Tired of being the "weird person"?

[the big kahuna]

What has made me the weird person at my school is my obsession with weapons and vehicles of war. It embarrasses everyone who knows me when I see a weapon and start whispering to myself wondering what model it is *"Is that a G36 or G36K? I don't know, the barrel looks a bit longer than one you would find on a K but too short to be what one would find on the regular. Maybe it's a custom.*, and this can go on for minutes at a time.

It gets even worse when I see pictures of tanks or helicopters *"It's a M1A2, not an M1A1. The M1A1 fires a 105mm round, the M1A2 fires a 120mm round"*

I may not be able to animate the vibration of of a cirlular elastic membrane with the initial velocity of 2*r*Cos[3*theta], but I can tell and show you how to take apart and clean a Barrett AS.50.

Unlike many people here I am glad to have my saphire-blue eyes. Red eyes are caused by a form of albinism which may result in partial blindness or poor eye sight later in life if the eye is not adequately protected (i.e contacts and glasses). If this sounds offensive then I apologize.

im sorry im just having a hitman moment right now.
silverballers, silverballers, silverballers.
(also known as a 1911 or hardballer (silverballers are painted to look silver). one of the worst guns ever made. only 9 bullets per clip and gets jambed alot)
i gotta say if it was me i would have finished them off along time ago.
thats just too much abuse for one person to take.

The Colt M1911 .45 ACP unmodified is one of the most reliable weapons on the face of the planet. What makes it unreliable is when people begin making enough modifications to it to keep Naked Snake rambling on for hours. I still have my grandfather's M1911 that he was issued in WW1 and it has never jammed. It has probably fired more rounds than it was built for, yet with proper maintenance and using ONLY approved rounds, I can shoot 253 out of 300 points at pistol matches.

This just pisses me off. These "christians" pull that kind of bull, and then we all get painted with the same brush. Religion isn't "bullshit" as it's been put, but anyone who thinks that way (her schoolmates and parents) aren't exactly what I would call rational.

If anyone is still reading this thread, I want everyone to know that the kind of thing wouldn't fly in my church. Real christians wouldn't bann somebody from a church because of eye color. Where I go we have a pretty collective bunch of people.

So please stop thee flame war...And I'll admit to most teenagers being completely retarded and judgemental.

I write, prolifically. And read, like I can finish a 400 page book in a week. I swore never to drink or do drugs. I also try not to curse. I disdain the "gangsta" lifestyle. I disdain the womanizing ways of most guys in my school system. I speak actual proper English, not slang words. I play video games (who here doesn't) for much of my day, it is my primary for om entertainment. I know things that classmates do not, mostly becuase I read. I have a five foot long walnut walking staff with a silver ring on top holding the capstone, a faux amethyst (my birthstone) that I walk around town with.

Somehow I've been labeled the "Emo kid" because I usually wear darker colors and write poetry. Somehow this translated into "emo" what doesn't fit me at all. Kids think because I don't go to parties to drink or swear profusely or skip class that im "stupid". Its sort of annoying when I'm one of the few men in my school that isn't a complete jerk and polygamist. I identify with women more, and I have more female friends than male friends. I try to help people through their problems instead of poking fun at them. Since I got a girlfriend I was barraged by questions of Have you done it yet?" "Is she hot?" "Can I do her?" eventually driving a wedge between us that I couldn't break. I broke up with her and it was hard. I am more emotionally fragile than other people, I talk about my emotions rather than hide them under lies. I try never to lie, but I can spin a story and make people believe it.

I do not know why I was labeled "weird" I know Middle School was not fun, mostly becuase I was weaker and could be bullied easier until I learned Swordsmanship and Archery and these kids learned to back off becuase I could stick up for myself. I'm something of the underdog, always invisible until I speak up and try to be heard. I have taken to a background role, I have few friends but I will never betray a secret and my feelings are always true. I guess in the eyes of my peers that makes me the "Emo, weird kid. Don't talk to him."

All because of Eye color? That really sucks dude. Meh, people are stupid, what are you gonna do? I would take red eyes over my boring 'ol brown ones any day.

What would you rather be:

A supposed cosplaying nerd, or a red-eyed demon child. (put some serious thought into it)

Red-eyed. The church can go to hell for all I care. That is just NOT ON.

 

[megapenguinx]

I don't think I'll ever not be the weird person haha

Wow. That's like looking at my own life, except for a few things. I've only just started to curse as of late, because it doesn't affect me, and I don't have a five-foot-long staff (and I haven't had a girlfriend), but otherwise, you're really quite like me. Or, at least, gathering from this. Have you posted any of your writings on FictionPress? If you haven't, may I offer you that advice? Anyway, It's nice to know there's others

theres thousands like us out there. What d you think the Internet is for? A place for the rejected ones to go and find new, better friends.

 

[Yegargeburble]

I was the weird, semi-quiet kid back in my high school days (which were only a few years ago). I can't really think of how this was a bad thing though, as the reason I didn't talk alot was that I didn't really care to talk to anyone. Even now, I talk to people online (mostly by way of my random posts in these forums) more than I talk to people.

