Wow. Your story could be my story. Really. I have like six friends. One from high school. One from my frist degree-actually three from that one. And one in this one. 

I'm only now learning how to drive because of my messed up eyes (Hence why Iwear contacts. Ihave 20/20 vision with them)

and I've only have had like five real dates, despite the fact I desperately want more with this guy but am too scared of, well, scarying him off. So we just talk.

I believe everything happens for a reason. 

I've been struggling with depression on and off for...12 years. This year has been particularly bad. So I do understand. Believe me. 

I had to...well force myself to volunteer last year. Because...Iknew i needed to do something. The convention...it was great and I loved it. start with doing things like that. And then...going bigger.

Ah. Growing up I think I ever had... uh... How do I classify a friend? I'll classify it as they invite me over. Everyone else is an acquaintance. A good one, but still an acquaintance  since I was still an afterthought. So by going by that criteria, I'd say I only ever had one friend. And that was in elementary school before I moved. Then I was in Conneticut for a good... uh... 12 years? With a couple good acquaintances here and there, a few bullies who had broken arms, but not really a friend who invited me to things. And the good acquaintances were I'd say... 4 total? 1 for a year, the last 3 for the last 4 years. Rest was just me being buddies with teachers since they tended to like me since I was usually the smartest kid in the class by quite a wide margin. 

I can't drive. With correction I'm... 20/480. Without it I'm like 20/1000+. And short of cybernetics, thats not getting better anytime soon. Not getting worse either, so thats a silver lining. Get that car license. Being able to go anywhere you want sounds so liberating!

No dates for me in general. Best I've gotten is a friendly hug. Hugs are nice though.

I find my depression has made me a nihilist. I don't get sad anymore, though I don't show much emotion anymore unless its more of an extreme one. Though I'd really like to be enthusiastic and tend to be when something interesting happens. Though being nihilistic has given me an incredible pain threshold. 

If I could travel, I'd volunteer more. But being alone for too long has given me a very unhealthy dose of paranoia, so I don't take busses and taxis are too expensive. xD Its weird though, I'll freely talk to strangers, but I hate going on busses alone. 

Getting into life story stuff now. If you all want me to not ramble, just say. I can ramble for days. xD

Also my mom is a nurse. I know a good deal of what you two would talk about just through osmosis. xD

Oh yeah. Light also commented about Penelope. Not much, just asking if she did kidnap them and asking to be let go with a vague threat. xD
