Getting To Know You

[Matthew]

Sending messages to random people on facebook... even know I don't really know what you are suppose to say in a conversation after being like "how are you doing?"

[Cassie]

I just bring up something completely random. And more often than not, it works.

[E.J.]

._.
I read your whole story and your messages back and forth.
1st impression of Alec: DICK.
1st message: DIIIIIICCCCKK!
2nd message back now: O_o where did this come from...

[Matthew]

The worst part is I see them a million times a week...

[Matthew]

Yeah... so now I don't even know how to walk up to a person and say "hello"

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

I read you short bio, Matt, and I can't help but feel like I relate some. I ain't saying I know what you're going through. Just that I know what it's like to seethe with hatred at everyone sometimes. I know what it's like to get past the point of tolerance and snap. I hate drama even though all my friends make a hobby of it, and I don't know how to tell them all to stop being such whiny bitches without losing them all. Sad as it is, I still need them. For sanity's sake... If I could, I would close myself in solitude forever.
I am considered "socially awkward". A lot of people think me to be weird.
The guy I like... His friends think I'm a freak.

That's why we aren't together. -.-

[Matthew]

I am sort of slightly Paranoid.
I have some small anxiety issues.

[the sound of Autumn, Oh dear.]

You linger around a few feet away, turn your head over to them, and smile. Then, you say something small (eg. "it's really freakin' hot") and get their reaction. From there, you turn your body towards them, and make causal conversation ("What class do you have next?" "What's your name again?") From there, you keep talking back and forth. And viola! You have a conversation going!

[E.J.]

I might have paranoid marketed for me.... ._.
I MIGHT take stock of all exits in a room...
I MIGHT take stock of all weaknesses of people in the room, creating little folders of information for each person...
I MIGHT take stock of all makeshift defensive tools in a room...
I MIGHT run through scenarios of what to do if someone attacks me...
I MIGHT be paranoid. >_> <_<

I can't do that though. I just can't. I just can't force myself to.

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

I have difficulties. I can manage conversation but howdo you get out of really awkward silences? After my first kiss I endured the longest, most awkward awkward-moment ever. It was like a vacuum of silence.

[Beck (formerly Boo)]

........ I have awful advice, never listen to me.

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

:( I really need to know. Awkward moments ALWAYS arise for me.

[E.J.]

._.
I cannot leave an awkward silence.
DO NOT GET IN A CAR WITH JUST ME! EVEN IF YOU ARE DRIVING!
At least half of the time will be spent in silence as I ponder what questions I could ask without seeming to be rude or heartless if I ask the wrong thing...
like if i asked a drop-out how college was going.

[jueun]

OMG THAT'S TOTALLY ME. I CAN'T LEAVE AND THERE'S LIKE THAT AWKWARD SILENCE AND I'M JUST LIKE, "WHAT THE HELL DO THEY EXPECT ME TO DO THIS IS WEIRD." Like seriously awkward. T.T My friend just starts laughing in an awkward silence and I'm just like, "WHAT."

[Beck (formerly Boo)]

I am super-awkward. Like, I say things that make no sense. At all. If I ever say anything. But none of it really makes sense. If it's even audible, or slowed down enough to be understandable.

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

Well, this all makes me feel way better :D it's kind of a relief to think that maybe the other person thinks THEY'RE being awkward, and we're the ones who are judging them.

[Beck (formerly Boo)]

._. haven't thought of it that way.

[jueun]

:3 Wow.

So sorry :( I feel like my bio was way too happy now. Everyone seems to have a really rough life.

Is it just me...
or does fifth grade seem to be the time that everyone's life f***ing sucks and everyone feels alone and friendless?

Also, I'm sorry.
I wish there was a way I could make people's lives easier through GR, but unfortunately I'm STILL waiting for my Hogwarts letter...
it must've gotten lost in shipping or the owl fell into the ocean.

[▕ ▋ ♛ ▍Marisa]

Thanks guys!

[Beck (formerly Boo)]

Fifth grade was my favorite, even though Thad when I started having....... Certain things going through my mind ._.

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

I was probably the most popular in 5th. *Shrugs*

Nowadays I spend the majority of my school life owning the corners. My friends aren't the Jersey-clad golden kids with perfect yearbook photos. Usually they're a little more ragged and a little more foul-mouthed. They might be acne-speckled and every bit as misfit as I am, but I kinda adore them.

