Please share?
I'm quite bored, and I have nothing to do.
Please enlighten me?
What do you do when you are bored?
Play Brawl+. :D
Or write fan fiction. Or programs.
Come to think of it, I'm hardly ever bored.
I head over to TV Tropes or deviantART if I have access to the computer. If not, then sometimes I play video games or look over my notes for my books/fanfics. Usually the TV is on for background noise, but sometimes it's the radio or CD player if there's nothing interesting on.
Taunt HNS about his poor choices in schooling/career/jobs/being a nowhere man/etc
Seriously.... Wanting to take a video game design major and at the same time claiming to know next to nothing about computers?! tsktsktsk :P
Nah, I'm just messing around, don't take it too personally now.
In all seriousness, I just close my eyes, take a drink of the vapor and just zone out into my own little world.

At least I don't go out and get drunk and high.
Yeah, you don't get out AT ALL. :P
Besides, this stuff helps deal with social problems. Would help loosen up a few of your restrictions. No need to be scared out of your mind of the outside world :P
Ask pyrgus how cool a guy I am in person.
he is pretty chill.
But methinks you guys shouldn't fight.
get your wisdom teeth pulled
Don't make me separate you two.
Post something political for your Facebook status to get people to argue with you.

He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else,
Lends you a hand.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man please listen,

Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.

You can take a long walk on a part of the city you have neer been before.

You know, a better way to deal with social problems would be to TRY and be social, JQ.

Who says I haven't man? I'm just saying this stuff helps bring down all the barriers that prevent you from reaching out and getting along with people. LOL I wouldn't expect you to know what I'm talking about, considering you're pretty antisocial yourself :P
When did I say I was? I have a lot of friends, and I hang out with them a lot. Of course, however, I don't need to to use drugs to do so, which makes me more social than you, apparently. :P
Yeeeeeeeaah, then you're lucky. You don't have all the baggage BS that people have to deal with in order to be social. However, I can certainly say that a lot of people just close up until they're like a clam. It takes a certain helping hand to push down those walls. Hell, afraid to go out and ride a bus?
...How?
Since you're not in college yet, I don't expect you to relate to the experiences that can foster an isolationist attitude and a social attitude. My first semester of college, I didn't know where to go, no idea how to make friends. Then in my second semester, I transferred to another school and was able to make a lot more friends, I was more familiar at how not to behave in public. I also tried weed for the first time and that really helped mellow out my anxieties. I had a really good friend over there too. Now I'm in my fourth/fifth semester (first semester at first college didn't really count) and I find myself becoming more and more comfortable all the time. I'm even helping Pyrgus considerably with adjusting to the new life of college.
Some of us had problems, some of us still have problems, but I took initiative with my own stuff and got two cochlear implants, one for each side, and that helps considerably in being social. You see, it takes a combination of efforts, not just drugs, but people and tools in order to break down that barrier. I can see that a certain somenbody had a lot of trouble with his first year in college and after all that stuff, I can see why he's reluctant to go back and move on with his life. But sometimes, people have got to move on and grow, otherwise they'll never grow out of their shell. That's what I'm trying to do here, help the lot of you get an understanding.
I don't expect you to know what the hell I'm talking about, but that's just fine. Just understand that progress has to be made and these fears of interaction need to cooled down until you as a human being, become ready to go outside again with a new outlook on life. Humans are by nature, social creatures.
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there.
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind there.
Ooh then I suddenly see you,
Ooh did I tell you I need you
Ev'ry single day of life?
You didn't run, you didn't lie,
You knew I wanted just to hold you,
And had you gone, you knew in time
We'd meet again for I had to hold you.
Ooh you were meant to be near me,
Ooh and I want to hear me,
Say we'll be together ev'ry day.
Got to get you into my life.
What can I do, what can I be?
When I'm with you I want to stay there.
If I'm true I'll never leave,
And if I do I know the way there.
Ooh then I suddenly see you,
Ooh did I tell you I need you
Ev'ry single day of my life?
Got to get you into my life.
Got to get you into my life.
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there.

What are you doing to my life?
Yeah...
Not everyone is naturally good at making friends. I'm generally a social person, but I get uncomfortable in situations rather easily. Unfortunately, being a socially awkward person does not help you out in life.
Since going to college I have been really depressed, and I think about jumping out of windows all the time. It is a totally different environment and the only people I know okay are my room mate and one girl who I've sort of made friends with. But it isn't the type of friendship that I feel comfortable confiding these things to. College can change you. I think you all would know me as a very happy, jovial person, but I am miserable all the time here. The highlight of my day is when I get to get online and talk to you all.
Seriously, the only reason I haven't killed myself is because JQ talks to me. I feel better talking to him. Which is probably one of the reasons I don't hate him like a lot of you do. He has helped me get through every single day of my life since March.
I am making good grades in school and I have a lot of people who think they are my friends, but no one knows how miserable I am except for him.
I'm not going to lie, I have been under the influence before (while in college-which was the first time I have done that) and it has helped me feel a bit better. I stress out because I don't have anyone with me here that I totally trust, and it calms me down. It helps me relax and keep my mind off of other things.
I do not approve of myself doing that, I never have, but it is better than the alternative.
*I am in no way advocating doing that either.
JQ, not everyone thinks that risking permanent brain and/or liver damage is worth having a good time. If you can't start respecting that about me and keep on suggesting that I should do drugs or drink to loosen up around other people, then I will start reporting you to the mods for harassment. Actually, I would appreciate it if you butted out of my offline social life altogether. I'm doing fine on my own; I don't need your "help."
Thing is, brain damage on weed is nonexistant. And for alcohol, the really big problems with brain and liver damage occurs primarily with really heavy drinkers, which I am not. Alcohol is a dangerous drug, a wonder and mystery why it's still legal even after eclipsing damage from all other drugs (aside from tobacco) COMBINED.
I just find it weird that time one of our members said he lived in your town and you refuse to see him, even though he shares quite a few interests as you. You may want me to butt out and all, but I for one do not like seeing a friend be dependent on his parents and not going to school or anything. Listen to what Pyrgus just said, you trust her, don't you? You aren't even willing to have an idle talk about life or anything, which I find more than a little sad.
If you play the game of life, don't play it by the rules of fear, play it by the rules of intellect and research. You're a smart man, HNS. But if you keep living with your parents and remain dependent on them, how does that make you any different from a kid who stays in his parents house doing drugs until he's in his late 20s? I at least am going to college and moving on with my life. I don't want to go back home or deal with that BS anymore. It's just there's a threshold where you have to change your life around, or risk being stuck in that rut for a long time.
I'm a disabled man, but do I let that hold myself back? No. I didn't like how much my parents kept pushing me out, but I'm grateful that they did. At least now I can be my own person. Do you want to be your own independent person, HNS?
Chances are, your parents have been egging you on about moving on with your life. Chances are that they're even more concerned than I am about your future. Know that I do this because I care. I care about you, I tease you because I care about you man. And you're just brushing it off, as if it's not a lesson worth hearing...
I don't need to hear it from you, especially considering that your best advice is to go out and get drunk and high. If you really care about me, you wouldn't continuously suggest I do something you know I have absolutely no intention of ever doing. Now DROP IT.
Seriously, guys. Cut it out. I feel like crying.
It is way too late at night to be arguing about this stuff, and that's probably the one thing that we all need the most, which is why we are so cranky! In fact why am I even here at this hour? I should be asleep! I'm part atheist and I have church tomorrow! Come on guys! Pull yourselves together and make up, otherwise drop the keyboard and go to bed!

I like cheese. It's good on sandwiches.
