Title: Perception


Kaden - December 11, 2006 02:17 AM (GMT)
Well, there’re many members on FEW that have a false appearance. This appearance can be brought on by posts, conversations over IM, sig content, and anything that allows them to make contact with other members on the forum. Because of this, I thought I’d make a topic where one can explain what they’re like in real life (personality wise) as compared to on the forum, and how they wish they could act differently. Thus, this person has a chance to change how they are perceived on the forum. (I know someone will end saying “I don’t care what other people think about me,” so let me just say this now. End that crap, if people hate you, they’re gonna ignore you and make nasty comments aimed at you, which WILL affect you whether you admit it or not.)

Personally, I think I am viewed very differently on the forum than I am in real life. On the forum, at times I’m a laid back jokester who doesn’t care what’s going on, while when I’m in a bad mood, I can be a total pain in the ass. However, these two are often balanced out by boredom, during which I can try to post topics to help the forum, get shut out, and become angry. It’s a vicious cycle… with two steps.

The problem with me is, in real life, I’m mostly a kind, caring person. I have little to no life outside of school, not because I have no friends, but because I like personal time. I don’t enjoy spending hours on end being at a friends house playing video games because time seems to slow down, making it seem like one round of a game takes forever. I’d rather enjoy three hours of what seems like one hour of playing music, than what seems like six hours of playing halo with friends.

Because I have no life other than school, I have a lot of time to think. I have time to think about things. This time I think, leads me to good and bad things. On the good side, I spend hours thinking about life, and what I want to do with my life, considering the fact that I’m only granted one. Negatively, I spend time judging things, everything. I end up judging people, all of my actions, political issues, all of that. Sometimes, this can get me in a bad mood, and because of all the time I’ve had to do this, now I’m becoming a bitter person.

All the time, when I’m thinking about what I want to do with my life, I think about things like everyone else does. I’m not like other people though. Sure, I blend into the rednecks, emos, druggies, nerds, preps, I blend in almost everywhere, but that’s not what I want. You all know that small group of kids, that is kind to everyone, but not necessarily liked by everyone? That’s one of the few places I don’t fit in. I get closer and closer, but I never reach that place. It’s my personal asymptote. I’d rather be nice to all, and liked by few, than liked by all and nice to none. Catch my drift?

That’s how I want to be perceived, how ‘bout you all?

How I'm perceived here:
Arrogant, annoying, supal33tAZN

...

I really don't know since I don't really think about it.

On the other hand, I know how I'm perceived in RL. X_x

There are two categories. APEX Students and non-APEX students.

This is APEX. (Link)

APEX students know I'm a dumb and a lazy procrastinator who normally doesn't know anything. I should probably die because school and grades are such serious buisness and I probably don't take it as seriously as I should.

Non-APEX students, on the contrary, think I'm a genious and a hardcore geek.

Both of them know I have a passion for CS: S, am a pretty big gamer, have no life, and am shy. >_>;

I have to disagree. If people in real life insult me I care, I'm not personally affected by what they think of me. But while I don't think I've ever really been in danger of social alienation, I do pay attention to what people think of me, because how people think of me affects how they treat me and that affects my life on a practical level.

No one on FEW can affect my actual life in any way whatsoever. Why would I care what any of you think of me? I enjoy being on forum communities because it forces me to communicate and interact primarily through writing rather than speaking, so (I assume) it keeps some sort of basic writing brain muscle excercised and active. Additionally, there are often people with interesting opinions who I can bounce ideas off of. Sometimes a random person will catch an event not focused on in the media.

As for myself...I feel like I mainly come across as longwinded on the forums. In real life I'm a much more laconic person, and I tend to be extremely cynical. I'm not at all optimistic about the world, but I do try to help out with community service and the like because I enjoy encountering the people who need help.

I'm actually really close to my parents, though we don't spend much time together besides at the dinner table. Both of mine are really intelligent, interesting people who I like talking to, and have never made me feel like I need to be something I'm not.

Although I don't know what I'd write about, I'm seriously considering a proffession as a writer because that and science (particularly biology) are the only two fields I think I'm any good at.