 

[yzzlthtz]

Yes. Most of it, at least, according to some doctors. It's actually considered a disability - a minor one. I like to think that I am actually left handed in my brain even though I am right handed, if that makes any sense.

 

[Thegoodfriar]

I have asperger syndrome. its a mental disorder in the autistic spectrum. in other words i act diffrently than other people. i stare at people and i can't tell if someone is joking or not. it makes it realy hard to make friends. i just wish that people could see past that. plus im fat so that doesnt help eather.

Dude I have two friends with Auspergers, they crack me up.

 

[Insomniaku]

That's really unfortunate, extremely ignorant on the church's part ( and for the most part is why I can't stand it). I can almost guarantee though that you will have a much easier time filtering out the people who would truly support and care for you. As I'm sure your boyfriend does... For all it's worth I think that would look pretty sexy anyhow

 

[willer357]

dude, If I had red eyes, I would think of myself as fucking awesome.

 

[Hobofisherman]

I've always been seen as the weird person but it never stopped me. Its an important part of my personality and I'd never want to lose it. I guess it all started because I was a pretty weird kid. Hit puberty at age 9, and even though I was quite reserved and quiet, people still noticed. When I reached about 13 was when the 'weirdness' as people saw it was at it's highest. I used to have conversations with people and mention topics or philosophies they didn't understand, which is normal for most 13 year olds, so I sort of got labelled weird because of that.

The best decision I ever made though, was to not let people put me down and pick on me. How did I do this? I threatened to kick this shit out of the ones who insulted me directly to my face. Most of the time the threats were enough, but sometimes not and I had to fight. Needless to say it worked.

I'd say my weirdness has got me where I am today. The friends I have made may not always understand where I'm coming from, but they certainly value my quirkiness, and because I know they don't mean any harm, I can let them go and laugh about it. Besides, when youre out on the town and have been drinking nothing but double vodka redbulls all night, the drunken ladies love the weirdness!

Oh, the drunken ladies love everything. That's why I love them.

[Cocal]

First off, people in your school know who Desu is WTF. Second you could play off the whole Satan thing and just become a total Emo/Goth kid lol. Thrid just get better color contacts.

 

[quack35]

I'm probably really lucky to go to one of those schools where you have to take an actual entrance exam to see if you're even somewhat intellectually competent before you get in.

I'm sorry for those of you surrounded by 'tardcards...

 

[vampirekid.13]

Are you tired of being the weird person that no one will talk to? Tell your tale and/or thoughts:

I was born with naturally red eyes (genetic defect) yet my right is darker than my left (which is also my worst eye). All my life I have been called a "witch", a "demon", and "the daughter of Satan" by people who saw my eyes. My parents were banned from their church because of this, and they've never forgiven me for it.

This changed (somewhat) in 2004 when I had to get corrective lenses for my left eye which was becoming worse, and contacts were my only option. I wanted to get a different colored iris to hide my left eye so my optometrist decided to make it green since green is the pposite of red on the color spectrum. So I ended up looking like Suiseiseki prior to Rozen Maiden. This was not a problem until I enter high school 3 years ago, and by then a few had seen RM. So then I became the laughing stock of my school.

Now they call me a "nerd" and a cosplayer" and that I dyed my hair brown (which I didn't). My reputation is so trashed at school that no one will talk to me except for my boyfriend will talk to me. I have to keep Clorox wipes in my locker because someone writes "Desu" all over my locker every day. It gets even worse when I get home, where my parents want nothing to do with me.

I'm really sorry to hear about that.

I'm the same way kinda, i have an European accent, and i talk fast i guess, i get trashed because of it, everywhere i go in America.

it gets to me really easily, because my spelling is flawless and i know it, and my grammar is flawless and i know that too. In real life you wont get the opportunity to make fun of my bad grammar or lack of vocabulary. Because of this i get trashed for my accent, which gets me mad, showing I'm mad about it gets me disliked by people, but i really cant help it.


its offensive, anyway, i have no friends, i have no one to really talk to much, besides 1 person.

i joined the navy for some quick cash so i can get away from school and people...


I'm just killing time w/ a demanding job until my time line expires naturally...

 

[British Fiasco]

I have Aspergers Syndrome, I guess this makes me weird.

Yay!

 

[JWAN]

don't listen to them, if they cant handle the fact that your eyes have something wrong with them that's pretty stupid.

I got my own issues with being weird and I know its different for a girl than it is for a guy but lets face it
Light Brown hair with gray (premature gray hair, they say from stress and college ain't helping)
hazel/blue eyes
6'3
250 pounds
they call me Herman the German

I don't talk to people and usually the first reaction i get is that I'm creepy because of my height, it probably does not help that I don't talk a lot until people get to know me, lets face it I repel women like a crazy drunk old guy living in a trailer.

the end of the story is I'm sure your a fine individual and THAT'S what people should judge you on, once you get out of that high school bullshit your going to do fine

as for the church, what church was it? I have severe issues with churches excommunicating people because of one persons personal opinion. Usually my church gets a few people who have had that stuff happen to them and we welcome them just like anyone else because they ARE like everyone else, good people looking to help themselves spiritually.
