^ I'm glad you came back.
Have to agree this is one of the much nicer corners of the internet. I have never found a community on the internet as good as this one is, even if it is getting quieter. Tumblr is close, I have made a couple friends there too, but the vastness of the site, with its mix of trolls, makes it a bit difficult to form friendships with other people.^ Ah, really? That's good to know someone likes my rambling.
I would love to hope that one day you can have more positive days than negative ones. Rocking back and forth between those emotions can't really be good for you.
That's a good start, mate.
Imagining this in a Scottish accent is absolutely hilarious. :bigsmile:
What's a "lock-in"? Up to you if you want to go, but it sounds like a nice opportunity to meet a few new people.
"Oi, mate, why dontcha go'n get yaself f**ked, right?"
^ Basically a group of people is held hostage for one whole night and forced to interact with one another. Heh, not totally, but it's really just a get-together with a bunch of people where you play games, watch a movie or two, talk with your friends, eat, etc. (Doors are closed and locked at a certain time -- from the outside, you can still get out, just can't come back in.) My school had one every year, and every year I'd go just because I was on Yearbook club. We sponsored it and did the concessions and everything, so it was a huge money maker for us, and you'd be surprised how many people hate working. I always picked up the slack. I didn't always mind it so much, because then I wasn't wandering around bored. (I hated the overnight thing though, I was exhausted by morning and the next day I'd do nothing but sleep.) When I was hanging out with friends it wasn't too bad, but I hated being around huge groups of people, so I normally just hung out in the hallways where it was quieter, and if my brother was around we would kill some time playing air hockey.What's a "lock-in"?

^ Yeah I've endured them before, they can be agonizing after a while, which is why I would not stay all night at all. Just a few hours. I still haven't made up my mind whether or not I want to go.This sounds like my idea of a perfect nightmare. "Here we're going to stick you in an awkward social situation for an entire night and you can't get out of it without looking like a complete idiot!" Noooo, thank you.
(I'm assuming this is an overnight thing?)
Watch movies? Play air hockey? Play games? This actually sounds like a lot of fun, especially when held at a school. It would still be unnerving, but if you had the right group of people with you, I think it'd be fun.
^ Yeah it can be fun, but like you said with the right people. I'll have my guy friend, and probably his cousin, with me but they're both pretty social people so guaranteed they'll be off talking and hanging out with others while I just follow like a puppy not saying a word.Watch movies?