It's ok if you're shy. <3 I love you still. I think I'm coming to your hometown for spring break too! :) I'll meet you B)

uhh it depends

for people who don't know me, i'm kinda shy i guess...

for my friends, I'm a genuine asshole, I like to fuck around a lot of times, I've got a pretty short temper, you don't fuck with me cause I wouldn't hesitate to knock your teeth out (unless they're way bigger)... uhh.... pretty funny guy, fun to be around for the most part

Kaden - December 11, 2006 03:46 AM (GMT)
So far, I can see that in a way, people always have something they want to change about the way they act, and I don't blame them. Everybody's got bad traits, which is why I try not to be hard on myself. However, it does make me mad when people act all high and mighty, so I tend to put them down to bring them to the level of everyone else. I wish I could not do that. >>

As for my profession, I wouldn't mind being a musician, artist, or writer, all come to me pretty easily ('cept writing... and art...) and are fun. I unno. Oh well.

And at Hiei... LMFAO... you own.

Lades - December 11, 2006 02:20 PM (GMT)
Well, I don't have a clue how you people percieve me, and that's really your own opinion. Perceptions are based on the other person's view. However, I will briefly describe my Non-FEW lifestyle.

I'm a highly intellectual, crippilingly shy guy. I hide behind a stony expression, and if I don't know you, you won't get a word outta me. I tend to sleep in every class, and comehow pull various grades of passing after each semester. I'm a hardcore gamer, and I live to play RPG's and strategy games, though I need more action oriented now it seems. I'm a songwriter, and focus on writing rock and punk, the music genre I prefer. I read books when I can, but I read through them so quickly that it's almost a waste now, as the story is over far too quickly. I'm a technophile, and hate the natural world. The closest thingh I could imagine paradise to be is that huge city world from Star Wars. Having made that comment, you can tell that I do posess some...geekish traits, albeit not a large amount. And although I know it to be a contradiction, I'm both the friend that'll stand by you through hell, and also the one that'll crush you if you cross me. Generally though, I care for my friends deeply, and I'll fight for them.

My personality on first appearance though? Generally, people view me as a cold loner, and don't give me a second thought. Those that know me will tell you that I'm generally sensitive and ready to help, as long as it's in my interests. I'm ambitious, determined, and driven to achieve my dreams, and I'll never stop reaching for them. I'm a smartass of epic levels, and have a corrupted sense of humor around my friends.


Well...that should do for me. B)

sara13987 - December 11, 2006 07:03 PM (GMT)
I don't know how I'm perceived either way. I know I act differently here than IRL, but I still don't... understand how people view me.

I suppose I might as well describe myself IRL. I don't fit into any standard high school stereotype. I'm... fairly intelligent (contrary to all appearances otherwise), am involved in almost all available female sports, and I just try to be nice to everyone. Like Kaden, I'm not very social outside of school, as I don't tend to get enough down time to get me rested up. I have a fairly large circle of female friends (literally only one guy in the group) whom I can talk to, but it's pretty hard to talk to people I don't know. However, I've opened up a bit in the sense that I can speak to most some guys without making myself look stupid, and talk to most girls in my grade or younger with ease. I try (but don't always succeed) to only judge people on how they act around me, meaning that I don't dislike many people. If someone I know is feeling sad, I'll try and cheer them up, but I usually won't bend over backwards to do so (unless they're extremely close to me). I've been described as everything from a brain to a jock to a sweetheart. I don't even know. :/

Does that help any? :/

Puff - December 11, 2006 09:24 PM (GMT)
Huh. On FEW I've gotten more laid back, methinks, than when I joined. I mean, still hyper and I love RI, but I've been turning more towards LUE; throwing out views that about 75% of FEW doesn't agree with (And you know it'd true, just look at previous topics in LUE).

There's not really a difference between "FEW" me and "real" me. It all depends on who I'm around, I guess. I'm loud and obnoxious, but I'm also EXTREMELY shy. I know it doesn't make sense, but it's try. There are still some people - on here and at school - that I've known [of] for a long time, but I'm still afraid to talk to them. Example, Grondy. I've talked to him, what? 2 or 3 times? He intimidates me... I guess that's the word.

One difference though, between me as a FEWer and me as a... school... er. :blink: That is: boys. At school, I absolutely hate them, and I ignore them (save 3 - CJ, Kevin, and Kreig. Maybe another or two) at all costs as much as I can. In my "bisexual" group of friends, and some other little groups I'm in, I'm perceived as the lesbian. However, on FEW, most of you guys rock. Hard. I literally probably go into withdrawls when I don't talk to some of your for awhile.

