Completely correct, after scanning through a bit.

It actually does bother me that they can't get over whatever their problem is. Or they cannot stop making jokes in a somewhat serious thread...
I'll admit that I don't particularly mind joking around in a serious thread. It helps to keep it from getting a little too serious. But yes, I know what you mean. It has devolved into this:

It seems I'm getting wall of texted by everyone nowadays.

You post one sentence and one of those pesky members posts some 10 paragraph long thesis by Socrates. God****it if I wanted intellectual discussion I would not post in the general discussion board of a Nintendo game forum. :mad:

I'm tired and worked to the bone.

Glad my vacation starts tomorrow; I can't wait to visit my family and friends in Ohio, particularly a close friend of mine who is the closest thing to a brother I've ever had. Good times will ensue---though I have a feeling that the dynamic is going to be a little different than how it was in the past. It's strange and almost teenager-ish, but a lot of things have changed me. Better, worse, somewhere in-between...I can't even tell you the alpha and the omega of it all. If I would, I could. If I did, it would probably be one big ambivalent mess of a rant (ask Lythium about my rants and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about). I'll spare ya'll the torment of hangovers (not the drunken kind), confusion, heartache, frustration, and turnarounds.

But I gotta wonder how everybody's gonna react to this...well, reshaped (can't very well say "new," can I?) me?

I've got a conundrum for you guys.

So "conceited" is usually taken to be a negative thing, right?

In that case, how do people get that way? I kinda understand the simple part of getting overconfident leading to it and similar things but... what is it about "conceited" people that keeps them there? Have they not heard of the word, or is there just some... internal flag that just gets ignored or isn't there?

...or maybe... being conceited is actually the way to go? After all, if you just copy and paste the whole play-to-win strategy to life or anything else it seems like the conceited ones (that can hold their position, of course) would take the race.

I think I've officially confused myself.

I have a problem that won't go away. Recently I went to a friend's bday party. It was really small, only two people showed. Some people didn't come. Throughout the night we played GH and RB, and then later in the night my friend pulls me aside and explains she loves to death. This wasn't s huge surprise to me, yet I was in denial about it for awhile now. Apparently everyone thinks we're going out. We talk often, went to a dance to together*which I really regret going to* last year, and I'm nice to her.
Slowly I start realizing she loves me but I don't love her back at all. She keeps trying to convince me I like her and that's why I'm even her friend and at the party. Long story short, we kiss, I realize I can't be with her, she gets unbelievably hurt and mad, and I feel like a giant douche.

I'm pissed that I didn't realize this sooner. I could have stopped it. She's a nice girl, but I'm not attracted to her.
Before the kissing and the drama, what really pissed me off was that whenever I tried to explain she was just a friend she'd keep asking why...I've known this girl since 5th grade...we go back to gradeschool. That's why. And when I tried saying that she took it the wrong way. "So you're just friends with me because I'm the only friend you've kept from gradeschool....wow"
We talked about everything and we're still friends, just not as close and yet I don't really seem to care at all.

What should I do?

Isn't conceited just another form of arrogance but to a lesser more passive-aggressive degree?

Synonyms:
1. vain, proud, egotistical, self-important, self-satisfied.

Anyway,

Dude I was in a relationship where the girl I was with was totally in love with me,yet I didnt love her.I mean there is nothing you can do about it.If the spark isint there then It's not your fault.If she still gets upset when you try to explain it to her then there is little felt you can do.

We broke up after and we are still good friends.We shag pretty much every time we see eachother too.It's win win now.

**** BUDDY FTW!

i just found out today my best female friend has to leave school after today. she wrote in her diary(that her parents found might i add) that she did bad things(things im sure you could think of if you put your mind to it) in her basement with 2 of my best male friends(i bet you think im making this up). along with that, she also wrote that she had been drinking with ANOTHER friend of mine. NOW, he parents are sending her away. she will either be leaving her home in Illinois, to go to a boarding school in Pennsylvania, or go to Wisconsin to be Homeschooled by her aunt..... :(
today was not my day. ill never be able to look at my four best friends the same way again after ALL of them doing what they did...... i am just in shock and awe right now... i cant believe it........

i guess the lesson in this is that you should NEVER have a diary lol

That's probably your capturing SOFTWARE's fault. Check the capture settings. Are you using Windows Movie Maker?

This case seems to happen alot. Controlling father with a bad home life creates a want to go out of control.

Um... I don't really know where you're going with this, but yeah, I guess so.

The thing is, I'm about to drop one of my friends like a hot rock because of this trait. I'd also like to leave sleeping dogs lie in this situation, so I'm... confused.

This might sound contradictory, but I hate consistently losing to people I know I'm better than. It's pissing me off.

Well then don't have the attitude you're having now. Even if you do know you're better than them, approach your match like you have an equal chance of either winning or losing. If you think "Oh man, I should beat this guy," then you'll tend to get cocky and not take them seriously. Approach it like you would a match with someone at the same skill level, don't anticipate a certain outcome.

Maybe try talking to him about it first. If you're considering dropping him, it can't hurt. I was recently in a similar situation. Not sure how it's going to work out yet.


I'm sorry to hear that Sammy. Hopefully you can stay in touch. It's a pity they are just sending her away. I hope she sees counseling because it sounds like there may be a lot of underlying issues she needs to deal with. And yes, never have a diary unless you hide that thing where no one can find it. Lol.

I had a social life last semester at college.. but I realized that social life =tons of stupid females trying to hook up / date you / marry you, at least at my school. Now these women are just constantly calling me, and it makes me feel like crap, because I just want them to bother some other dude.

And one of my friends recently tried to kill himself by stepping in front of a truck on the highway. He failed and only received minor injuries, but now he's humiliated and depressed. And I don't know how I can possibly help him..

Say you're gay.
Have you tried telling these females you don't want them? If so I'd just shrug them off.

That's depressing. :(
You could try to get him to talk to someone or hook him up with a hotline. Also tell him that if he ever needs to talk to someone that you're there whenever. Just comfort him until he feels better. Hopefully he'll get better soon.

Either it's too much BAWWWWWW or too much HAHA for me in the Pool Room.

Eating Pokemon thread? Seriously? How stupid can one be?

Oh wait, we're humans.
I agree. The Disco Room is a horrible and completely mundane place to hang out.

It's also incredibly overdone and stupid now, I don't ever check it anymore.

Welcome to the internet in general.

Well this isn't major. still, here goes.
Well i have this thing @ my school called Winter Formal. it's basically kinda like a 2nd Homecoming or Prom. Except we gotta dress our sharpest. Our school has a particularly boring one. All we have is a fancy dinner with no Root Beer :,( and a speech. That's it. U would think we would have a dance maybe. But oh-no. We're a Christian School and "it's just offensive to dance at a Christian School!" (Please don't argue about the religious mention. I don't wanna start a fight)Now i'm a teenage guy and most of our kind say that we hate slowdancing. For me, while i won't say it to my friends, slow dancing with a hot girl turns me on :bigthumbu
"So what? U haz to go to a Fancy Dinner, well it's not that bad Lash." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrjwaqZfjIY&NR=1
There is a brawl tournament, which is rare enough here in Arkansas, on the exact same day of Winter Formal AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. So yeah. That's my story.....poor me.
