Yesterday was awesome. :'D I'm still vibrating happiness. xD

It really is...

P.S.: Mom: I should have prayed to the ancestors for luck!
Grandma: How lucky can they be? They're dead.
GRANDMA DON'T TAKE NO SHIT. >:3
Mulan IS my childhood. /currentdisneyrampage /wootwoot
And I love your signature! :D

I know now all I am is a third wheel, an extra ^^

The HEAT was cancelled. We still had the final.

Same bro.

Hey. HEY.
My crush is nine years older than me, gay, a celebrity, and probably does not know I exist--literally. YOUR LIFE IS FINE.

Yeah, mine is 20, an actor, probably doesn't remember me because I only met him once, and lives in New York.

No, because that's a celebrity. It doesn't matter as much because you already know you'll never be with him...
But if you know him in real life, it's worse because you know you have a possibility but your failing because your a sucky person. Not because you'll never meet.

No you don't understand
he is actually the most perfect person ever and it sucks royal hippogriff that we're not married RIGHT NOW
Same--22, actor, I never met him, lives in LA. ;-;

No. It is worse to know them in real life.

kahvsgdfkabsdhjkadkbdklabsdkjasdcf *babbles incoherently* :D I love that song. SO MUCH. Oh my word, I want a guy to sing that to me one day, too! XD I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting something simple like that.

*le Beverly Hillbillies reference* They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. The way to MY heart is through lyrics. ;)

There are SO many historical inaccuracies in that movie but I DON'T CARE I LOVED THAT MOVIE SO MUCH WHEN I WAS LITTLE!!!!! :D

o_o When Mulan showed up in Once Upon a Time, I literally fell out of my chair.

AGAIN?

Good grief, bullies are stubborn, aren't they?

Mind if I ask what he did this time...? <:^J

Insults. Which you DO NOT want to know of.

Name calling, or just plain insults? <:^/ I've gotten called some pretty nasty names and got LOTS of insults thrown at my way. I know it's hard, but the best thing to do is to ignore them. And try to keep in mind this person isn't just being mean to be mean--most likely, he's got loads of problems at home, and the only way he can relieve himself of the stress and the sadness and the anger is to pick on others.

Also, like the Bible says, be kind to your enemy. ^_^ "For in doing so, you will heap fiery coals upon his head." Meaning, don't just ignore his insults, be KIND to him. If he really is just venting his own anger, there's a good chance your kindess will refine him like how hot coals refine raw metal ore. I made one of my most trusted allies in school that way. :) He started out the person that teased me the most, and then ended being the saddest person to see me leave.

Thanks for advice, Ash. :D You're a really GREAT friend. <:^J Can I have a plain old chat to you on A/N to relax.










Name calling. <:^/ AND he's in Grade 4. DDD:

My friend whose name is Alma is nicknamed 嫲嫲，because the last syllable of her name sounds exactly like the Chinese word (it means paternal grandmother)--Mama...not like muh-MAH, but...well...
My other friend whose real name is Circle is nicknamed 婆婆 (maternal grandmother) because Alma was kind of pissed off with her nickname at first (but now she addresses herself as thus--it's her first person) and wanted someone to suffer with her.
I was kind of pleased with the arrangement, but they started calling me 嬸嬸 (which is kind of like a really oldish aunt)
._.
Lol wut?

Hey, I just want to make things easier for kids who get bullied. ^_^ I went through it, it ain't exactly a stroll through the park, and I'd love to help cut down on the incidents. I hope things work out for you, Max. <:^J

Eh, name calling typically isn't as bad as direct insults...trust me, when/if bullies start mocking your family and friends openly, THEN it really starts to hurt. x_x

:D Here's a way to ease the pain of his name-calling: Come up with your own name for him, but make it wayyyy above his comprehension level. (Just don't make it TOO insulting to the point where if he asked a teacher what it meant, you'd get in serious trouble.) Try coming up with names by basing them off of books he'd never read--like, call him a Vermicious Feral (from the Willy Wonka books, "the Vermicious Knid," a rather unintelligent alien monster; "vermicious" menaing "worm-like" and "feral" meaning "brutal, having reverted to a wild state"). Or maybe use a Shakespearean insult, like calling him a Beslubbering Fustilarian or something. XD ("Beslubbering" basically means "drooling" and "fustilarian" means "someone lowly; a scoundrel".) It's fun to use Shakespearean insults because they sound so funny, and no one but you typically knows what it means. :3

Here's an example of how you might use these lovely nicknames:

Bully: Hey, [insert-insulting-name-here]. :mad:
You: ^_^ Hello, my Beslubbering Fustilarian!
Bully: o___o ... What did you just call me?! e_e
You: Oh, it's from Shakespear! :D It's a compliment.
Bully: What the heck does it mean?
You: Basically, someone awesome.
Your friends, who know what it REALLY means: XD XD XD
Bully: e___O ?!

