Ok. As many of you know, I have a hate towards having real-life friends. I have set up metaphorical "walls of diamond" to keep friends away. Meh. Someone has tunneled through them. A girl named Elizabeth. She constantly ragged on me to try to get me to talk to her. More through annoyance than wanting to talk to her, I eventually just decided if talking to her would get her to leave me alone, I might as well. Well, after that first "chat", she wouldn't leave me alone. So I talked to her some more. And more. And now, I suppose you can call her my "friend". Meh. I hope your happy, Dinaverg.

Sounds like a good, healthy relationship.

"What's Hebuca to him?"

Shame on you, Naliitr.

Shame on you, Naliitr.
Shame? Why?

I have an unnatural aversion to real-life friends too, but not as much as you I think.

I believe the megatokyo line is correct for this.

666 posts. SATAN!

Anyway, she'd most likely slap you.

Or fuck you.

It's win win in your case.

No shit. Slap me = She leaves me alone. Fuck me = Loss of my virginity.

Yes, I'd say those are both good things, unless she has STDs. Then it is a win-lose situation.

she's ugly. then its win-kinda win(if you're into that)

Yes, I'd say those are both good things, unless she has STDs. Then it is a win-lose situation.

Condoms normally protect from most of them. Unless she's got herpies, but I doubt that she does, but make sure the lights are on and look at the bits and peices.

Meh. She's not a slut. So I doubt she's not going to have STDs.

Shame? Why?

Nothing, Mr. Data. How do you respond to this newly acquired stimuli?

How do you know I watch Star Trek? STALKER! Oh. Anyways, I'm finding it rather good, concerning the fact it's ONE friend. One is much better than many.

...One can draw in more. Then it's a triad, from there...it goes to hell.

Get rid or her.

I'll fuck her. Then I'll throw her away like a tissue. :fluffle: J/K. I'll either keep her, making sure she doesn't bring in any new people, or I will throw her out.

Are you like a highschool emo kid with a tear drawn on his face?

Dude, I honestly dont see why your against a real friend. I mean, come on, she likes you so go with it, dont be an ass and just go with it. Its not like she's proffesing her undying love for you and wants to get married. Friends aren't all bad.:p

Woah woah woah. I keep out of social stuff in highschool. Far too much drama.

Dealing with the relatively inane drama of highschool will help when you have to start dealing with heavier drama later in life.

sounds familiar, without the depression. more videogames, fake happiness.

why would she talk to you if you're an outcast/loner/keeps-to-himself? i smell bet!

(paranoia!!!)

Just as a random point, it seems to me that those without friends are usually not the ones that don't want them, but just aren't accepted by most people(read:loners, wierdo's, etc).

Let me let you in on a secret: Popularity really is the key to happiness. So make friends, go to a party, get drunk, and get laid by the fat chick that's only allowed in because she's a known slut.

I celebrated my 666th post with The Beautiful Darkness, but I didn't drink all the booze. Anyone else care to partake before I change my mind and regret offering it?

Nothing, Mr. Data. How do you respond to this newly acquired stimuli?
Ha! i understand that reference! I am such a geek....:D
And it's "stimulus" in the singular. (Told ya) ^

You know what Stargate: SG-1 says: "He who has too many friends has none."
(nobody pull that "birds of a feather" crap with me; it won't work)

She'd laugh in your face.

I doubt it, if Naliitr's description of the situation is even somewhat accurate.

Yes, yes, they are.

(paranoia!!!)
Or maybe she pities him? Could be she just has an affinity for the reclusive ones. I've heard rumors of such attractions for me, which is wholly unnatural and unholy, but I've never met anyone who harbors them.

I doubt it, if Naliitr's description of the situation is even somewhat accurate.
I don't. I think she's think it's some sort of joke, not actually take it seriously. If she really does like him enough, she'd certainly not dare to think he would be serious. That would be too painful for her. I'd know. I think about anguish due to social interactions rather a lot.

Are you like a highschool emo kid with a tear drawn on his face?
Hey now. We've already ascerned that I may have started some of the emo's on their way, but we have also ascerned that I am NOT emo.

And it's "stimulus" in the singular. (Told ya) ^

When referring to a human being's actions, stimuli is legitimate. If one is referring to a single action, stimulus is appropriate. In my case, I was referring to the former.

Yes, yes, they are.
True.

Somehow you make your version of happiness the epitome of my loathing of modern humanity.

