A lull in today's Waller-sized workload got me thinking - what things define you as a person? Bearing in mind that Pete and Bernie's Philosophical Steakhouse is now closed, can you pin down moments in your life that made you who you are today? Example - what made you listen to the type of you music you listen to? Why do you wear the clothes you do? How did you come to be friends with your friends?
I'd do my own, but I'm busy - just trying to start some serious discussion, rather than spoofs involving me being a gay serial m*********r or another fricking copularity pontest.

Micro, you have eight months left...forget about them losers...you'll ALWAYS come out on top...you'll be the winner. As for the girl situation...at the end of it, you'll have the better girlfriend, later wife. Well done to your mate who stuck by you.
Oh, and Aj also gets a mention! :D
Primary School life, for me, was the best years of my education. No bullying whatsoever, everyone was happy, I had many friends. Then, during March of Year 6, I moved sown to Kent, from Cheshire. Life changed then. I had no friends, and I had to go to another primary school to finish the 6 weeks left of my primary education. It was tough. Knowing that I wouldn't make friends, as I would only see them for 6 weeks. I remember sitting there on the playground, alone, occasionally getting hit in the face by the odd foam ball or a tennis ball. When that brief period of time ended, I moved on to Secondary school. It was hard during year 7, not knowing anyone, and feeling like an outsider. The thing was, I would have been able to take my 11+, but I moved too late and missed the opportunity. So, I had no choice but to go to a comprehensive. Now I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with comprehensives, it's just that I was ready for a grammar school. Anyway, day in, and day out I would be bullied mentally, names were called and I was always never picked for the playground football teams, not because I was pants at football, but because no one ever gave me a chance.
Then it was on to year 8, where I made my first real friend, who still catches the bus home with me now. I can honestly say he is the only true friend I have down here, as all my other friends still live in Cheshire. He would always try and prevent me being bullied, and sometimes it worked. What is funny though, it's that he is the most popular bloke in my year, and he decided to hang out with me, the average Joe Loner.
Year 9 was different that the other years. I had never felt this low in my life. One day, a boy in my class said I 'fancied' a girl in the very same class, which I didn't. Anyway, she is the most popular girl in the year, so she didn't want to be seen talking to a loner, and decided to ignore me. I wouldn't mind if it was just her, but she used her popularity against me. She was able to manipulate every girl in my year so that they would ignore me, and I felt so alone. I didn't do anything about it, and I didn't blame myself, I just got on with my schoolwork, got really good marks in my SAT's and entered year 10.
Year 10 was one of my better years at secondary school. I finally plucked up the courage to go and tell that popular girl what I thought. I said something along the lines of, "What did I ever do to you, eh? If you so much as talked to me, you might realise that I can be very pleasant, and but you won't give me a chance. No one will. You should take your head out of your @$$ every once in a while and come down from your tower and pay people respect, you stupid b****!" That would, without me knowing at the time, dig myself a deeper hole. I sunk below loner. I was now the loneliest kid in the year. I still talked to my friend, my only friend, and tried and failed to make new friends. That's where SR came in. I saw an ad in the back of a Nintendo magazine and decided to go and have a look around the forums. If you will ask most people, they will say that they came to SR to win GAD. I didn't. I came to make new friends. Sure, I would never see them, but at least they would give me a chance. I started off low, trying to keep in line and get used to the surroundings. A few people made comments about being named after Microchips, but that didn't bother me. I had made a few friends. Quinty, DW, BIGMAN, Time_warp, Hallowhowartthou and Kerrang all deserve a mention, as they speak to me regularly and have always respected my opinion, read my posts and signed up for my lame spoofs.
The thing is, though, I have sourced the problem. I now know why I get bullied. It's because I am always writing. I love writing. I am seen as a geek. I will write spoofs, posts, and reviews or just do homework all day if I wanted, and I do regularly. People think that because I am always writing, I must be weird, so they avoid me.
In the end, I have realised, that I will just carry on working at school, do well in my GCSE's this year, leave at six form and go to another school and get into university, where I will try again at making some mates, and hopefully have a good time.

Well what can i say?
Ever since i was little i have moved house about every two years because of when my dad was in the army, i lived abroad mostly and had to make friends with new people each time. Some times it was hard to leave some good friends behind but i was always told *you would make new friends* which i have done.
Two years ago my Dad left the army after being in 22 years (i was 13) and this time i knew i was staying in the same place for good, so that was pretty cool for me. Got to know alot of people when i first moved down here but because of the last few years i never wanted to go out because i never did before, sure i had friends in school but never saw them afterwards.
I also became friends with * the hard people * which was one thing that never happened before, usually i had friends but we were the only ones and didnt bother about every thing else.
That was year 9.
Just before the beginning of year 10 i was saw the group settings for next year (we went to a college so different tutor groups) and i found out that i was the only one out of my old tutor group not to go with other people out of that group, but luckily i knew everyone else from the different tutor groups.
i have got more confidence now then i had before.

Hey, there will always be somebody who hates you. In my case, there's plenty of people who dislike me, mainly because of my attitude. Heck - anybody hassle me, I open a big ol' can of whupas*. God bless Ju jitsu, lol.
Cheers for the feedback. I guess I took it too seriously...but looking at it, I realise them kids ain't good looking (heh, not that I'm gunna say they are...), so why should I care.
