say that High School was the worst four years of their lives. I'm the opposite. High School was among the best four years of my life. I can't attest to college much myself, or the future, as I'm only 19 and only a first semester freshman, but who knows. So far though I miss high school. Granted, I went to a really good high school. I was in a small special ed program (yes, I am a special ed student. Another surprise! I suppose I should enlighten you all now to my ailments... I have ADHD and OCD. YAY ME! ) and I had amazing friends, with whom I'm still friends with. I made one new friend so far at college, but not much else. I have gotten involved in my school's GSA, which is great, but I miss my high school GSA honestly...

High school was great! College was great too. And life after college has been pretty darn good as well.

Hmm...I suspect I am just a happy person.

(Although middle school SUCKED. Three years I want back at the end!)

Katie, I haven't met a soul alive yet who said they enjoyed middle school. If I ever do, I'm likely to beat them with a bat. Seriously, middle school was one of the worst experiences of my life.

[KatieHal]

One of my ex's loved middle school. Weird!

It makes sense. I mean, who isn't a jerk or weird or awkward or shy or figuring out boundaries, etc, when they're at that age span? And all the hormones are just starting to kick in!

there are a few 8th graders that are cool but even they are a little awkward or something. I'm only in 9th grade and I already kinda agree with this.

I was  homeschooled for middle school and as much as I disliked that, actual school might not have been any better.

[KatieHal]

Middle-schoolers are just...ugh. I mean, some can be nice, yes. I'm pretty sure I didn't make anyone's life hell in middle school, I'd be shocked to hear I had somehow. I was not what one would call popular by any stretch.

On the other hand, I learned from it, I'm stronger for it, and I'm a better person for it.

[dark-daventry]

Yeah I was never one of the popular kids in middle school, and frankly, I'm alright with that. Because being popular is vastly overrated. But I've also been on both ends of the bullying spectrum (yes, I regret to inform you all, I have been a bully in my time. But that was elementary school) and neither end is any fun in the long run. I would get made fun of for any various reason, not strictly limited to any one thing. For example, as strange as it may sound, apparently star trek wasn't the popular science fiction in middle school. During a field trip to cape cod (or as I call it, the field trip to hell.) We saw star wars episode 3. I walked out of the theater saying star trek was better And that it would return. Kids just looked at me funny like I had said something crazy. Admittedly, I kind of did. But in the end, star trek did return. I just wasn't able to see the look on their faces when it did...

And yeah, the whole hormone thing was not fun. I believe seventh grade was when I had first come out, first to my teacher, who was fine with it (speaking of which, I gotta email her and have lunch with her. She and I still keep in touch) and then I came out to my "friends" (or rather, I was the third wheel and they didn't care about me one bit) and they all said I was confused. I'm pretty sure I'm not confused.

Atec,  how do you like high school so far? I loved it, honestly. At least, once I found my current friends I did.