(paranoia!!!)
Meh. If it is, oh well. At least that means she actually wasn't trying to be my friend. And the less friends, the better! But then I'd beat the crap out of her friends for deciding I would be a good person to fool. No one fools me.

If you want her to go away, rent the movie "Elephant" and invite your over to watch it. And when the two guys start making out in the shower, you should masturbate right there. And when they start shooting people up, you should shout out, "Yeah, shoot the bastard," or "Yeah, mother fuckers!" If that doesn't drive her away I don't know what is...

Ever heard of cracking a walnut with a jackhammer?

Meh. If she pities me, that will make me hate her. Greatly. Friendship shouldn't come because she pities me, it should come because she likes the person I am. But if she likes me for my reculsiveness, that'll be interesting.

Nope, still just singular. I'll not let you try to slip by on a technicality devised by people who barely spoke the language.

Laughing at someone in their face can be taken as laughing at them, in a demeaning manner. Now, I'm sure she'd consider it a joke, but not of the venomous variety.

I'm sticking by my position. I've backed it up, let us see your reasoning for denouncing it.

That's where all my real friends come from: reclusiveness. I've been regretting having a moment of weakness four years ago, though. I think I'd be better off without them.

Is it like killing a fly with a cannon?
Nah. More like killing an ant with a giant battlemech.

The point I was making is that she wouldn't take him seriously, but if he was serious, she'd feel bad later for laughing. That was the implication. Pardon any obfuscation.

Do I really need to define "burden of proof" for you? If so, stop now before you get yourself pwned.

In that case, agreed. Pardon any ambiguity.

Or cutting someone's hair with a lawnmower...

Oh. So it's like curing all disease by shipping humanity into the sun via FedEx?

Do I really need to define "burden of proof" for you? If so, stop now before you get yourself pwned.

You're not being forced to state your reasoning. However, I'll just assume you're full of hot air if you don't. Argumentum a silentio. ;)

Of course.

What will you all think if she actually becomes my girlfriend? AND if I introduce her to these forums?

You're not being forced to state your reasoning. However, I'll just assume you're full of hot air if you don't. Argumentum a silentio. ;)
I'll take that as a "yes" for explaining burden of proof. You are trying to prove something is, which cannot be assumed to be true, so you must prove it so. Then I respond with my reasoning and win anyway. At this point it doesn't matter. If you don't want a decent debate, fine, we won't have one.

What will you all think if she actually becomes my girlfriend? AND if I introduce her to these forums?

If you do the latter and she spys this particular thread (If it lasts about ten years) then at least you'll know what NOT to do when you get another girlfriend...

She went all Ronald Reagan on you :p , but seriously good job. Friends make life more enjoyable.

Ah! Heresy! You wouldn't dare!

Yeah. The incongruity of the statement is hilarious.

And? What would be wrong with getting another Generalite to join our ranks via my pure sexiness?
I would be jealous. I can't even get my apprentice to join. On second thought, yes, parade her in NSG that I may woo her with my wily e-charms. I have a curious tendency to say just the right thing to women online sometimes.

Action - singular noun
Stimulus - singular noun

Actions - plural noun
Stimuli - plural noun

Must I define singular and plural? Unless there's some obscure rule in the English language that I'm not currently aware of, any argument you put forward is null and void. The burden of proof is on you.

Lots of them. No, it's not on me. It's on you for trying to prove that there are indeed multiple forces at work. The only stimulus I noticed was the addition of a real friend. Anything else is either a biproduct of that or irrelevant.

Lots of them, eh? How informative. By stimuli, I meant the multiple actions of the girl, not the girl herself, or any singular action taken. It isn't a difficult concept to grasp. I had assumed the readers would instinctively realize that.

So, would you prefer my sentence's plurality made apparent?

vast - very great in size, number, amount, or quantity.

I think one problem may be that you wrote "...this newly acquired stimuli." The plurality is not merely ambiguous; it is also inconsistent.

"This newly acquired stimuli" can be viewed as plural or singular, but requires the foresight and ability to connect the dots, so to speak. One should ask for clarification rather than denying its plurality outright. Perhaps I should revise it to "this newly acquired set of stimuli" to prevent further mystification. That's what I expected everyone to understand without me being forced to demonstrate. Sigh.

How about if you told her you didn't like her and tell her to stay the hell away instead of toying with her? It's cruel.

Sorry, but you are flat wrong grammatically here. "This newly acquired stimuli" is necessarily wrong. You can choose between "this newly acqired stimulus" and "these newly acquired stimuli"; either of which would be correct (gramatically). However what you posted was so thoroughly ambiguous that it is unreasonable and uneducated to expect anyone to understand whether you meant the stimulus to be considered as singular or plural.

