A confession, of
A confession, of sorts.
l have no idea who you people are.
That is making a mountain out of a mole hill, but it is true. l barely really interact with many people on here, l've only really got to talk deeply with a small fraction of people offsite.
l've seen your name, l've probably read a few of your posts, too. l feel like l know who most of you are, "Oh look, that's so-and-so, l've seen them around for a long time, l know who you are."
In reality....l've maybe fleetingly interacted with most of you a few times. l don't really know why, actually, but l feel pretty distant as of recent. l have a hard time talking and opening up to people, even on the Internet and getting into things. l'm bad with people and groups of people, l'm a loner by heart.
Nothing is exactly....interesting, eye-catching to me on here anymore, mostly because of said distant feeling.
Now you could go about telling me your autobiography in hope that l would somehow make out your character from a pile of facts and personality traits and try to make me feel included......but that really isn't going to help in the silghtest.
Instead, hey, why don't we actually, honestly, talk? About anything under the sun and beyond, despite being a bit anti-social l like discussing things in depth with people. Don't tell me about yourself, l want to actually talk to you.

Hey Shadow! I've felt like you before too. I don't know if you really know me, but... Let's talk!
Tell me about school. What subjects do you like? What are some of your favorite projects? What else do you enjoy? I love English, understandibly. However, I love pretty much every subject, except PE, which I hate with a burning passion. I believe the hatred is mutual.
How about travel? If you could go anywhere, where would you go? What is one of your favorite places you've been? Imagine you could take a semester abroad. Where would you go? What would you do? For me, the answer is England, England, ENGLAND!!! I love that country with my whole heart.

Hullo Booksy :)
For school--l can't really say that l exactly enjoy doing any of it, it's boring and long and whatnot. But for my favorite subject....Science, l guess? It was kinda confusing at first, but you get to build circuts and light bulbs, which is pretty fun. l like History as well, but l never get to study the time periods that l'm interested in. l'm almost done with school, l just have to revise two papers, so yay :D There is no set end date for ending school, beacause l'm homeschooled, so it tends to drag on into the summer.
Why do you hate P.E.? l have no idea what you do for it....but it can't be that bad...Right?
Where l want to go--EVERYWHERE! l've traveled very little, l've only ever been to three states in my life. l want to go to Archs National Park in Utah soonish, but l don't know if that's happening anytime soon. l've loved everywhere l've been, but l really like Denver, it's just so big! l love ghost towns, in a sad sort of way. l've been to many of them. They're just sort of empty and quiet and sort of lonely, in a chilling sort of way. If l could take a semester abroad l'd like to go to Germany or Poland, or Iceland. l want to go somewhere were l feel strange, where l can understand nothing and yet feel wonder. l want to go where everything is just so new and beautiful, l want to be out of my comfort zone. l want to see the world.

Oh, don't even get me staaarted on PE. But, as you asked. . . So, basicaly, I am NOT an athletic person. I hate running. I am also scared of getting hit in the head with a ball. So, I dislike all sports that include one or the other. And that's basically. . . All sports. And in PE, we're forced to play them. There are also always those annoying people who yell at you for getting something wrong, which honestly hurts. PE is the only class I actually dread. I think it is invented to torture kids. Also, this year, I had a teacher that hated everyone who wasn't good at sports. So, basically, he constantly yelled at me and explained things like I was a three-year-old child. And he was also rather passive-agressive. And made comments such as "If you still don't like track and field, I can't help you and that's your problem."
So yeah, that's why I hate PE :). I'll write more about other stuff later.
What don't you enjoy about school?
(June 13, 2016 - 11:33 pm)
Ohhh, okay. That's sad.
As someone who loves sports, l found that a bit hard to understand.
For school--l can't exactly pinpoint why, but it's just...boring? lt's not that l hate learning, it's that l hate the way l have to learn it. It doesn't interest me in the silghtest, it takes too long, l don't even like what l'm learning in the first place, the system doesn't make any sense. l want to ditch the system and teach myself everything, but my parent aren't letting me do that anytime soon.

I'm homeschooled, but last summer I went to Poland (I have relatives in Poland-I have Polish heritage) to stay with the relatives for two months, which was so fun and great, only, i have another 2-3 weeks of school because my Poland trip was my summer vacation.
(June 14, 2016 - 7:11 am)
Oh wow, that's cool. l'm Polish, too.
Did you like Poland? How was the trip?

Hello Shadow! *cough*
Nova here ;)
So, you wanna talk? Sure! What is your favorite animal?? I cannot choose o.o
What is your favorite color?
My life is okay, I think. My mom was irritating me a few days ago but I think I'm all right now.
I can't think of anything else to say . . .
(June 12, 2016 - 9:46 pm)
Favorite animal. l have no idea. l love 'em all :)
Favorite, again, no idea. It used to be yellow, but now l kinda like all shades of blue and green.
What are you going to do over the summer? For me, it's going to be much reading, some writing/editing, if l can, swimming, running (l'm doing the 5k in July!) gardaning, (l love botany) and hiking. My brother wants to go hiking on this one 16-mile trail, which we might do this summer. l want to do more biking, but there's very few biking trails in-town, and it's small enough that you can bike across town pretty quickly. Also the person l go biking with has hurt her knees and can't bike anymore.
My life is okay, too, except now that l'm pretty much done with school, l don't know what to do with myself.

I was feeling the same way a little while ago. I wrote a goodbye thread and everything. But then all the CBers came and posted such kind, heartfelt comments that I couldn't bring myself to leave.
So, what do you want to talk about? What's your favorite TV show? Animal? Book? Have you ever written a full novel befroe? I just finished the first draft of one.
(June 13, 2016 - 9:13 am)
l did that once. Not a good-bye thread, but l was simply fed up and had to take a break.
Anyways.
TV Show--l don't know. Doctor Who, l guess? l love how complex it has gotten over the years and how simply human the characters are. Juddging by your name, l bet you like it too, don't you ;)
Animal--See above comment.
Book--Not my favorite of all time, but l recently finished Library of Souls, the third and last book of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. l really really loved it. It's sort of paranormal fiction/horror fiction. There's some cussing, but it isn't bad, and blood and whatnot, not too bad. though. It's a kind of genere that l've never really read before, sort of borading on fantansy, but still realistic and yet so wonderfully strange. You should read the series.
Novel--l have! l wrote a entire novel for NaNo last year and a novella with it. l've written two other novels since, but they aren't completed yet. Also, good for you! It takes a lot of time and focus to write a novel, it's fun but also kind of tiring.

You want to talk to the real me? That would probably include lots of smiley faces, exclamation points, and randomness concerning pie.
Oh wait, that's pretty much me on the CB to.
I'm actually a lot more negative. When I'm here, I'm a bouncier person (not to say that I'm never a bouncy person. I can be quite bouncey). I also act as if I am totally oblivious to the teen world (which I am).
(June 13, 2016 - 2:49 pm)
The real me includes randomness concerning pie also! And pi. And BUNNIES!!!!!
(June 13, 2016 - 6:28 pm)
You probably do not want to meet the real me. Actually, the real me acts a lot like Shadow. So maybe she would. I dunno.
^ Yes, that is me, acting like me. Cho Chang (CB) is how I would like to act, but everybody gives me wierd looks when I try to.
(June 14, 2016 - 6:54 am)
Hmm...l dunno, l know myself not to be a very nice or really caring person, so if there was someone like me, l feel like we wouldn't get along, but then again, who knows?
(June 15, 2016 - 3:24 pm)
Haha, l'm the exact opposite.
Real life--l'm happier, crazier, immature, kinda of whiny and a bit of a brat.
