And another time, I was threatened with suspension. Whenever the buses would pull up, everybody would push to get in first. The vice principal came over and shouted at everyone to get back to maintain order. Then the bus lady called for me to come in first since I was well-behaved and she liked me. Well, the VP yells at me to step back out. He questioned why I disobeyed him, and I explained to him the bus driver had called me to go in, and he yells that I was wrong since it was him who ordered the students to get in the bus. He told me he was suspending me and I started crying, but he allowed me to get in the bus and I never got called to the office so crisis averted.


That sounds like a mess. Who threatens to suspend someone for something as simple as that? smdh.

It's like the time @Lord Orgasmo was essentially interrogated by one of our high school deans for having his phone out during a lock down that was for some dude with an umbrella since someone thought it was a gun (fun fact we all later found out that the school didn't bother to inform anyone's parents until much, much later that day after everyone already informed their parents about the lock down). Guess you can say that it was a "security issue", but then again, the school had a hard-on for nagging anyone with a phone out even at lunch of all things.

My principal made me cry on speaker phone with my mom on the other end of the line. It was over a stupid agenda that my parents couldn't sign everyday. I started crying because I was worried I would get suspended or my mom would ground me. Neither happened but still I was terrified since I was only a 3rd grader and I hated being in trouble.

My middle school and high school experiences were never that bad.

I did have a problem with the only guy I ever dated and that was during 9th grade. I broke up with him after a month and he began to spread rumors that I had sex with him. And I was like??? Boy, the closest thing we did was kiss and some touching that made me realize boys were not my thing. At all

Luckily, I was going to transfer a two weeks later. Still, I had to deal with shitty looks from other students and other kids I had called friends.

I got detention in 6th grade because I was late to class when it was not my fault, my locker kept getting stuck or it would not open because of the stupid combination lock it had. I hated that locker.

The one and only time I had detention (unless being on the wall at recess counts) is a Saturday detention (two hours in school on a Saturday) in HS because I was late too many times to school. I was living in a single bedroom with my family at the time due to being homeless, so yeah.

Of all the Dungeons and Dragons archetypes others have likened me to, it has always been the druid, ranger, or cleric.

When I was young and played D&D frequently, I always played a thief. In versions later, that class morphed into the Rogue Class. Both my daughter and son play D&D with their friends. Without any coordination on my part, both chose the Rogue class to play in their groups. The acorn doesn't fall too far from the tree.

I was awarded the "Trivial Knowledge Expert" award by my university friends because (according to them) I knew a lot of things they hadn't even heard of.

For roleplaying and tabletop I've usually went for CN rogue/ranger-type characters myself though I've been working on trying out different sterotypes/cliches/classes too.

I had planned my ex's mom wedding for her. I knew about photography and wedding planning since I want to do that professionally, but like I pretty much planned it for her. I even helped her pick out her dress, her flowers, her makeup and shoes. She was happy to have me help her. Told me that she wouldn't have been able to do her whole wedding without me. Hell, I even helped her get dress and get a discount on the photography. The day of the event she even thanked me in front of everyone during the toast.

I thought we were close. I would help her cook when I would go over for dinner. We would tease my ex and even shop together.

But not once did she acknowledge me as her daughter's long term girlfriend. Not once did she introduce me as " my daughter's girlfriend" or even acknowledge that we were together. I hadn't notice it at the time becauae I was just happy to be accepted by my ex's family.

When her daughter and I split after 3 years, almost 4, a mutual friend said that her mom had said something along the words of "oh now you can marry a guy and give my grandchildren and live a normal life"

Like fucking wow. Sure, I don't know the whole story, but like fucking wooooow.

I thought I might become a little less introspective after I found someone, but I think I'm still the same; I just have less time for introspection.

I had some wine and a Long Island yesterday evening. When I woke up this morning, I felt extremely nauseated and I had to rush to the bathroom. I drank a glass of water after that, then had a ham sandwich for breakfast and another glass of water. Not a minute after that I vomited again. It's been roughly 30 minutes and I'm still thirsty as hell, but I'm afraid to drink any more water at this point.

Once upon a time I attempted to live a life of normalcy in the vein of what others expected of me and told me to do. I mirrored everything I could observe, everything I could perform, but some disquiet part of myself always told me this was a lie and that it cut deeper and more sincerely than anything else. Moreover, it foretold me that living this lie, this illusion of self, would spell doom. Fool as I was, trying to be what the world expected of me, I buried this foreboding sentiment deep away. I piled upon it all of my self, my very core of identity, all traded for what I was told everything should be. But still and yet, I could hear this unspoken voice, this ethereal sensation that all of this was not right. I agreed, of course, although I persisted in pandering and trying to do as was "normal".

Not only did I fail, I failed more miserably and terribly in it than anything else in my life. So great and horribly so that the existence of this period in my life is almost entirely stricken from me; only the basest of emotions survived. It was as though one day I went to sleep, fallen into coma, and heard only the distant cries of those who tried to rouse me from my slumber. I have never experienced a more prolonged - years worth - period of subliminal anger, truthfully rage, stirred together with vehement self-loathing and spite, hopelessness beyond any comparison I have confronted; even in my number of deaths before revival, the place thereafter in an equally unconscious dark was truly better, more peaceful, perfect even and anything but this. So much so that when I broke free of it, it was as if I had awakened from that restless slumber.

I realized only some years later, many now, that I had almost put myself upon the altar, all to sacrifice everything I was and could be just for the sake of fleeting approval and comfort in this world. I had nearly killed the self, the very heart and soul. All to just live as the rest of the world, all to appease the rest of everyone and everything else. But for some reason, when I went back to the heart after my illusion - all the lies lived - were torn down, I said "No, no more."

The purpose of this story is that I at times wonder what would have become of me if I betrayed my nature, had I murdered the spirit for the sake of society. Where might I just be, if at all? When I reflect upon what I am now it only makes me to wonder if there was more intent on intervening, preventing me from doing all the things I ultimately needed to.

I will add in addendum that what brought this back to me was mere reflection. I often say I live a life of no regrets and here I find this one particular portion of the narrative an excellent example. I regret, not for a moment, forgetting the rest of the world.

Once upon a time...

HoF, I believe it is a rare soul who has the opportunity to live their true self from birth to death. In fact, a majority of the people who breath oxygen, glued to mother earth's gravity experience what you have so eloquently described above. Some unfortunates will live their entire life with their true self subdued in some dark corner of their subconscious, never to allow it to reach the surface. God help them that they do not lose that self discipline and vent their rage on others. I recall the exact instance when I was born. It was not the day I entered the world of the breathing, but 18 years later.

All this talk of D&D, so....

I am most fond of the barbarian. Perhaps not the most exciting in terms of mechanics and fairly simple in terms of actual role-playing, but I can't help but enjoy having the solution to all my problems be 'get royally pissed and beat the problem with an axe until it's no longer a problem'.

I find a certain melancholy sobering to realizing how much time has passed in some things. It seems like some days would never end and that some times were forever but now they too are all gone. I take heart in it all, recognizing this is life.