If I said "this red cups" you would say that I had made a mistake. This is what you have done. Accept it and admit it.

Naliitr seems to be enjoying the attention he's receiving from his new lady friend. I'd very much like to find out her motivation for incessantly pursuing him.

Really? Because I meant the actions of the girl as an extension of herself, and therefore, one stimulus. Your originally posted question was flawed, but I forgive you in light of your updated question.

What? Just because I don't want her as my friend doesn't mean I won't be compassionate and let her be my friend. Of course, I will hate her utterly if she's doing this out of pity or because of a bet. I will beat the crap out of whomever made her do the bet, if it is the latter. Meh.

It's obvious that she is really trying to corrupt you over to the Dark Side of the Force by winning your friendship and trust, then betraying you to Darth Sinister! The only option left for you is to get a long metal operating table, some lime juice, alkali solutions, a length of string, a steel wire cat-o'-nine-tails, a sledgehammer, long tubes of glass, a screwdriver, pliers, and a bucket of piranhas, then lure her into your basement... and the rest isn't really appropriate for a PG-13 forum, but you get the idea. ;)

Meh. I'm already on the Dark Side of the force. Wait, no, I'm on the Chuck Norris side of the force. Nothing can lure someone from the Chuck Norris side. NOTHING. I could use the cat-o'-nine tails for some of my S&M fantasies though.

Well, after that first "chat", she wouldn't leave me alone. So I talked to her some more. And more. And now, I suppose you can call her my "friend". Meh. I hope your happy, Dinaverg.

XD. I am...(then again, rare is the time i'm not). Liz, eh? got a boyfriend...Hmm...I should tell her to try and set you up with one of her single friends...

Isn't.
Then why did you refer to the person in question as "she"?

Apparently some gender confusion over me here? :p



XD. I am...(then again, rare is the time i'm not). Liz, eh? got a boyfriend...Hmm...I should tell her to try and set you up with one of her single friends...
Buffaw! The only reason I became friends with her was in hopes of her leaving me alone. But then she decided to talk to me more because of it... So unless one of her single friends can look past my voracious amount of zits, I will have no girlfriend for a while. A long while. Like, maybe 250 years, when I've gone through four more lives besides this one, and then the only way I will have one is to brainwash them... I just truely hope her boyfriend doesn't get pissed off...

He was talking about Liz after the first sentence.

I fail to see how that will help.

What? Elizabeth isn't Dinaverg, I'm just saying that Dinaverg should be happy because he's constantly ragging on me about my "Walls of Diamond" philosophy.

*shrug* You been watching too much TV? 1) Them zits probably not as big a deal as you think, the only thing keeping people away from you is probably your attitude...Well, that and the fact that most kids in middle school are just annoying. 2) Try ProActive, I hear from a trustworthy source it works.

Damn vague pronoun referrences! Sorry 'bout the mixup.:)

1) Hell man, they drove me away in the first place. I never actively seek out friends, but I never drive them away either. Problem is, friends only come across me, apparently, every 13 years of my life, as Elizabeth did. And now I'm forced to drive her away because I don't want to get beat up and swirlied by her big, powerful, and assholio of a boyfriend.

I fail to see how that will help.

1) It'd be funny
2) I can't think of a good reason not tp
3) He might end up less annoying for the experience, the people experience he seems to be lacking that is. Or he might have a good relationship, get dumped over with a post-it note, and cut himself a bit too deep. Either way, he's less annoying.

Meh. Like I said before, only reason I'm her friend is because she talks to me constantly. So I'm forced into friendship, somewhat. If she leaves, I go along not caring as always.

Right right....Yeah...You might not be saying things, but you get a lot of understanding from body language, and I can only imagine you ooze anti-social more than pus. And, do you even know he boyfriend that well? If he's really the type to pound you into a small, remotly Ritlina shaped pulp, tell Liz about your fears. I imagine she can figure something out, and probably get a good laugh out of it.

I was told that reclusiveness is actually a turn-on for girls... Does that make sense? I mean, I don't flirt like all the assholes do, I just sit there, and even if a girl like Elizabeth makes a sexual innuendo or suggestive comments towards me, I don't really respond to it, or if I do I make myself seem ignorant. Is my fake innocence/neivity a turn on? I wonder...

This lesser degree of annoyance of which you speak with such fervor: tell me, could it help avoid confusion due to vague pronoun referrences?

