Heh. I have a funny story about that actually. My stupid cousin texts all the time. So one day she gets bad poison ivy all over the face and has to go to the urgent care center. My mom asks here what heppened, and apparently my cousin was walking while texting, and not paying attention to anything around her. She then walks into a tree with a big thick poison ivy vine on it. The vine brushes her face, making it the stupidest case of poison ivy ever.
rest in peace, Ronnie James Dio! \m/

I've got a younger sister that always texts while walking from where her school bus drops her off to our house. Half the time, she's texting someone who was on the bus with her, just a few moments beforehand. >_> I'm sure this sort of thing has been addressed in this behemoth thread already so I will not rant on it, but this is why I don't like texting.

I don't like people who think that there's something wrong with being a nerd/geek/dork/etc. Look, I'm nerdy, I'm a geek, I like my computer, get over it. I don't tease you about liking skateboarding (much).

It's a little out now isn't it? Over here only the real diehards still bother with it, I used to but gave it up years ago.

Still on the subject, I must now find a reason why Topshop sold shirts that I said I Love Nerds, they must of been taking the piss. Yeah I think they were :P

One more thing I don't like, is people who constantly rant about everything, like you talk to them and they are just generally negative about everything, should lighten up a bit imo, especially people who just randomly attack things for like no reason, like "lollol thats crap why do you bother lololol", when nobody asks, and no, thats not in anyones direction here lol

There's still some kids that still play yu-gi-oh in my camp. Granted one of them thinks he is a super sayian...


I think I just killed my main argument
I haven't been here in awhile, and looking back it's one of the worst ideas I ever had. I'm back and I'll be here for awhile, I was quite active 1 year ago and I hope to become that again.

The hypes dide dwon, but were still out there :wink:

I hate kids, i cant stand them. Epecially ones who act tough and mouth off 'cos they're 'ard' when in reality they're half my height and if it wasnt for the police id gladly stomp them into the ground.

People who say 'sax-a-ma-phone' when they find out i play sax. Seriously getting old now people, its a saxophone.

People who ask questions about my hair

Small minded people who fear and mock anything thats even slightly different from them

This is a weird one, but i cant stand flourescent blue light used to illuminate things, to me its like they've gone "how can we make it look futuristic and cool? i know, blue light!" gah, failing species. But i do like bluey white light, so dont worry it confuses me too :lol:

What's wrong with your hair?
Is your hair a weird colour?
Why is it all spikey like that?
Why did you do that?
You know your hair isn't normal, right?

???

I actually like this. People leave you alone, don't mess with you (or even make eye contact unless they're really bold), and are generally good-natured towards you. Besides, it's one less thing for YOU to fear.

I always used to do that, until this year I got my ass kicked by a senior :( Haven't done it since. That was a major blow to my confidence. I went from the top of mount everest, to the plains of crappy, starving ethiopia.