The only drawback of using those kind of names is that (1) if they can find a smart enough adult to tell them what it means, they'll be mad, (2) if this kid is prone to physical violence, he may just decide to hit you for calling him something his tiny brain can't comprehend, -_- and (3) it's not exactly the nicest thing in the world. <:^J But it DOES make you feel better, sometimes. You don't even have to call him that to his face, just refur to him as whatever name you choose when you're venting/talking about him to your friends. It helps take away some of the tension and makes the bully seem smaller and less important in your life. ^_^

1. The Great Depression (that awkward moment when you spell it "the Great DERPression) only ended because of the war, unfortunately. <:^/ War = more jobs. And don't get me started on trying to explain the theories on how the whole depression was triggered on purpose, I don't even know WHAT to believe on that subject. x_x
2. I’ll be fine. I’ll find a job. Matthew 6:30-3 says, “If, now, God thus clothes the vegetation of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much rather clothe you, you with little faith? So never be anxious and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or, ‘What are we to drink?’ or, ‘What are we to pun on?’ For all these are the things the nations are eagerly pursuing. For your heavenly father knows you need all these things. Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom, and his righteousness, and all these [other] things will be added to you.” There are over 7 million baptized Witnesses in the world today. Very few of them, if any, are independently wealthy. Most have just enough money for food and a suitable place to live. As long as you keep doing God’s will, you will be taken care of, even if it’s just the bare essentials. The Bible also tells us not to be anxious about such things. “So, never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Sufficient for each day is its own badness.” – Matthew 6:34. And this isn’t just blind faith I’m going on. I have proof. My father and my mother did just fine. He’s told me time and time again about the instances where he was sure they were broke, but something good always came along in the end. I’ve heard the same stories from every brother and every sister I have ever had the pleasure to know. All I have to do is serve Jehovah, and I will be taken care of. Did I mention God even helps give you the strength to serve him “beyond what is normal”? So, any way you look at it…I’ll be fine. ^_^

But that’s not the whole point here, Camille. I will at one point sit down and seriously contemplate in what general direction I want my life to go. I just can’t do that right now. Plus, I feel very strongly against the topic of college. But, mainly, I know things will work out in the end, and I can’t deal with this stress right now anyway, even if I DIDN’T know.

Sandy…money doesn’t bring happiness. <:^J If it did, then why are millionaires so miserable? Why are wealthy doctors and lawyers and bankers so depressed? Studies have shown that there is a point where money stops insuring happiness (having enough food/water, a house, etc), and starts having to do with UNhappiness (stress over bank loans, dangerous stock investments, etc).

I’m glad you like French and Math. Those ARE useful tools in life, especially life in Canada. ^_^ I just hope your future job doesn’t conflict with enjoying your life.
O_O Never in my wildest dreams have I EVER considered basing my future career on writing. Reasons:
1.) The writing world has succumbed to the basis of greed. The writing business has become a cutthroat business. Only certain kinds of stories sell at the times of different fads. No one cares about the morality that used to be conveyed through writing. No one cares to visit faraway places through books. Books in themselves are decreasing in popularity as the human race degrades further. My point: NOT A STABLE CAREER CHOICE. At all. o_o
2.) Writing is my HOBBY. XD It’s something I do because I like it, not because I want people’s attention or I want some sort of momentary gain. Remember, Cass, if it weren’t for my dad dragging me out of my solitude and showing me this site, I never would have let my writing outside my circle of family and friends.
3.) o_o I don’t see my writing as WORTH that kind of money, anyway. You can’t put a price on personal enjoyment. It’s not on the same level of quality, anyway, so, why bother? XD

Well, Sandy, America is broken right now. <:^) You can’t move your butt to where there are opportunities because there are none to be found. All the gold has been mined. All the land has been settled. All the rivers have been fished. All the lumber has been chopped. We have to just make do with what we have.