Of course he is. I've seen them walking in the halls together. They're boyfriend and girlfriend. And if I ask her to do something about it, it will merely draw my swirly day closer. I'd rather just try to ignore her until she eventually leaves me alone. Then I go back to lonerdom, and am slightly more happy again.

Probably a lie. I can't say I'd be an expert on the subject, but I don't think their minds are going "The more he rejects me the hotter he is". That's TV.

Ah, yes. You've seen him, so you know he's a mindless brute incapable of rational thought.

Gym class, my good man, gym class.

This lesser degree of annoyance of which you speak with such fervor: tell me, could it help avoid confusion due to vague pronoun referrences?

Most likely.

Gym class, my good man, gym class.

What? You know he's strong? You've gotten to know him in gym class? What?

Probably a lie. I can't say I'd be an expert on the subject, but I don't think their minds are going "The more he rejects me the hotter he is". That's TV.
But isn't being hard to get (And I'm not just playing, I am hard to get. I'm not desperate enough to where I'll be the boyfriend of the most used tissue in school... Besides, most of the girls at my school are either too stupid or too preppy for me to want to go out with them) supposed to be a turn on?

What? You know he's strong? You've gotten to know him in gym class? What?
No. But I've seen him in gym class. He's insanely strong. And I've heard his comments in gym class about the "nerds, geeks and dorks". There's no way I want to get on his bad side...

Maybe they think it's fun to have a challenge, someone from whom to try to coax some response. That's how it was with me until I responded...and they ran away crying.

I doubt it, but ask some of the females on here. Chance are your answer is "no", but eh. And yeah, most girls are...substandard. I go to a school of about 2700. Within my grade of about 700 kids, and 350 girls, about 7 are worthwhile. That's about 2%, and I'm sure I'm nowhere as nitpicky as you.

Most likely.
Yay!

Well, you really think your new friend Liz would be with that kind of person? Seriously talk to one or both of 'em about that. Anything really, walk up to him and say "If Liz were to be my friend, just freinds, you wouldn't beat me to a pulp would you?". With any luck, he's rather even tempered, if not, you get to feel some of those injury induced endorphines you enjoy, and tattle on him to Liz. That's always fun.

Ha. It'd probably be the same with me. Thing is, no one at my school knows what my personality is like. If they did, then it'd be thousands of more reasons for them to stay away from me. I'm a bit siczhotypal. (sp?) And a bit melancholic. And a bit dominant. I doubt I could find anyone who's personality would fit mine. And I don't mean will be like mine. I find love to be like a puzzle. Sometimes, you find a piece with nothing on top or bottom, open on the right, sticking out on the left. This piece obviously can only fit with other pieces like it. In other words, these personalities can only go with other pieces like it. But there are pieces like me, who are open on both sides. We can't fit with each other. So we have to find a piece which isn't like us to fit with. Understand? Probably not.

Self-injury releases better endorphins, as I know there is no danger to myself. But this guy will cause danger, and make the endorphin release more painful than joyful. And what would Liz do? Break up with him? Hell, she'd probably see me as a wimp because I couldn't defend myself then ignore me. Meh. If that did happen, I'd be happy anyways. And my luck tends to be bad...

Just saying that will ruin my friendship with her, which is a good thing without a doubt.

You underestimate me. Of course I understand. I am similar in such a way, but I am not so much a puzzle piece as an illusion of the shadow of a puzzle piece, which makes it incredibly hard for others and myself to figure out how I "fit" with other people. You're still in middle school? If you are incredibly intelligent and equally eccentric, you may well come across as something of an intellectual god who is also the most likely person in your graduating class to blow up the school. But you prolly don't fit that role. Instead you'll be the one with whom that person associates most. And I find that no matter what I think love is, it is always something else, something more. Perhaps that's just me never being satisfied with the status quo, but it may be something for you to think about.

Precisely. It is a plan, then.

Wait. Your saying I'm intelligent and eccentric? Wow. Never thought of myself like that. And concerning the fact that I have many a well-thought out plan to blow up the school myself, most of them involving gas-pipes and battery-bombs, I'd say I'd fit pretty good with with that kind of person.

The real question is: who isn't substandard to him? Answer: none of them.

I agree. It really depends on your standards. I think one should look for:

1. Intelligent, not dumb in the stereotypically "blond" way.
2. Independent, stands up for herself, doesn't have an army of dumb girlfriends.
3. Not giggly.
4. Not a snob.
5. Able to have insightful conversations with.
6. Looks

But that's only if you're serious about the relationship. Otherwise, just find a dumb giggly moron. Most girls are like that.