I don't really have a life outside of school because grades control my very being. As of the second "half-way" report card (Interim), I have five B's and two D's. I can bring one of the D's up any time I want. But I'm not, 'cause I'm procrastinating like that. But the other one, I can't do crap about. It's for creative writing, and Mrs. D. is the pickiest teacher ever. She hates everything I do, so continuing that class is a waste. I don't need it, nor want it.

Other than grades being all "rawrrr"... My other problem is that my good friend is a JOCK (XD). Basketball and track. So she's consumed in practice for those seasons... which is practically all year. And she also has babysitting. So I'm stuck at home with homework and FEW.

And I'm getting of track... Umm. Tch. I like, like, long walks on the beach. And like, shopping until, like, my feet hurt. Then like, getting, like, a massage. And like, Oh my God! Socks to do NOT go with SANDALS.

Ahaha. Ignore the italic portion. Puff was being an asshat.

In real life, at school. A LOT of people hate me, especially all the "Dude! I'm the shit!" people (sterotypically, the black people and the wiggers... and most, if not all, preps), because I laugh when they try to "roast." Like, there's this one guy in my homeroom, I'll do/say something and he'll be all like "tch! i will flme u!" I'm all like "Do it! Do it NOWWW!" He's all like "tch! maaann.. u big p'tato lookin' head ass." And I'm all "^____________^ I like potatoes! Especially mashed with gravy. *Gasp* Oh! Today is Thursday! Mashed Potato day!" I win. Everytime. And yes, that really happened one Thursday. It was GREAT!

Anyways, they also hate me because I'm usually one of the really smart people. Or I'm really loud in class and just don't shut up. I'll blurt things out randomly or ask a mound of questions, and some people (friends) will laugh, and the others will be all "Tch. Uuuuugh. You need to shut up." under their breath. It's great fun... for me.

:lol: Hah. And I've been rambling, sorry about that.

That's another thing about me, I explain things in great detail if I feel the want to do it. Either boredom or interest in the subject. Right now it's boredom and procrastination.

Around my friends, I have different types of humor... sometimes dark, sometimes dry, sarcastic, snappy, etc... I thin kit depends on who I'm around, though. As it does with anyone. But that's a different debacle, methinks.

SpiralStatic - December 11, 2006 10:50 PM (GMT)
Well, I don't know how I'm viewed here, but IRL, I'm the lovable asshole type. I thrive on pissing people off, in good fun of course, but it's damn near impossible to hate me. I'm also a smartass, and my favorite line is "stupid people are funny"

I'm really good at making stupid people feel stupid. I happen to be very blunt as well. People will say some dumb shit like "people shouldn't have abortions, they're babykillers." And I just have a field day with 'em. Now I'm not saying I'm against people with anti-abortion sentiments, not at all, but people just need to think about what they're saying, lest they sound like utter retards. When it comes to friends, I'm the guy who won't sugarcoat the truth with ANYONE. I'm also the guy who makes the perverted joke whenever, and I mean WHENEVER, there's an opening. I'm pretty perverted like that, and I'm always the one making the jokes.

I also happen to REALLY hate fake people, and elitist clique people, so I hang out with the "losers", who generally happen to be the REAL cool people. So yeah, that was just me ranting about myself. Generally though, I'm the guy who pisses you off yet you can't bring yourself to hate. Unless you piss me off, then I will MAKE you hate me.

Puff - December 11, 2006 10:57 PM (GMT)
Reyde, your speech about yourself reminded me of a Dominican/Jamacan guy in my english and math class. He doesn't talk much in those two classes, but when he does, it's mostly jokes... I wish he'd talk more. :( Oh well... Yeah, just thought I'd tell you that. :mellow:

... I just tried to think of his name... Greg? I think... I can't remember it right now to save my life...

Juan - December 11, 2006 11:25 PM (GMT)
How do people view me on FEW? I could care less. IRL I am very quite and I don't like to talk much, when I am around people I don't know. But when I am with my friends I am as loud and obnoxious as a person can get. I am very shy around new people. I am the guy in the back saying "Why the hell am I in this god damn class" I almost never do my homework and alway manage to pass with a decent grade. I am pretty tall for a mexican, and you will always see me with at most 2 friends, I don't like having a lot of people around me for some reason. I am a "loveable person" as some of the girls I know would say, Some of the guys I hang out with would call me crazy and outgoing. As for the 'Gangstas' They view me as a punk someone who has betrayed thier race by not joining any gang and by listening to rock. To the preps I am an asshole, I get into shoving matches in the hallway with some of the wrestlers and football players in my school. and for all the others who don't know me they view me as a shy person with nothing to say.

