Aw. I'm sorry they picked on you!
But I guess it's nice that they liked you! I will never be able to understand men.
I don't get why if they "like" you, they treat you like crap?! What is their logic?!

"Hey, if I tell this girl how much I don't like her, maybe she'll realize I actually like her and then we'll get married and have babehs."

What?!

I KNOW‼ I was talking about it with a guy once, and he said it's a way to get a chance to talk to her and have her attention.

But why would he want her negative attention? That's silly!
Just... doesn't make any sense! I've never seen a girl pick on a guy she liked. But I am sure it happens...

I was about to say I'd never date someone who treated me like crap, but I've done it before...

Why would a guy want to be mean to a girl he liked? :(

~looks at the page numbers~ Woohoo my threadie is growing ^.^ Gizzie needs to make a threadie banner and stuff and finish up making the front page look purrty

At least you know she noticed you and will be talking about you and thinking about you? I think they're also scared of being picked on if they just go up to a girl and be nice to her. ^^;

I'm sure anyone would notice someone who's picking on them. D:
I wouldn't marry someone who bullied me in school. I don't know, guys have strange logic!

Are there many guys on Mene? I haven't seen too many. Where are they lurking??

Even though I think I get why they do it, it's still weird. It does things to one's confidence when you get older and the bullying turns into borderline flirting, though.
/nothing scary happened
/like I said, it does things to one's confidence

Mene is lacking in the boy department. We love what boys we do have.

Yeah, I'd imagine it would totally mess up your confidence to have a guy picking on you. I'd be super self conscious all the time.

Aw. Oh well. I'm sure that someday the boys here will come out of hiding and we'll see them someday!

I meant it does positive things to your confidence when the bullying turns into nice things.

Bring the boys out!

Oh! Huh. Really? I dunno, I'd have a hard time forgetting the bullying if a guy picked on me like that! But I guess it would make you feel good to know someone likes you so much. I always meet the opposite type of guys, the ones that give you WAY too much unwanted, "nice" attention. And it messed up my confidence.

To honor the missing boys of Mene... We all shall be boys.

I'm not happy about how much I was picked on, but I can't help but be flattered when I have so many people paying attention to me in a good way. So I can forgive them. /ego
It would've been a problem if it had turned scary.

That made me laugh.

Well... I'm glad that you were able to see the good in it, I guess! :D

Have you ever wanted to be a boy? Well, now's your chance! From now on, I shall be known as "Avan".

But seriously, though, I'd be a handsome boy. If I were a boy, and I met my girl self, I'd give her flowers and write her songs and call her. And I wouldn't be creepy or anything. I'd be the perfect boyfriend ever... Wow, is it wrong to fantasize about yourself like this?

Funny 'cause I was thinking about that today because I was thinking about if an OC had been born a girl. Never ever. I am way too comfortable as a girl. Anything else would feel wrong.

Yeah, that'd make sense. I mean, we're so used to being girls. We've lived our whole lives as girls! Would be awkward to suddenly be a man. But I dunno. I think I'd like being a man.

Are we the only people online right now, Amane?

I'm very feminine and would be judged a lot if I were a boy.

I'm about to go to bed so I get up a little earlier.

Oh, I see. Well, people judge others no matter how they act!

Well, I guess this is goodnight then! :)
Sleep well!

I'm very aware of others' judging tendencies. Very fearful. So don't worry about telling me that.

I wish judgmental people weren't so judgmental, but I'm judgmental sometimes.
It's easier to jump to conclusions about people online because you can't physically see them!

Like, one of my favorite singers is black, but she's a folk singer and she said that one time a "fan" wrote her and said, "Wow, I'm so disappointed that you're black". LIKE WTF?! That's racist, yo! I really admire this singer too because she's so different, she's not like other black singers that you'd hear on the radio or anything. Just sad that people can't get over their closed-mindedness to understand that people are different and not one group of people is all the same!

It's in my nature. I judge. I know it's wrong, but it's hard to fight nature. The fact that I recognize I should be careful with that shows I'm doing pretty well. I think we're all judgers on some level.

When I tell people about my hair, they're like, "WHOA, you're African?" and I always wanna say, "Why do you thnk my avvie always has dark skin?" but I realize they're right to not assume. I know plenty of people running around with dark-skinned avvies who aren't dark at all IRL, so they're in the right. I can't help it, though.

*rolls into the thread*

~sneaks in all ninja chicken like~

Back in the day when I'd make posts like that to announce my entry.

Mine are occasionally streaking.

And when people are streaking, I am shrieking…

Crikey! It's a wild Amane emitting her natural call of the wild!
We must be really, really careful in approaching this delicate creature!
*sneaks up*
