Title: Are you popular?
Post by: Unknown Target on September 30, 2002, 02:05:57 pm: Are you popular in school/life/work?

I'm one of the least popular guys I've heard of, so my life basically sucks:D
But I've still got HLP!:D

Title: Are you popular?
Post by: an0n on September 30, 2002, 02:20:17 pm: Hmmm. I don't really know.

On the one hand I hang out with lots of people, have plenty of friends and am generally liked/tollerated, but none of them would think twice about screwing me over to gain money/fame/popularity/women/etc.

I hate my friends.

Post by: CP5670 on September 30, 2002, 02:42:18 pm: When I was in school, it seemed that everyone knew me, even people I had never seen before. And I take extraordinary measures to ensure that my popularity stays at nil too... :p

Post by: Carl on September 30, 2002, 03:08:07 pm: err...i'm popular here.
Title: Are you popular?
Post by: Sandwich on September 30, 2002, 03:18:09 pm: Middle, here. I don't have all that many friends who will call me up to get together, but I guess that's because I'm in my early 20's, and life hits one hard around then. Also, most of the people I know my age around here I've only known for the last year or so at the maximum - people come and go all the time here. There are 4 people around my age that I've known ever since I've been here (1989), that are still around. Kinda sucks. :doubt:

Post by: Gortef on September 30, 2002, 03:21:03 pm: I'm In the middle too... I have quite a nice amount of friends but I think we are all allready in the age where popularity doesn't really matter anymore :p

Erm, that's not exactly because you were popular...

Post by: Stryke 9 on September 30, 2002, 03:36:31 pm: Not sure. I used to be the sort of kid everyone tried to beat up and ****, then I became class toady, and now I sit around and make fun of my class, with them being generally too dumb to notice. I guess I'm pretty popular. And I have a good time with most everyone I meet outside of school. So yeah.

Post by: an0n on September 30, 2002, 03:36:34 pm: Every last person at my school knew me. My antics are the stuff of legends at that place.
Title: Are you popular?
Post by: mikhael on September 30, 2002, 03:38:27 pm: Popular? Not likely.

Even in a community of like minded sorts (the Navy) I tend to be a loner. I'm reasonably well liked, but there is no one who would point to me as a 'popular' guy.
Title: Are you popular?
Post by: Stargazer_2098 on September 30, 2002, 03:48:10 pm: I actually try to stear away from people, at least in my real life.
I really dont like people so much; that's why I have been a loner for as long as I can remember.
But I like it, actually.
It gives me freedom to think and to speculate, outside of the "mainstream".

I'm a dreamer; and I'm proud of it! :D

As for being popular; how can I be popular when I never actually talk to anyone in real life?
Being popular is not important to me, I actually dont care what others think about me at all.

Stargazer.

Ehhhmm, i wouldn't say 'popular' in that i don't hang with all the preps, but i'm pretty "well known" i guess, sincei started the hacky-sack club, the kung-fu club, and i co-founded the 'civil rights club' :)

also i know a lot of the girls, because i take pictures for the school yearbook and stuff, and i get to take pictures of the cheerleaders, etc.

You say all that likes it's a good thing. In my opinion, anyone related to, associated with or otherwise affiliated to any club(s)/group(s) should be lined up at break, stripped naked, skinned infront of the masses and rolled in salt before being beaten to death with a very large bat, ala the end of Casino.

At any rate, you wouldn't be able to get me to do any of that. We go down fighting for the Cause, and we WILL be victorious in the end.:D

Post by: beatspete on September 30, 2002, 04:07:23 pm: I suppose i am in the middle too. My school year is currently, quite small (about 30) other than that i know some people from other schools, but loads.
Anyway, i dont really have any enemies, but not loads of people who are dying for my attention.

Post by: vyper on September 30, 2002, 04:19:28 pm: Why am I detecting a slight inferiority complex going on in here?!
My answer is yes, btw.
Title: Are you popular?
Post by: Unknown Target on September 30, 2002, 04:19:55 pm: Gah. To elaborate on my previous comment, I'm teased every single day by everyone. Doesn't bother me, however, it does get to wearing you down after awhile. Good thing is that I'm naturally strong, so no one screws with me. My friends are asses, with one of them, well, here's a snippet:

Friend 1: "Hey ____"

Me: "Oh, yea, what's up?"

Friend 1: "Oh, nothing, hey, here comes ___!"

Friend 2: "Hey guys! Did you see last night's anime episode?"

Friend 1: "No...."

Me: "Yea! It was really cool!"

Friend 1: (Really Loud) "Well, DUH! You've got an illegal cable reciever!!!!!"

(BTW: That's not true;))

My life is ****, God, I wish I could just leave this stupid island.

Uncalled for.

Btw UT - that incident with your mate sounds pretty normal. If you want my advice (having had a **** life back in HighSchool) just keep telling the arseholes who bother you where to go, and if you can stick with you friends it will eventually get better.... :wink: *goes to reminisce and High School* Dang it was only two years ago.... :eek2:

Post by: Stryke 9 on September 30, 2002, 04:52:34 pm: Well, I should hope not. Last thing we need is him reproducing. Hell, look at Jenna- being Texan really is genetic!

Vyper: and you stop assuming I've got some kind of vendetta against you because we disagree. I argue with lots of people. Lots of people are victim to my biting wit. The two have nothing to do with each other- you just happened to be around.

REALLY. Just because some (most, here) people take abstract political arguments to be reflecting on themselves personally, everyone assumes I'm that stupid?:rolleyes:

dunno, I'm a loner, but everybody talks to me, dunno why. I sit alone in a railway station, and people come and talk to me. It's (it used to be )the first day of school, i don't give a damn about other peoples ( it's the first day of school, damn, leave me alone! ), I know nobody, and people come and talk to me. It's always like that ( funny, when I think people tend to avoid me in the streets, according to my friends, i'm supposed to look scary -lol, I wouldn't hurt a fly - is it because I shave once in a while, have black clothes and long hair?). people don't talk to me when i walk in the street, that's all.
Guess I'm lucky, would have no friends otherwise.