Lately, though, been feeling the pull. Me and "boy_friend" are getting closer, and he's one of the more loved-and-adored crowd. I have these new friends who are so-called cool, the kids who have tons of friends. They can do anything, go anywhere. They're immortal. It's like I'm standing on the threshold of an all-access pass to a uniquely popular high-school experience.

[▕ ▋ ♛ ▍Marisa]

At my school. The popular people are all assholes and no one really likes them.

[[deleted user]]

Oh. Here's my life story.

~Generally nice childhood, maybe a wee bit spoiled/fortunate, loving parents and sister
~I get to middle school and start to feel overshadowed by my sister
~My classmates treat me like a piece of crap and my supposed 'best friends' have no backbone so they just watch there
~No, scratch that, they're not my real 'best friends' because they tell me "calm down it's not a big deal" when I'm being bullied for Heaven's freaking sake
~Guy develops creepy crush on me, I cut all ties that I had with him after I find out that he's a jerk behind everyone's back
~I spend all of middle school not fitting in with anyone
~My summer is spent alone with my family
~High school starts
~Life is wonderful :)

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

So why are they always so popular? Something I've always wondered.

[Beck (formerly Boo)]

I'm nice to populars, but I'm sort of a pushover. Like, I'll smile and mutter something as a greeting and some roll their eyes and some ignore me and some even smile back. Not enough to be really noticed, though.

Sounds like a fairly nice life :3

That's generally the same thing that happens to me. The only fraction of fame I've retained is for being strange.

[Beck (formerly Boo)]

Same! Everybody knows me as the ferret-girl. And my hair... Oh lord. I'll also do anything gross, degrading, etc.

[jueun]

Huh. Everyone knows me as the-girl-who-bit-Joshua-in-fifth-grade, the-girl-who-has-interesting-stationary-and-guys-like-to-steal-them-and-see-how-long-it-takes-her-to-notice, and the-girl-who-laughs-too-much. I'm basically a very well-known person in my school. -.-

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

I'm notoriously brave and kind of bad-ass... Which is thumbs-up, I believe. But also incredibly shy. I think that's why the "boy_friend" is kind of pissed at me right now... I'm too nervous to approach him in front of his friends. Hell. I'm hardly comfortable talking to him alone, either.

Popular?

[jueun]

Ha! Sucks though. Sometimes I'll end up yelling at my boyfriend in front of his friends with a faux-problem. Gets his friends every time. I've lost my shyness. People think I'm like one of the party people. Believe me. XD

[▕ ▋ ♛ ▍Marisa]

I just need to swallow my pride (or what's left of it) and talk to the idiot guy who doesn't understand what "Do you like me?" means. -.-'

[jueun]

Not POPULAR. I'm not really on the popular side. Popular is like being able to play sports and look pretty at the same time. For example, Alana. She's pretty, nice, and she plays a bunch of sports. She's a popular person. I'm mainly one of the well-known people around school. People know me, and I'm not those no bodys. But I'm not that popular girl gossiping about. I wouldn't really call me popular. Some people do. Some people don't. Depends on how you look at it. :/

[Beck (formerly Boo)]

I don't have a bf.

[Beck (formerly Boo)]

Or any relationship issues (worth sharing *mutters*) at the moment.

[Cheyenne, Impressive, Star Fox]

Lucky

[Beck (formerly Boo)]

I'm only in 7th grade.

[▕ ▋ ♛ ▍Marisa]

Sevie!!!! YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF US AWESOME PEPLE!!! *shunning Boo* JK. But seriously. At my school, being a "Sevie" might as well be a capitol offense. Everyone hates the "Sevies"

[the sound of Autumn, Oh dear.]

Boo *Loki/Avengers Fangirl!*(Miss Mischief) wrote: "I'm only in 7th grade."

AH HA! So YOU are a clone of ME, since I am older than you are! Case solved.

[jueun]

Lucky. I broke up with my bf. Or actually he did with me. -.- Like 2 months ago?

[▕ ▋ ♛ ▍Marisa]

I've never had a BF....

[jueun]

What's a Sevie? :/

[▕ ▋ ♛ ▍Marisa]

Slang term for seventh grader. It's typically used as an insult but some strange people use it as a term of endearment for the seventh graders.

[jueun]

Seriously? Wow.

[the sound of Autumn, Oh dear.]

Oh, we just called 7th graders "scrubs".

[Beck (formerly Boo)]

Omgaaaaaa, I'm usually a sevvie not a sevie. ^.^ I usually am called that in band, but us baritones are ALL AWESOME.
