Hi @Maisie1 Have you lived in the UK or just visited? Whereabouts? I'm in the north of England but like to travel when I can.

@Peek_A_Boo Mmmmm, I've not done Fuerteventura but the climate was beautiful when I visited Tenerife so can imagine. So much beauty there once you get away from the tourist traps.

@radioactive45 I hope things have gotten at least a little better for you; if not yet, I promise they will. Hang on in there, and one day you will rise high above all these people who've tried to bring you down.

Side note: a lot of it could be jealousy. Bullies target people who have what they want. Maybe it's that your grades are better than theirs. Maybe you are more attractive than you realise. Maybe they are intimidated by your quiet discipline and focus that they can only dream of.

Think of yourself as a seed. You're in the dark now, but when you bloom into the light it's going to feel amazing.

Perhaps Greek (southern) Cyprus; the history, culture, architecture, Tombs of the Kings, climate... it all added up to somewhere very special.

If I may answer your question with a question, why do you feel it does?

Blood Bowl! But I also enjoy curling, rock climbing, and carpet bowls.

Bank it, relax, and enjoy being able to treat myself and the people I care about to small, simple pleasures for a very long time. Take a few trips abroad.

Probably phone. Some days I might prefer no people.

Can I also have an occasional day with neither please, just as a treat? 👀

I'm not sure there are many still around any longer... 👀

The Negotiator, Run Lola Run, In The Cut, The Last Seduction, Black Swan, Memento, Identity, What Lies Beneath, The Prestige, Infernal Affairs, The Skeleton Key, Buried, North By Northwest, A Perfect Getaway, The Platform

Heyyy... hope you're keeping alright... 👀

Also, aren't dares a bit last millennia?

Yeah. Or on my back. Or sat up. Or when I'm having a gentle walk and my mind wanders 😂

Probably American Psycho

@mxyzptlk said in This is what I consider pocket change::

Since I have a lot haters who hate for the sake of hating, why not supply them with abundant fuel for their illogical hatred? You say: why? I say: why not?

Perhaps - assuming that balance is yours and is solvently accessible - a better question might be, why do I think showing my PayPal balance will fuel anybody's hatred of me?

You've got to go for it and find out for both of your sakes. If you're attracted to him and holding back out of fear of what you might lose, I promise you will regret not taking the chance later in life. And if you don't hold back then one of either two things will happen - it will work out and you will become closer, stronger, and happier, or it won't. If it doesn't and it affects your friendship, then your friendship isn't as strong as you think to begin with... but if you are good, true, kind people who care for one another, then even a separation won't break your friendship up.

Summer
To make connections
I left for about a year, I guess I'm quietly optimistic on some level and do enjoy the company of some people here (although miss a great many who have also left)
I'd hate to be found, ummm, impaled on the end of a big spike??

Wait for the helicopter. No reason to take unnecessary risks, and it's already on it's way.

Who is your favourite Charles Dickens character, and why?
