The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Zephyrus]

Just played badminton for over an hour before it got too dark. We'll be having another round of Trivial Pursuit down in the lounge in about 20 mins.

 

[Vimana]

I own at badminton. Because I took it in gym in 8th grade.

 

[cookiecutter]

I get the feeling you really want me to come to University of Toronto.

Yeah, I'm hoping college will weed out the total dipshits and there'll be enough people there that it won't be hard to find people I like.

I'm sure you'll be fine at any college that you can get into. As long as you don't go to UMass

I got a new graphics card.

 

[FenriR]

Nice choice. How much did it cost?

 

[SouthernTrendkill]

I'm smoking my new weed. But I am dissapointed that today happens to be a weekend, because that means no good shit is on the TV. I guess it's Adult Swim for me, maybe some good stuff will be on if I'm lucky.

$229.99

What I meant is that I myself had a GF I wouldn't feel such a social lacking.

Oh.

 

[Alter]

Not you, Zeph.
Oh.
I'll admit it. I'm a loser. I have a small social circle of very close friends with similar interests. I don't particularly enjoy talking with people I have nothing in common with. If I could find a large number of people into extreme metal, I would hang out with them. Which is pretty much what the internet is. I can carry on a normal conversation, even with a girl. I only get fucked up when I'm talking to a girl I actually genuinely like and am attracted to both physically and as a person (So far I've met 3 of them). I once somehow derailed a conversation into autoerotic asphyxiation (oops). Not sure how that happened.

Anyhow. I really have very little in common with most people my age. I don't drink or smoke, don't listen to pop or hip-hop, don't go to see many movies (usually a waste of money, but some, like Indiana Jones, require a theater viewing), don't do sports, or any of that.

Also, I don't get invited to parties

I never, ever have been a loser. My high school has never been too much of a mean school. I can hang out with the kids who excel in football and like mainstream MTV music and they can hang out with me, who is into every type of underground music.Somehow we all find some common ground to connect. I would rather have friends who are different and I have fun with than just be friends by default because they like metal, even though I dot act/dress/claim to be a metalhead. So I am a regular within the "popular" group, which does not hold much cred in my school, but I seem to find time to be my own person.

 

[Matt]

So you're a fucking prep?

 

[skeptik]

I was generally singled out throughout my formative schooling since I'm a minority in my area, so I never quite felt comfortable talking to many people until high school really. In college I haven't really given a fuck about making friends. I drive to school, to go classes, and come home, about as simple as that. I talk to a few people, but that's about it. During the school year I like to get into the mindset that I have no friends because it keeps be focused on my school work. During breaks is when I actually hang out and do things. It works out pretty well for me and I really don't feel like I'm missing out on anything that I would actually enjoy doing.

i dont have much in common with my close friends either. theyre all jocks and i have longish hair and i dont go to the gym or anything, im the only one taht listens to metal, actually im the only one that listens to rock at all. its just all about havin a good time together,

i was one of the more popular kids in my high school just about everybody knew me/got along with me. im kinda proud to have no enemies considering my extreme cocky personality. its kind of funny how people that seem nothing alike can be best friends

 

[Alter]

So you're a fucking prep?

Um sure? I think that is a kind of ridiculous tag. By high school a person should be past that stage and stop calling people that. I just have them as my friends because they have a solid social life, know how to have fun and don't have anything to prove to anyone. I enjoy this mind frame with my friends. I don't want to be friends with some kids that never go out and when they do it is to a basement where they blow the night away doing nothing or blow it away it front of a screen. Fuck that.

Keep in mind I don't make fun of any losers, I try to talk to them and we have t real defined groups.

"During the school year I like to get into the mindset that I have no friends because it keeps be focused on my school work"

thats sounds so lonely.

as far as the prep thing mathias said, alter hit it. people are too obsessed with labeling other people that they miss out on potential friends. and what is so bad about big parties? you go with some friends, drink for free and make fun of people that suck at partying(the pukers and people that pass out before midnight). then when those suckas are down for the count, take their beer and drink it the next day. wins all around.

 

[skeptik]

It's not lonely if you don't give a fuck. I and the few friends that I do have who are not away at school are usually too busy during the semester to go out very often anyway, since, you know, we actually do good in school. Of course living off campus doesn't help.

 

[Alter]

I know a ton of people who do really well in college and have a really active social life. That just sounds like a terrible way to say you don't have enough friends. I don't mean to sound like an asshole but how do you yourself when your 32 and don't have much friend and than your age moving up you wont have anything. Internet forums wont always be here(not directed at Nec, really).

 

[Rob "Klister"]

"since, you know, we actually do good in school."

so the people that have a social life do poorly? i don't think you meant it that way, but thats the way it comes off. hopefully you'll elaborate.

 

[sevag00]

I only hang out with about 4 or 5 different people, mostly because I detest the vast majority of my peers. I've been told that I am well liked by most people, but I just don't like to associate with most people, simply because they don't share any common interests with me and don't bother to develop any mildly unique interests of their own. Maybe I'm just a giant prick, who knows.

You're just like me. I don't have many friends, but people tell me that i am liked by many others in my school, but i don't usually hangout with them, because we don't have any common interests, or maybe we have, but since we don't hangout with each other, we have never found out.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I'll just say that college is better than high school in essentially every regard that I can think of.

 

[panzerfaust666]

im getting into college next year