No, I said IF you are incredibly intelligent and eccentric. I can't respond to the blowing up schools part: I don't wanna get forumbanned and I have no real life.

I've got all those covered. Well, she may be a bit of a snob sometimes, but not often. You forgot one minor thing, though. Find one WHO ISN'T TAKEN.

I've got all those covered. Well, she may be a bit of a snob sometimes, but not often. You forgot one minor thing, though. Find one WHO ISN'T TAKEN.
Here's the thing. If I find someone who isn't taken, it probably means she fufills all of my requirements? Why? Because everyone who is taken probably can't fill my requirements because they fufill the requirements of the average middle-school guy/girl.

There's that too. I was thinking you probably wouldn't care enough to tolerate competition, so you'd never act on it anyway. But there is the off chance that the one you seek could "fulfill the requirements of the average middle-school guy/girl" but at once be much more than their requirements. Or one could be preoccupied with someone else who is equally as eccentric.

I was thinking you probably wouldn't care enough to tolerate competition, so you'd never act on it anyway.
I can tolerate it. I just can't beat it.

I am feeling somewhat sorry for Liz, though. She's such a kind, caring, compassionate individual, but her boyfriend's a total ass. All he'll do is hurt her in the end. I don't want to see her get hurt, but she wouldn't listen to me if I told her what I think about her boyfriend.

No, I said IF you are incredibly intelligent and eccentric. I can't respond to the blowing up schools part: I don't wanna get forumbanned and I have no real life.
Aww. But I want to be intelligent and eccentric...

I can tolerate it. I just can't beat it.
I meant you wouldn't tolerate trying to beat it because you would assume you couldn't, which may be true.

Meh. She's not a slut. So I doubt she's not going to have STDs.
You sure do love to toss that term around a lot, don't ya!

Look ... get this through that apparently thick lil skull of yours: "slut" is never, ever an acceptable term to use for a woman; ANY woman.

Even if they are one?

I know. But we can't all be me.

Even if they are one?
Then she isn't a woman.

Sounds like somebody is suffering from a Hedgehog's Dilemma

Ok. As many of you know, I have a hate towards having real-life friends. I have set up metaphorical "walls of diamond" to keep friends away. Meh. Someone has tunneled through them. A girl named Elizabeth. She constantly ragged on me to try to get me to talk to her. More through annoyance than wanting to talk to her, I eventually just decided if talking to her would get her to leave me alone, I might as well.

Don't encourage the situation.

Take it from me, I've been in that situation. No, she won't listen to you, she won't believe you, and she'll just say you're jealous (and maybe you are, just a little? The guy could still be an asshole, however). All you'll do is ruin your friendship. You just have to decide whether the fact that that will happen if you confront her is worth it to attempt to warn her off this guy. My advice is: if you're truly her friend, support her and when and if her relationship fails, be there to support her through that. Time to learn how to be a man, instead of a whiny, petulant little boy.

What do you think I'm going to do when it inevitably does. She's the only person in any of my schools who has ever looked at me for five or more seconds without thinking I'm a freak. I'm not going to let her be hurt.

Haha, now you don't get to be a loner anymore.
You have a friend, you have a friend, you have a friend, you have a friend!
Wait a sec.....that's a good thing.....*implodes*

Just don't "move in on her" right away if they do break up. She'll need time to recover. If it happens, let it go at its own pace. I wish I could give you advice on how to be the one she picks if she breaks up with this ass, but there isn't anything that can do that. You have to be a big enough man to accept her decision.

Ok. As many of you know, I have a hate towards having real-life friends.
Why? Friendship makes everyone happy.

I think he should make an eloquent statement of his observations while at once eschewing whininess. After he says his piece, he shouldn't press the issue, that way she respects his opinion because he had courage enough to state things as he saw them but without being a "whiny, petulant little boy." At first she may resent it and lose some trust in him. But if friends don't let friends be scientologists, there is no reason they should let friends waste their time and energies in a worthless relationship. Then when the relationship fails, she will learn to trust his judgment more.

Why? Friendship makes everyone happy.
Unless you don't like people or hate the friend.

Meh! Some of her (female, I might add) friends started the process of talking to me so much I simply be thier friend so that I might be less annoyed. Meh! I think Elizabeth is just telling them to do it so that I might be less sad. Hell, I think Elizabeth is just doing it because she pities me.

We told you that in the LAST thread, but you didn't listen. Does it really matter anyway? Isn't too late for you? Don't you already care?
