Sorry to bother you,but that list you made (of bands/groups) can you make a smaller list of the ones you cinsider the best? or maybe 2 songs you like best per band? save me going through all the songs of every band.

I was called a loser throughout middle school and high school; my older sister was the only person to call me a full fledged freak to my face. Its awful to go through school and always be considered a freak or a outsider just because you're a little quiet or weird. However, you can learn to accept your inner freak and become a stronger person for it. Also, I bet the ones who called you a "freak" was too scared to release their own inner freak due to peer pressure or their social status, maybe they even envy you for it. All that I can say to you is to enjoy your inner freak and express it, trust me, it is a lot more fun being a freak than being normal. Smile

Thanks, I'm glad someone does appreciate my attitude. For some strange reason, most people are either scared off by it or consider it to be to foolish and I have no idea why. Confused Anyway, thanks for responding to forum topic (it sound so logical and much better than getting druck, since I don't like to drink any kind of beer or other alcoholic drink just to calm my nerves or numb them Mad . You can get addicted to using it as cure for solving all your problems over time. ) because I thought nobody would respond to it at all. I was wondering what your inner freak was like, is it completely crazy or like to surprise people at least likely moment. I actually curious to find out, its not to tease you or anything, I'm just curious.

Most people don't appreciate anything that sways from the 'norm' - you know it is these normal folk with their up turned nose attitudes that create and perpetuate prejudice. That is why i like anyone who is brave enough to be different and unusual - i love it - the different the better.
I'm with you about not trying to solve my problems with alcohol - who needs another demon to try and get over - not i for one, i have my hands full with my little SP playmate Twisted Evil
My inner freak isn't crazy or anything just a bit unusual - inside i am pretty playful and i like to be a goofball and speak with a shakespearean tongue and such - but alas i get funny looks when i dare to indulge this side of myself so i don't. How about you?

I release my inner freak in a sercetive way such as:

* taking hours on the internet behind my family's back reading fanfiction on several animes like Yugioh, inuyasha (my favorite), Rurouni Kenshin, and Triguin when I suppose to do my schoolwork. They can be very addictive. Smile

* studying astrology, ancient myths, the supernatural without my family's knowledge

* taking weird online personality quizzes like "What is your element?" or " Are you braindead?" Laughing

*playing strange online puzzle games on i-am-bored.com and yahoo!games

* adddicted to supernatural romances with mythical creatures such as vampires, werewolves, and elves (my favorite kind) Cool

*listen to gothic and sad love songs to get me in a creative mood to write poetry or to draw.

*teasing my siblings to point til want to attack me Twisted Evil

So, this strange persona can be a lot of fun to have but not very useful in other settings that are dull or too serious. Hopeful, I won't have to lose this persona during the trials of my life, because really I just another dull, good - two - shoes girl without a life. Now that will be a shock. Shocked

I was never called a loser in hs but ppl prolly thought I was. I avoided everyone and everything in hs so I wouldn't get hurt. I was invisible...and I hated and liked it at the same time.

I want though the same thing. My classmates never really call me a "loser" aloud, but somehow I know they were saying it behind my back. Evil or Very Mad Or maybe I was too paranora about people talking behind my back. Confused Also, I used the same strategy in school, especially with bullies. It can make you feel unreal or like a ghost stuck to the wall and can be painful at times. Sad

All through Junior High and High School I was called a freak, witch, lesbian- it was a small town in the 80's, so pretty much anyone with a small bit of creativity was burned at the stake. It's probably the same in school now- even though characters like Napoleon Dynamite are celebrated I don't think real life nerds are treated any better.

From my observations and experiences as a student in high school, nerds are treated worser than other clinques like goths despite their movie stereotype fame. Confused
