Blogger ate my post! *cries*

Anyways, my ankle hurts. I did too much walking on it today. x_x;;

I'm trying to remember what I was doing when I was 12...I think it was avoiding people in 7th grade except for the small "outcast" bunch I hung out with. ^^;; I was too new in the school for most kids to pay attention to me, so I fell in with the Boyles--three sisters who were kinda outcast. I'm still friends with them, too, even though Jenny is a pervert. #

*blinks* I will freely admit that I am still a child at heart. I probably always will be, too. Of course, this doesn't stop everyone from putting me in positions of authority. [Still trying to figure that one out...]

I never let relationships rule my life. [Though at 17, I came close to clocking my ex-boyfriend for being a total prat. ^^; But I don't think anyone would have stopped me considering what had happened.] Hmm, maybe that's why Andrew's being a pain. He's been pestering me because I don't seem to have time for him at the moment. --; It's the first week of classes. I think he was expecting a little much. He knew my schedule was going to be insane, but he loves drama. *sigh* So I'm letting him be all overdramatic and just trying to survive the week. And they say that women are high maintenance. *rolls eyes*

Maybe I'll leave work early today. Claude's not here to get my my new paperwork, and I have nothing to do except homework. I'll probably do homework until 1pm or at least until after lunch and then head back to campus. I'm reading Japanese poetry right now. [Translated. The raw stuff is for the other Japanese class, and I'll get to that next. There's like 60+ pages of poetry for me to read for Monday. @_@!!]

If I get one more complaint about the calendar for MM this month I am going to scream. I know the proportions are off and that the angle is wrong, but I was rushed. ;_; I'm going to be doing a very careful job on October and November, so maybe that'll shut everyone up. Meh, probably not. --;; #

Damn... You kids grow up too fast these days. LOL. I hear about people now who want to have sex at 12 years old, yet I was still playing with Barbie dolls at that age.

Go figure. #

When I was 17, I had broken up with my boyfriend because he couldn't stand my friends and I wasn't going to give them up for him. I didn't have many crushes, and those that I did have didn't become the center of my life.

*sigh* Truth be told, I feel a lot older than I am. It doesn't feel like I'm turning 21, guess I'm probably another old soul. #

Can't say that I blame Trev for leaving either. I wish it hadn't come to that but he's got to do what he's got to do... and since he appologized for what he said it's all cool again, well as cool as it could be. *chuckles* But about the relationships when 17 for me, guess I wasn't normal *chuckles* First I was never in a relationship, but even my crushes weren't center of my life x_x;... But then I've been called an old soul, I'm more comfortable with adults and always have been, mom use to say that for the most part I acted older than I was.

I don't expect that Trev will be coming back, he'll find something else to occupy his time as he should. And maybe this year not get grounded so much *chuckles* The rest of us just have to figure out how to fill the hole so to speak... but really only in the two groups since he faded out of the others a while ago x_x;... But I thank you for your concern AJ *smiles* It means much to have people watchin' my back *wink*. #

Blogger lost my regular post on my regular blog!!! {{sobs uncontrolably for about two seconds, then beats Blogger with a stick}} #

It's not so much he needs to get a life. We have to remember Trevor isn't as old as he sometimes seems. He's only like sixteen or something.. At sixteen, relationships with others *were* my life. If something didn't work out, it was like the end of the world. At that age, disassociating with the "offending" party is important. Nine times out of ten, when teenagers break up with someone or are broken up with by someone else, they're not going to hang around with the other side's group. One of them will find their own group of people to hang out with, or, if they were in seperate groups to begin with, they'll go back to their original group of friends.

That's just the way it happens in most high schools. We're all older than Trevor. We have to remember that he's going to react differently to things than we are. Just like Dan and I are probably going to react differently to things than most of you, considering he and I are almost a full generation ahead of you all. You're all seniors in college, coming up or just having reached your 21st birthdays. Dan and I are over a quarter of a century!!! LOL. I'll be 26 this coming October. I see things in a different light than most of you guys do. So does Trevor, but that's because he's younger.

I can see how he would be upset. I've been in situations where characters become involved, and the other player thinks the relationship is going to automatically carry over into OOC situations. It doesn't work that way. Unfortunately, the lines start to blur when you RP with a group for a long time. Trevor and Mandie have been part of Battle Angel's almost since Day One, just like Dan, Angie, and I. They're characters got involved rather quickly, and they've been playing them as couple ever since. After doing it for years, it's bound to carry over into OOC situations, or be expected to happen again in other RPGs they're in together.

Granted, he may have said some harsh things, but he was reacting emotionally. People's initial reactions to emotional events are almost always going to strong and harsh words will most likely be said. But, from what I understand, he felt remorse for what happened, and apologized. He understood his mistake, and that shows maturity beyond his teenage years. At least he was willing to admit where he was wrong.

However, we must be willing to accept his decisions. He has to deal with how he feels in his own way. We can't fault him for his emotions. Everyone has to work things out on their own. We all have our own issues to deal with, and we all deal with them in our own ways. That should be respected. People are individuals and aren't going to react the exact same way as someone else to every situation. Right now, dealing with relationships and changing them is important to Trevor, as it should be at his age. That's normal.

It's certainly not a reason to be angry at him. I, for one, respect his decision to step back from things in an attempt to move on. Role playing on the internet should not be a priority. It's a fun, secondary activity to our regular lives. The computer shouldn't be central. I think it's good that he's decided to branch out and take a break from things. Maybe, when he's ready, he'll come back. But, until then, I wish him luck. #

Trevie-boy needs to realize that everyone in the world goes through heartache. This doesn't call for complete abolition of everything that reminds one of the item of his or her affection. If he's taking it this hard, I've got three words for him: Get A Life.

But, this is comming from a silly boy on more medication than is probably right for intelligent thoughts. #

BORED.

BORED BORED BORED!

*sigh* I'm at the Hatchet, and it's 12:05am, and I'm still waiting on the majority of the news stories so I can post them and go home to my nice warm bed. ;_; Rarr!

Boys are ALWAYS silly. You need to learn this, AJ. It's a universal law. Don't ask me where it's from, though. It's just one of those unwritten things. But Angie has a point, girls get silly when dealing with silly boys. Andrew is extremely silly the majority of the time, so it does tend to rub off on me. [Not that I don't tend to be silly sometimes anyway.]

Heh, hey Mandie, about that writing romance with yourself thing. That's what's happened to me, if you've noticed. But it's starting to mirror real life a little, in strange little ways. So you could say I'm not completely writing it on my own. *evil grin*

Sufice to say there has been a fall out in a bad way... it's calmed down again but don't expect to see him on IM or in any groups cuz he won't be. If you want any more info than that email me and I'll let you know. I just don't feel comfortable putting it up here.... #

Trev's not a favorable topic with her at the moment. Can we leave it at that, please? #

      ( 1:53 AM ) The Duchess
Yeah... I'm a bit confused about that bit of news, Mandie. Is everything okay with Trev? #