Karn - December 11, 2006 11:37 PM (GMT)
Hmmmm. I don't really think I'm percieved here any different than I am at school. Most people view me as the smart guy that sits in the back of the room. People always think of me as really intellectual, because I'm not one for small talk. A lot of the time I take things seriously that people did not mean so, going into a philosophical discourse about a joke, or something alont those lines. However, at other times I can be the most random and outspoken person, again throwing people off and making me seem weird or unapproachable. I have a group of about 5-6 close friends, and I spend practically all of every weekend over at one of their houses. I'm definately not a homebody. I've had the same close friends, more or less, since 4th grade. I'm a very objective and unbiased person in general. People often see me as cold and robotic.

Valter - December 12, 2006 01:04 AM (GMT)
I'm stupid, random, and crazy in real life too. I act like I do in real life just like I do on the forum.

What's there to BMS? First of all he doesn't refer to himself in the third person. Seriously, I'm not nearly as self-absorbed as I act on the forums. In real life I'm probably the "Lazy, procrastinating, video game type." (I just noticed I'm wearing my 'Procrastinators UNITE! Tommorow...' shirt) I always get the work I'm supposed to get done, done on time but I always stress myself out because I wait until the last half an hour to finish all my work. At my job (which is really the only social interaction I get) I act loud and obnoxious and am hated by all my bosses. I find I'm constantly insulting myself to garner laughter and attention and that insulting myself is the only way I can talk to women period. I'm definetly not an ideal person to be. In fact I'd go so far as to say I'm rather worthless...I don't do my job I act like a pansy and I'm not all that good-looking. (I'll post a pic sometime so you can all agree.)

Anyway's that about sum's me up......It's hard to go back to being BMs after posting that.

Esgalglinion - December 13, 2006 06:42 PM (GMT)
You people generally don't see me at all, even less talk to me. Which is because of the timezones, but also because I usually just don't hang around the net for too long. Either I do schoolwork (or try to at least), or I play games that take up my time.

In real life? You see me as the guy in the back that SHOUTS for attention, which I probably don't get, because people ignore me anyways.

And people don't ignore me because I'm annoying, but because they don't think I have anything important to say.

I was bullied during 6 of my 9 elementary to middle school years by various people for absolutely no reason other than my parents were teachers, which turned me into someone who tried to insult people back to let off steam. Because I couldn't understand why people "hated" me, I thought I had a weird personality, so I changed around alot to see which "me" they liked the best. Unfortunately, people got a decided opinion about me, so it was difficult to change my position in society.

Because of those years, though, I ended up having a large amount of personalities I could use, which made me being able to adapt to most conversations, and not to mention lie well.

I lie. A lot. So much that most people can't tell whether I lie or not. As a matter of fact, my whole family's on my mother's side is known to be liars. My grandmother lied, my mom lied, and most of my siblings lie (my sis even lied in radio once, which we bring up over and over again).

As I mentioned earlier, my time gets taken up by schoolwork or gameplaying. The fact is, I usually don't do schoolwork, Heck, I try not to do work at all. I mean, I have the books up and pencil in hand, but I don't actually do the work. My mind drifts off, and I usually end up doing nothing at all. Which brings me back to another point.

I'm horribly lazy. And not "pathetically lazy", but "intellegently lazy", meaning I usually don't complain when I get assigned to work, because complaining takes up time and energy.

There's a lot of points about me you should probably get to know about, but well, we don't talk a lot, so you probably don't care either. That's me, in a nutshell.

Or is it? Maybe I'm lying.

Lionheart - December 14, 2006 12:04 AM (GMT)
I'll probably be horrible at explaining, because I've never really been able to..

First of all...My real name is Jordan.

