I guess the first thing that distinguishes me around here is that I'm a girl. Not the zia kind, the actual kind. I have European heritage, I'm 5'7", long hair, been a dancer my whole life and make weird faces sometimes. I came here through iNcontroL who is now teaching me how to play BW. His goal is to make me the best non-Korean girl. We'll see how that goes. I'm hoping to graduate from university this year. With a double major and a minor, we'll see how that goes too. I love animals, and I psychologically can't throw things away if they're recyclable. I get really mad when people trivialize rape and feel the need to contradict people who make claims they can't support. I' m on the speech team with Geoff and I can tell you all sorts of funny stories about him. He can also tell funny stories about me. I have OCD tendencies, but the silly kind, not the destructive kind. My parents separated this summer and it has been tough. I was part of the kind of family that that isn't supposed to happen to. (lawl, right?) I ended up pushing away a lot of people who really cared about me because I had to focus on family. Sometimes I wish I'd get a letter from God telling me what to do and when, so for just a few minutes I wouldn't feel so helpless. But then, what would be the fun in actually living life, right? I believe in joy (above happiness), I believe in hope (above realism), and I believe in love, even though it might kill me. More than you wanted to know? Too bad! 200 posts is not far away... | ||

I dont like it either, and reading threads like this is always a bit of a reminder to me that a lot of young people are incredibly self absorbed and almost never look at the bigger picture and it only leads to less-than well rounded adults with a chip on their shoulder from a life that they feel is unfulfilled. And the ones who find themselves to be smartest, most clever and original but always get overlooked are actually just cliche, smug and not very pleasing to be around.. People like that are pissed off in America because we are all fed the american dream but our education system isnt the thing that will get you there. Being a decent human being with good skills in networking and your area of interest(Be it film or law and anything in between) will though. Quietidiot is depressed because he cant make meaningful social connections, and he cant make those because he is kind of a shitty person(Hey I am judging via forum posts), especially his attitude towards others people being temporary. He wont last forever either, what binds us all is the human experience... Allow it to connect you to others or have fun being disconnected. It doesnt mean being a shell of a person either, you dont have to be fake or anything. All his dreaming and setting up for getting into the school he wants to go to(And probably many other things in his life) will only lead to failure as he is pre-thinking too much Even if he manages to get into his school it can only be failure there as he realizes it's nearly the same as every similar school or it fails to meet his expectations in some other way. Wisdom/hindsight corrects a lot of things for people, I think. They wont make the same mistakes in the future. I used to be a little like QuietIdiot and I am far from a success in any way.. But there are people who get things done in life and people who just talk about getting it done, the latter will never finish anything because they are too busy being worried and pondering what they will do to follow up a success. Thats cliche but people like Quiet make it so clear to me. You can only try to fix your mistakes in the future and keep trying your best! On topic with this thread... I got up at 4:30am yesterday to get on a fishing boat off the coast of california with a bunch of dudes for someones birthday, I spent the whole time seasick puking and got a little sunburnt due to being pale as hell. After that we BBQ'ed the fish we caught and it was semi-terrible, mostly due to me not wanting to have fish after feeling sick for hours. Even though I felt like shit nearly the whole day the people I was around still made it worthwhile and my overall feeling coming away from it was extremely positive and probably one of the best days ive had this year! | ||

I like Lostprophets, Taking Back Sunday, and other random bands. I play the piano and tennis. I guess I'm just a typical nerd.  I try to find things that set me apart from other's like me, but it's kind of hard with a math team that has some of the brightest people in florida. | ||

I have played about 8 years of starcraft (damn half my life is wasted to this addictingly amazing game). My dream is to just get into an aviation school. I love flying in the sky, it's so beautiful and peaceful compared to the ground. I have a G.P.A of about 3.2 (which needs to badly increase...). Most people who do know me think I am a smoker, stoner, and all of the other "druggie" groups. I however have never in my life touched alcohal, a ciggarette, or any kind of drugs. I do skateboard quite often (about twice a week, and I am fairly decent at it, got a few tricks down) I live about 20 minutes southwest of Washington D.C. in Virignia. I do track and I am on the debate team for my school. I used to train my friend in Starcraft, until he went to WCG with me in 2005 where he saw Nyoken and Theognis, and he quit, because he could not become professional (That was his dream while I was training him lol). I play poker and have won about $450 from my friends, all who still think they're better than me [/laugh]. I hope to just get a paying job when I am older, or become a commercial pilot through an aviation school (Air Force no thanks). My dad helps my gaming out, by allowing me to play, and he used to take me to WCG as I was younger. My mom however is totally against it, and would not even listen to me about how decent I have done. I have a tendency to flirt with girls, and never ask them out because I dont want to get into a relationship. And many of them stopped talking to me because of this. your dad is very kind man. is he? | ||

My name's Jean-Paul, most of my friends call me JP though. I'm 16 (or at least I will be in a month) and am currently in my 3rd semester at a local community college and will be transfering to the San Francisco Academy of Art in the spring. I'm honestly not as smart as most people think, I'm only in the position I am mostly because ever since my mother died my dad has become paranoid about him dieing and leaving me as an orphan. As a result he's been trying to get me to "grow up" asap which has caused him to be a lot pushier as far as my academics go, but everything's going smoothly so I'm not complaining. I'm not a very social person due to my lack of self-esteem which I've attributed to the fact that I was morbidly obese as a younger child. When I was 13 I was 5'8" and weighed 300 pounds, now I'm 6'0" and around 230 (thanks in part to some fitness threads that I saw here and some other forums) I'm still fat, but not morbidly so at least. I doubt anyone cares, but that's my story currently. | ||

I often reserve judgement till I know the in's and outs of an individual. IF I am a shitty person, I'd like to clarify for those beings. ...sorry for the paradox... romance_us please don't go there I don't want respect that way --; | ||
