PASSED! I got 47/50 on my test Smile. My permit photo looks like a mug shot but whatever haha. My hair was really messed up but whatever I was tired when it was taken so I could care less. At least I have it!

Moved to Chattanooga because my mom is getting married again and the groom's business is out here. Doesn't seem bad at all, nice house, Chattanooga seems good, I haven't checked out the school I'll be going to now.
Though this probably means that my beyblading is pretty much done for, I went from Georgia which had few active bladers to Tennessee which has even less lol.

Speaking of colleges, the view from the top of the hill at Cornell is fantastic...

I really liked it, although I liked the first half before they got to ALO a lot better. So is there a confirmed date for Gun Gale Online yet? Can't wait to watch more in this series.

Also congrats Temporal, good luck in college!

GGO is supposed to air this Summer.

I got a sneak preview of it when I went to AN hear. I still think it won't beat the original SAO, though.

All right, this is one of those What Would You Do? kind of questions. My friend backstabbed me, just came into the room, (the day before, I was joking about him, he does it to me all the time) and punched me in the arm, and took his keys and wedged between his knuckles, almost hit me in the stomach, and he started taunting me, and he weakened me, couldn't do nothing. I think I should be a vigilante and do something. I think since he caught me by surprise, I should too. Doing nothing won't help, he'd think he won.

So was this in school? Wouldn't a teacher have said anything?

You should try talking to him and explain that he makes jokes about you and you thought you could do the same- if that doesn't work or he tries to hurt you again, immediately tell an adult the situation.

Being a "vigilante" or physically harming him would only add on to the problem.

I think you shouldn't seek out a punishment for him, rather get a peer mentor or counselor from your school and talk it out. That usually works best.

No it doesn't, my school can't even afford a year round councilor, and our dean is corrupt, our principal is only concerned about budget cuts, our teachers look the other way when something goes wrong, and there's no such thing as privacy at my school, one of the above will make the offender apologize to the victim, and the offender will know the victim snitched. So you see, the only survival is being a vigilante.

Then in that case just talk to him. I mean, he is your friend.

I think you may be slightly exaggerating.

But, in any case, as Gingka and I have said- just try talking to him and explaining the situation.

All right, but if he throws the first punch, I won't hesitate to fight back. And I know the spots that hurt the most, and heck, I could punch fast. Enough with this, I'll explain the results tomorrow.

After all, your fight would be in self defense.
Best of luck, OD.

I'm so happy because I just got a Space Dandy poster signed. Not by the creator, but by someone who helped direct it! If anyone would like to see a picture of it, I could try get one....

Though, it's my most prized item as of now lol.

The results are: I got back at him. Got him in the head with my skateboard wheel, and yeah. Now were even.

So because you hit your "friend" in the head, you two are pals again?

In all seriousness, yes. It must have got to him, I've never hit anyone who deserved it, he must have learned his lesson. He must be scared of what I'm capable of, and wants to play it off by being suddenly nice to me. I'm not really capable of anything worse than what I did though.

So are you really friends again or as you said; is he (just) afraid of you? Tongue_out

Either way, if you're going to fight, do it with your fists and respectfully, not with a weapon.
Still not too cool to see friends fight...
Jun. 06, 2014  12:11 PM
 
I'm not going to call that true friendship though. It's more of a "I'm so scared of you I'll make you my friend so you wont hurt me" thing...

Just finished my first driving lesson. Pretty exciting & a lot more fun than I thought it would be! Only a couple months & then I'll be driving on my own Smile

I would simply ignore him till he asks why you're ignoring him, then tell him why. He might respond in a good way. Violence is not the answer, I'd say. I used to be bullied, so I can see why you WANT violence, but I see the latter.