Overall..I try to be nice to everyone, but it is hard because I have slight anger issues, which I normally can hold back and control rather easily, because I end up getting mad at myself after getting mad at someone else. And I'll get mad at people for the absolute stupidest things. When I hear people saying anything about me, it hits me more than you would ever imagine. I'll either get extremely upset or extremely pissed depending on what it is. I'm not afraid to admit when I'm mad, but I often attempt to avoid doing it. I'll normally be willing to be nice and/or be friends with absolutely anyone, even those not like me at all. Overall, I say that at a normal time, I'm more nice than mean.

Most people that see me would classify me as the preppy, jock type. I'm not exactly preppy though..But I have the apperance of it. About the jock thing...I'm in love with sports. A lot. I'm taking a break from school sports though for my sophomore year, and I may go back to wrestling like I did in Jr. High next year, but I'm still not sure. I'm done with football it looks like.

I tend to get too many girlfriends very quickly. Not bragging, so don't say I am...Just a little added fact.

There are many things that I like to do. I can usually keep myself entertained when needed. At home, if I feel I'm getting bored, I'll simply pop in a good video game, or pick up the guitar and practice a little. I'm currently going through the rough spot of a starting band. We pretty much already have guaranteed shows next year if we get good enough....I know the promoter guy pretty well. Over the weekends, I almost always go to the local shows on Fridays, then Saturday, I have a bowling league (Which I've done since I was 5 (170 average)) Then I'll usually spend the night with my girlfriend or something else like that. I'm almost inseperable from a small group of buddies, so I'll be with them a lot, and skate around the city, jam out, play Madden, or just do whatever.

I live in Altoona PA, and I'm a sophomore at AAHS (Altoona Area High School). I played varsity football and varsity wrestling at Roosevelt Jr. High School, but as I said earlier, I have no plans on going back to football, but maybe wrestling.

I gave about as much info as I can think..If you need to ask anything...feel free.


PS...According to what most of you seem to think, I do have balls. Meet me and tell me to my face (:

Somewhat new.

On FEW I don't know how I am percieved, but I would guess that I seem boring and not very interesting or funny since that is how most of my posts are.

In real life I am much more talkative. I have one great friend that I hang out with pretty much every weekend, the only thing that sucks is we don't have classes together. Other than him I have lots of friends, it's just that none of them I would consider extremely solid friendships since I don't spend free time with any of them. I hope to change that when I get a car, but we'll see how that works out. When I am around people I know I am very talkative, but I have a harder time talking to new people. I am getting better at that though. I am a freshman in high school now and I have met TONS of new people. That is because my middle school combines with another middle school to make one big high school and the class size doubles. So far I think it's been mostly postive since I'm meeting new people, but some of my friendships are lessening since people are splitting time more people than before.

Most of my better friends are girls, simply because most of the guys in my classes have been boring to talk to. Plus, the girls are hotter than the guys. :P However, with girls I get stuck in the "friend zone" all too often. I've been told that I am good-looking but I think girls see me as the "nice guy" and don't want to date me. I have had a few girlfriends, but the longest one lasted for a month and that was in November, so I'm searching around again.

As for intelligence I am in all honors classes. I do the block math and science, and the honors english and american studies classes. (this is probably why I have more girl friends then guy friends) I don't work to my ability and I try to get by on as little effort as possible. I really want to change that and get my grades back on track. I sleep usually in math since it is a period and a half long and the teacher can get boring every once and a while.

I am very into sports. I love to compete with others. Right now I am doing pre-season baseball which I am looking forward to the season for if I make the JV team since our school was the Pennsylvania state champs last year. I tried out for the basketball team but I didn't make it, because I wasn't as tall as the others who play my position. The kids who made it say that I should have made it over a few people, but what are you gonna do? I'm just gonna try out agian next year.

I would definately say I am somewhat geeky, but I try to suppress that as much as possible at school and around friends. I let it out on this site and playing other online games.

That's mostly it. I felt like I was rambling so I stopped Ask any questions if you want more info.

Because I have no life other than school, I have a lot of time to think. I have time to think about things. This time I think, leads me to good and bad things. On the good side, I spend hours thinking about life, and what I want to do with my life, considering the fact that I’m only granted one. Negatively, I spend time judging things, everything. I end up judging people, all of my actions, political issues, all of that. Sometimes, this can get me in a bad mood, and because of all the time I’ve had to do this, now I’m becoming a bitter person.


