Moral Support for Chatterboxers! Or MSC, however you'd like it.
See, I know that we all have different talents and different experiences. I'm also sure that tons if us have different problems that we need to talk about. There's no need to apologize for ranting – ranting is good for you. And if you don't have problems, try to encourage someone else. We have lots of different age groups, people with different hobbies and experiences. I think that together, we could improve and encourage each other.
Or is this a really lame idea..? I can feel this thread dropping slowly to the bottom.

Oh. That makes sense, kind of. Guys, guess what? I've been emailing an author and he offered to talk philosophy with me and that makes me happy. Unrelated: I was in a really good mood in language arts and this guy who sits next to me was acting concerned; he asked if I had hit my head or something. What? Do I really act that depressed? I mean seriously.

Congratulations! That's amazing! I'd love to be in your shoes right now! Who is the author?
Ignore that guy. A lot of people in this world are pretty mean and people like him are everywhere. That's happened to me, too. Just ignore him.

The author is Adam Gidwitz (his books are kind of YA but not really) and the guy who said I acted depressed wasn't being MEAN per se, he was just making an observation. I really should have told y'all this particular piece of information sooner but I didn't so anyway: I'm anorexic and have been for maybe two months and the only people I've told other than you guys is my friend Timothy and also I told Adam Gidwitz. And my other friends have kind of guessed but I'm a good liar.

Right on BHR!
According to the Catholic catechism, the meaning of life is to love, serve and know the Lord.

Ok, so this guy in my second block class (that's when we have lunch; second block) so anyway this guy in my second block (his name is Isaac) sits with me and my friends, I'm not sure why, and he always talks to me. This other guy in my second block whose name I can't remember says that Isaac likes me which is kind of supported by the fact that when I asked Jonathan if he got the email I sent him, Isaac overheard and said, "You guys are emailing?" and I don't know, it was just something about the way he said it that made me think he liked me.
Unrelated: Sam (that's the guy I like) has dead eyes. I don't mean he has, like, zombie eyes or anything, but his eyes are pretty much emotionless. I'm not sure when I noticed this.

I would help you, but I have absolutely no experience here.
In slightly related news, I accidentally made a match between BHR and one of my friends. How this happened:
Friend: Nobody in the world watches Top Gear besides me!
Me: (Thinking: Oh, doesn't BHR like Top Gear?) One of my friends watches it.
Friend: Really? What's he like?
Me: She is pretty upbeat, likes catapulting Barbie doll heads, likes climbing all over her roof, and I think she likes Monty Python and other British humor. (Friend is extremely fond of British humor. I mean, extremely.)
Friend: Really? She sounds awesome! What's her name? Where does she go to school?
Me: Uh, I don't really know, she lives in Florida... (I didn't tell him your name, although I do know what it is)
Other friend: Is she short? (Friend is very short.) Because if she is, she sounds like the perfect girl for Friend!
Me: Uhh... (Thinking: Oh gosh! What have I done?)
So I'm sorry I mentioned you, please don't be creeped out, but I just wanted to let him know that someone else in this world likes Top Gear. And that you catapult Barbie heads. Because, well, that's pretty awesome. In the meantime, if you ever are in need of a short guy who is way, way, too fond of British humor (and cars), you know who to call.
(October 7, 2013 - 9:00 pm)
Add one more person to Top Gear fans list. Me!
(October 8, 2013 - 12:50 pm)
He is probably either going through some emotional trauma or is just a shallow guy. Aim for someone better.
(October 8, 2013 - 1:24 pm)
He can actually be really nice. I have an incredibly complicated relationship with him...

@ Ruby: HAHAHA! I think that's hysterical! I don't mind at all (though thank you for keeping my name private, I do try to keep such info quiet). I'm glad SOMEONE thinks what I do is cool! (cause seriously, everyone I know thinks I am just weird, and belong in a mental institute, no kidding). And yes, catapulting Barbie heads is cool! And a lot of fun! (especially when annoying neighbors are watching, and look the epitome of horror!) So tell the guy thanks for believing in my weirdocity! Btw, ask him if he's ever seen the "Three Wise Men" episode.
@ Kalyna: High five for Top Gear fanatics!
(October 8, 2013 - 7:05 pm)
He loves that episode. And quoted a line from it which I promptly forgot.
I don't think you're strange at all and you certainly don't seem to need to go to a mental hospital. I don't know you in real life, but from your writing, you just seem to be a very vibrant person. There's nothing wrong with being happy and trying to enjoy life as best you can.

Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyy so this is a painful story. One of my friends was kind of rude to my other friend at lunch, who we just met this year, about if he's really friends with us and now he won't talk to any of us. Actually, I tried to talk to him at his locker, but he just said "If you guys don't want to be friends with me, I don't want to be friends with you," and I said I'd like to be his friend but he just walked away and ignored me. My other friend said when they tried to talk to him he completely ignored them in the halls.
I think it's most painful for me and my friend who tried to talk to him in the halls (but not the one who offended him--though it hurts her too.) I have no idea what to do. I want to try talking to him in the library tomorrow, but he knows we're always in the library so he won't show up probably.
Zaga says "Artg" Yes, Zaga, I do sometimes make art when I'm stressed, and I do want to scream right now. But art won't help right now.

I have this little notebook in my purse that I basically put my heart and soul into and my friend was looking through my purse once and she found and read part of the notebook and so now she occasionally just ravages my purse looking for the notebook hoping to read more of it. It's incredibly disrespectful.
In orchestra I was playing one of the songs we're working on and Jonathan (the guy who sits next to me) when I was done playing the song, he said "you hesitated a lot" and I don't know that just kind of made me mad even though it's true that I am an incredibly hesitant person.
I understand how you feel, Maggie. But sometimes it's best to try to forget about what other people say and move on. I am reminded of a girl I had to sit with for one set of orchestra rehearsals and concerts. She was a very good player, much better than I, but I tried my best. She always told me everything I did wrong and kept trying to act like my teacher right during the rehearsal. I could tell if I played a wrong note. I didn't need her to tell me, and she wasn't the conductor or my teacher.

It's not Jonathan that I'm mad at. He's really nice. It just kind of made me mad, I'm not sure why.

@ Theo: I've been there before. It might not be just your friend that upset them, but just have multiple feelings or things going on. Don't try bending over backwards for them. If they were ready to get all mad at you over a comment a friend made, and then you went to them and they STILL are mad, they've got other issues. You've shown them you do care, and that you don't agree with that comment, now it's up to them. If they really want to be your friend, they'll come around. If not, they aren't worth it. Trust me, fair-weather friends are not the kind you want or need.
@ Maggie: I'm that way sometimes too. I get mad over random things, though I'm not entirely sure why. I personally think it's the small things that don't seem like much to anyone, even us, but over time, they get under our skin. Try not to stress to much about it. Just remember it won't really matter in the long run. And keep on keepin' on!