I’m sorry you’re having emotional issues. I don’t know what they are, and you don’t know what mine are, so it’s a bit hard to gauge their severity. I can’t tell anyone on here about my problems at the moment. Suffice it to say, since April of this year, I have suffered three total emotional breakdowns, two panic attacks, realized my social anxieties are beginning to become a problem, and plotted out detailed revenge plans that everyone is fortunate I have my morality and my conscience to keep me from carrying them out. o_e

Like I told Camille, I’m not just going to bury my head in the sand and hide, Cass. <:^) I WILL choose a direction to go in when it comes to employment. I just can’t do that right now, right at the exact moment all these people are telling me to. I can’t. I just can’t. Google “I can’t GIFs” and every single one represents me.

I appreciate your concern. But right now, my point is, I’m just sick of people trying to force feed me their ideas and their rules. I usually comply for the sake of avoiding a confrontation, and, hey, sometimes, they have valid points! But right now, I just can’t comply with every little microscopic thing. I need my wounds to heal first. Every week, they get torn open again, every freaking Wednesday, but it’s almost over. If I can make it to December with my sanity intact, I can rest up, and then start considering career options and my future. Until then, I need these teachers to be quiet, I need my friends to stop talking about this, and I need my family to just be patient with me. x_x I'm not perfect.

Forget the future. I'm trying to survive the present.

Kerfuffles.

No. You aren't and we aren't.

Parents. Parents are evil. AGAIN and still.

GRRRRRRR I AM SO FRIGGIN PISSED.
So pissed. Seriously.
I hate my school.

12 year olds these days. -.- this one girl reminds me of this one user I won't name...bratty, selfish, tried to act like the victim, etc. *headdesk* oh, bad spelling and bad grammar too. DX

:D That song came on the radio and I started FLIPPING OUT. I turned it all the way up and rolled down my windows and was practically screaming the lyrics. I just love the part where it's like, "I wanna call you mine, wanna hold your hand forever, and never let you forget it." *dreamy look*

:\ I've been thinking about life and I realized a lot of things.
One, when someone says they don't care about you, it hurts, yet you feel kind of relieved because you don't have to worry about hurting them anymore.
Two, when you learn your a third/fourth/fifth/etc . . . wheel it also hurts, but you don't really care. As long as you have at least one friend.
Three, it also hurts to know your a second choice :\ In like, everything.

Yeah, it really hurts.
When, for once, I try explaining my emotional problems to you and all you say is whatever.

Bullied again today, Ash. ;_; I tried your advice. Oh man. This kid just won't damn stop!

D: I'm sorry, Max. This isn't fair to you at all. Ugh, he's the persistant type. They're the worst. <:^/ All I can say at this point is that the best thing to do is ignore him. Even if he doesn't go away, it will lessen his insults if you just treat him like he's not in the room.

:^< I don't know what's wrong with him. Everyone thinks he's a twit, sometimes my teacher does. :) But yeah, *sigh* I don't know.

Do you know anything about his family life? Does he have siblings? Most bullies are either pushed around by their older siblings, verbally or physically abused by their parents/guardians.

It DOES get easier to ignore bullies as you go along, you know. <:^J It's kind of like building up an immunity to snake venom. The more times you're bitten and you live through it, the easier the future bites will be to get over.

:^) I should just go with the flow.

Rolling with the punches IS the best way to go about being in public school. ^_^

^__^ I'll give it a try. :^D

:D I think I'm going to print this out and put it up in my room.

:D Do that. I think if I have that in my room A1 size, it would motivate me. XD

Vent. DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO. :)
 

Aw, sadness...
 

Wow. Bullying must really suck dude. I was in a play about it and it was so sad to hear what goes on in schools all across the world, that people actually commit suicide because of it. I mean, we can't do anything to force it to stop because some people will always be there to hurt someone in some way, some form. But we can help. For those who get bullied tell someone, don't be affected by it. But DON'T be mean back to them because you are giving them what they have wanted. Don't give them that bait. Seem not effected, calm, kill with kindness is the best phrase. If it rages on tell someone immediately, otherwise it sooner or later will get to you. If you are having bad thoughts on their part and what they have said , you NEED to tell, don't hold inside you. That will do nothing for you. I pray for those who are bullied and hope they know that they are loved by many and by one who could love you more than any multitude of people. Peace out!

I've never exactly been bullied, so I can't help you.