I'm a thinker as well...in fact I live within my own mind more than I do in reality. Every second I am not spending focusing on something that has my attention, I am inward thinging of morals, fantasy, or my futurte. By fantasy, I'm plotting storyline after storyline, brainstorming at a steady pace that only ends when i start to bainstorm on a different idea.

Non-APEX students, on the contrary, think I'm a genious and a hardcore geek.


People who do not know me percieve me by the classes I take and who I am with at that moment. Even when they do see me everyday, they only see on side of me and think that the solo part is my whole. In my school I am veiwed as either a loner, a bully, a rolemodel, a pervert (-.-...people don't understand the concept of near sighted and frequent daydreamer), a genius, a spaz, a jock, a nerd, an addict (funny story), a deliquent (a certain teacher who really pisses off the class), shy, preppy, emo, hardcore, funny, light-hearted, unforgiving, and ect. people assume way to much is my modo for my school.

I'm actually really close to my parents, though we don't spend much time together besides at the dinner table. Both of mine are really intelligent, interesting people who I like talking to, and have never made me feel like I need to be something I'm not.


My poarents are cool and understanding yet have bounderies for my own saftey and betterment. It's because of them that I am an AP student and able to enroll in Mercer University (I might go to UGA instead but Mercer looks more promising). We talk about school, play games togethor (Rayman's Raving Rabbits today! ^^), the let me go to parties and hold them (no alchohol of course which is good for me because I don't drink), and we on vacations to places such as Germany to cisit relatives. I count myself as fortunate.

for people who don't know me, i'm kinda shy i guess...


I keep to myself and don't try to make new friends. The only time I try is when they reveal a similar interest then I try to create a bond. In classrooms where I'm surrounded by people I don't know, I retreat into blissful oblivion but keep my ears open for some keywords I like to hear.

Lades to Me-

I'm a highly intellectual, crippilingly shy guy. I hide behind a stony expression, and if I don't know you, you won't get a word outta me. I tend to sleep in every class, and comehow pull various grades of passing after each semester. I'm a hardcore gamer, and I live to play RPG's and strategy games, though I need more action oriented now it seems. I'm a songwriter, and focus on writing rock and punk, the music genre I prefer. I read books when I can, but I read through them so quickly that it's almost a waste now, as the story is over far too quickly. I'm a technophile, and hate the natural world. The closest thingh I could imagine paradise to be is that huge city world from Star Wars. Having made that comment, you can tell that I do posess some...geekish traits, albeit not a large amount. And although I know it to be a contradiction, I'm both the friend that'll stand by you through hell, and also the one that'll crush you if you cross me. Generally though, I care for my friends deeply, and I'll fight for them.

My personality on first appearance though? Generally, people view me as a cold loner, and don't give me a second thought. Those that know me will tell you that I'm generally sensitive and ready to help, as long as it's in my interests. I'm ambitious, determined, and driven to achieve my dreams, and I'll never stop reaching for them. I'm a smartass of epic levels, and have a corrupted sense of humor around my friends.


We have a lot in common. The only major difference is I have a great love and admiration for nature and if chosen to live in the mountains or in the city I would probably chose a nice dream house in the Appalachions near Georgia to be close to home.

I have a fairly large circle of female friends (literally only one guy in the group) whom I can talk to, but it's pretty hard to talk to people I don't know. However, I've opened up a bit in the sense that I can speak to most some guys without making myself look stupid, and talk to most girls in my grade or younger with ease.


Same for me but switch the genders in this case. I have a lot of male friends but their are a some girls in the group as my pictures show (the pictures are not all my friends of course though <<). I don't attempt to talk to other people unless they talk to me first and I have a lot of underclassmen friendswho I sometimes hang out with.

Puff to Me-
QUOTE
There's not really a difference between "FEW" me and "real" me. It all depends on who I'm around, I guess. I'm loud and obnoxious, but I'm also EXTREMELY shy. I know it doesn't make sense, but it's try.


I think I know. During school, I am extremely shy and withdrawn but when I do outdoor activity or group events I totally spaz and start doing everything with a burst of energy that I think I store up over each day from being so closed.

SpiralStatic to Me-
QUOTE
I also happen to REALLY hate fake people, and elitist clique people, so I hang out with the "losers", who generally happen to be the REAL cool people.


My German blood boils and bubbles in the presence of those two types. They offend everything I stand for in so many ways with the lies and uncaring inflicted use of their egos and personnas. I judge by personality and not status and those two personalities burn me up like an inferno.

