"Things that define you"

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.

Enough even. However how I became a big fan of Pink Floyd is interesting. In the dim, grim, past somewhere I was in a residental school and one of the carers there was a big fan of Floyd. She reconed that they were good to relax to so she played some of there tracks. I just so loved the stuff I started buying all there records ect and I now have about almost everything ever done bye floyd including some rare stuff :0)

If I ever posted what makes me the way I am, besides being backward, you wouldn`t have anough space here :0)

I would have posted something along these lines sooner. Just, after everything you said, seeing pictures of someone blatantly normal-looking made me suspicious it was all a big pish-take.
But so long as i'm not the only one *coughcowardcough*, i can live with it.

Assuming it's not, which is most likely, i'm sorry about that...

Use the new topic search thingy to find my guide to working out and my guide to fighting. They'll soon have you eating danger and pooping courage. Or something

Mate, there is nothing wrong with you at all.

Glad you showed your mum, that took some serious balls to do and it sounds like things are getting sorted.

Trust me, when you leave school it'll all get 200% better and I promise one day you'll bump into one of these idiots and you'll realise just how much of a bigger man you are.

I absolutely respect you for having the courage to write the stuff you have done and especially showing your mum.

You've got your head screwed on exactly right and although it may not feel like it now, there *will* come a time when you don't even think about the things that feel so difficult right now.

Good on you DW.

I don't know what 'features' you're talking about... which is good.

Possibly they made it up to annoy you one day to protect themsleves from the fact they suck... so much so you probably started beleiving it.

Cheers dude. But people still do it cos of my features. So, that ca only lead me to think that something is wrong with my face. But then, would the bullies prefer it if everyone looked identical to them? No, cos everyone is different! :c)

I printed my post off and showed my mum (who instidently, didn't know about it), and we've sorted most of the problems (like transport, no more bus for me, riding now) and I'm a lot more confident. Now all I'm afraid is I'll snap (maybe kick their asses) on one of the bullies. Bring it on is all I can say, but on one condition...they have the balls to face me one-on-one. I'm not hard and I don't consider myself hard...but, sometimes you just have to do it.

I probably think that there no religion is true. It says that. Buddhism has no god, which you try to follow the path for Enlightenment-can't spell it. D'oh!

It says you must believe in God to see his miracles. For one time, I kinda wish that he does show a miracle to people who does not believe in him. No-one had a vision of God except Moses, Adam and Eve and others. If there is a Lord Almighty, why does not speak? Because OF Sin??

He must do something to show something extrodinary. (If there is)

Thats enough of me for tiday and catch me later on 0000 tommorow morning for...

Ultima Weapons Late Night Show! (ONLY KIDDIN'!!)

What's the problem? You're a perfectly normal looking guy.

Counting Crows have really made me what I am. Have listened to them since the age of 8, only really got into them in the way that I am now when I was 11 when there music was really the only thing that could help me at all. Can't really say how they've made me what I am but they are one of the most important things in my life and I probably wouldn't be here without them.

Sad really. But they really do mean *that* much to me.