Kakashi_The_Alchemist to Me-

I am very quite and I don't like to talk much, when I am around people I don't know. But when I am with my friends I am as loud and obnoxious as a person can get. I am very shy around new people.


As I've mentioned in other quotes. :P

Karn to Me-
QUOTE
Hmmmm. I don't really think I'm percieved here any different than I am at school. Most people view me as the smart guy that sits in the back of the room. People always think of me as really intellectual, because I'm not one for small talk. A lot of the time I take things seriously that people did not mean so, going into a philosophical discourse about a joke, or something alont those lines. However, at other times I can be the most random and outspoken person, again throwing people off and making me seem weird or unapproachable. I have a group of about 5-6 close friends, and I spend practically all of every weekend over at one of their houses. I'm definately not a homebody.


That's me as well. Nathan, Tyler, and I get into many intense discussions over anything from history to any random thing.

I always get the work I'm supposed to get done, done on time but I always stress myself out because I wait until the last half an hour to finish all my work.


My favorite tactic. The added stress fuels the mind and body to get it done and pull on every resource known by instinct. :P

Esgal to Me-

Because of those years, though, I ended up having a large amount of personalities I could use, which made me being able to adapt to most conversations, and not to mention lie well.


This might be the case for me, I like to see though as different parts of me reacting to me situation. The ways I act is just how I adapt. I'm also a good lier unless the lie has to do with a joke because I can't hold a laugh.

Lionheart to Me-
QUOTE
Overall..I try to be nice to everyone, but it is hard because I have slight anger issues, which I normally can hold back and control rather easily, because I end up getting mad at myself after getting mad at someone else.


I hold a grudge for a long time and sometimes for little things. I've learned to rise above it but it's still their. If I hate someone...well...the best thing to do is akeep a distance because I'm not done till I"M satisfied and one payback may not be enough.

Me by Me- I am slow to make new friends but eager to do anything with and/or for my friends. I try to challenge authority if I see it as unjust and biased. I dayream often and work my mind when my body isn't working. I earnestily try to earn my dream of becoming a fantasy writer by taking the right classes, get good grades, volunteer, try to get a job, and do extracilicular activities. I am easy going in that I like to lie down and take my time on work yet I sometimes blaze through work to earn more relaxation time. I enjoy challenges between friends such a 'sword' fighting, game play, roleplay, sports, and the like. I drive my friends around when they don't have rides, pay for them when they don't have money, give them food when they're hungery, allow them to holds parties at my house when their is no where else[I like trying new places], and let them use my stuff to keep them entertained. I enjoy comedy as in Mad TV, stand up comedians, spoof movies and shows, and shows like Mind of Mencia and the Chappelle Show. I am hard to anger but when I angered I never let it go. I believe in forgetting present pains for the futures betterment. I admire the natural outscape and respect inward and outward beauty (physical, mental, spiritual). I like to talk but do not start conversations. I walk at my full height (6'3") with shoulders broad and my back rigid with a neutral expression, moving at a speedy pace to get to my destination as quickily as possible.

If I've missed something then you can probably guess it from all of this info. :P

Hehe. I don't drink too commonly, but I actually got drunk with my dad, uncle, and cousin once.

In general though I find alcohol to taste pretty piss-poor so that keeps me off the medicine. It's alright when you end up at a party with no one interesting, that's about it.

I've never gotten either to play games with me. My dad played Super Mario Bros when me and my bro were kids, but after that it's been all me and my bro without any involvement from them.

BTW you guys can see a pic of me in my user profile. I don't usually wear purple though :P

I drink on special occasions such as Thanksgiving and New Year's. It's always wine though. I don't believe in drinking to the point of drunk but if you drink among friends and stay sober than I'm totally cool with that.

If I do drink, it will be the "a glass of wine after dinner everyday" thing to see if it truly works. I think that it's psychological really if you've heard about it.

My dad and all place games like Hereos of Might and Magic 5 togethor and eveyr once in a while (a year or so :P) my mom will play a little. She wantewd to try throwing the cow in Rayman's Raving Rabbits yesterday but I was already past it.

lmao, I sit in the front usually so I'm not accused of it during class. Plus if I'm not working I'm writing, doing homeowrk, drawling, or reading. It sucks doesn't it? Luckily it's only a rare opinion. (I hope oo;;)

Yeah, it's really only in this one class because I know nobody and nobody knows me.

People who know me know that I day dream a lot.

I zone out, and just stare at nothing for a while... but I hate it when people accuse me of staring at them. Specially this one annoying bitch in my World History class last year. She threw a fucking mouse(computer, not biological) at me!

Trace Stratus - December 18, 2006 10:18 PM (GMT)
Last day of school softmore year I was walking to the bus (got my car Junior year) and a trio of black girls were standing at the doors. I think I was day dreaming about Trace at the time and I see one of them motion to the one standing in my path. The one looks at me and starts shaking her ass at me in a taunting manner and it pissed me off so much because they just assumed. I walked past without saying anything but from that day on I started walking in an imposing manner instead of loose and relax as I had. No one can't assume now because when your 6 foot 3 glaring straight ahead, not only is it hard to be at my eye level but I look ready for a fight as well.

It would've been funnier if it was a live mouse, though :(

Generally I either stare at a wall, particularly hot girls (not even 1/class), the teacher, or talk quietly to someone else the whole time.

When I'm not paying attention, I generally don't stare for long periods of time; I glance around like a paranoid freak, sometimes kinda leer at someone for a few seconds, and then move on, fidgeting in my seat all the while. I actually know people who've assumed I'm tweakin when I do that. That's partially because I only get that bored in my easiest class, and a lot of the people who are in it do a lot more shit and assume everyone else does.

I'm not really that bad, not hyperactive or anything. I just don't stare in one place. And recently I've started to just catch up on sleep because I'm on morning practice schedule.

If someone accuses me of staring at them, and I was, I just admit it and compliment em.

Dragon_Tam3r - December 20, 2006 11:10 AM (GMT)
I have multiple personalities, which sometimes show up on the forums I go to, more or less, I act differently throughout the times of day.

Here's my typical school day.

Morn: I'm grouchy as hell, I don't want anyone near me, I use the "I'm in the shower" excuse to have no one come over, and just stay in the shower for a while. MY arms are usually aching like hell for no reason, if anyone just slightly ticks me off, I'll go on a fucking rampage. I've lost at least 5 friends who were really clingy and would always follow me and stuff, and that's one of those things that bugs me the most, I punched them right and the face, causing 3 broken nose, 4 or so black eyes, and a tooth missing. Don't know why I feel like that in the morning, I just do.
9-11ish: I'm still very non-talkative, usually just barely talking to my best friends, and I'll usually just make rude comments about people behind their backs, but most of the time, I'm crashing and falling asleep all the time due to my lack of sleep the night before. Good part is that I'm usually so tired; I couldn't hurt a fly :)
Noon: By now I'm feeling great, and usually just pissing everyone off, weather it's showing the top-geek-bitch that I am, infact, smarter then him, usually by beating him/her in a test grade-wise and time-wise. Or I'm sitting in the back of the class making loud obnoxious comments about anyone that dares say anything, which last until about 15 minutes in the class, and the rest of the 75 minutes of the class, it's almost pure silence except for some people who I talk to, which is only about a quarter of the class.
Afternoon: I'm feeling great still, but looking for a fight, I'll throw a hard shoulder to anyone who doesn't move in my way walking down the hall. If I see any K-SAT nerds from last year, I look them right in the eye, and either throw them against the locker/wall nearby, and half-tackle them down, no reason at all. When get to class at this time, I'm usually just catching up on gossip or something, nothing special.
End 'o School: I'm probably getting walked out of class/AP office with another lecture, and end up talking with some skater/punks or tripping just about anyone near the bus circle, and having them fall over the railing to where the buses drive at. Usually I'm looking for someone for one reason or another, and get a few kids to go look for him, while I stand on the "podium" which is basically just a really high step at the bus circle area looking for them, usually involving my pushing someone off said "podium".
I'm Home!: Parent have usually gotten a call, I'm off to do some chores, yadda yadda. Talk to some people about the gossip I heard and some other random stuff for half an hour - hour and a half.
BORED! Comp/TV time, or something's going down at the school and I go check it out.
I guess when I use the computer, I can feel safe, and I can act more secure, Iunno, some terapy shit there >_>

Plain and simply


“I don’t care what other people think about me”
