i don't like hearing one of my friends saying that they're depressed...i don't like hearing you talk like this. listen, the bottom line is joe, you're a cool kid. so what if you don't have a girlfriend now, who cares??? you'll get one eventually. and besides, most girlfriends just cause a whole bunch of trouble and confusion, stuff that you obvioulsy don't need at the moment. i agree with you, you're not going to die alone. you will have a companion, someone who wont take you for granted, who will love you for who you are. you just haven't found that person yet. college will be so much different for you joe, it'll be a change that you're ready to make, and i guarantee you'll meet her there. chin up and be the sarcastic bastard that you are joe...i like you like that ;) ~love me

Heres my story, I know its looking like I turned into Brian Shertz after about 3 drinks, but I'm not. Seriously, I'm down on my luck and I don't really know what else to do. These past three weeks have been hell. Yeah, they're that bad. I mean its like I'm so depressed that I'm to the point where school is just an afterthought. I don't care about school, I don't care that I'm failing Government, I don't care about the senior paper, I don't care about anything other than me finding someone. I would trade anything I had just for a decent girlfriend. I just wish I could get to know Aurelia a bit deeper. Its kind of hard trying to get to know someone whom you rarely see in person and only talk to over the internet. I highly doubt she'd be interested in me anyway, after all I am a complete nerd by all standards. Christ, I still play with action figures! Its so hard nowadays considering that everyone else you know has a girlfriends (they may be homely by all standards, but they're girls). Fuck... its just eating away at me as I

well so what if you are failing government? you're right. who cares? who the fuck cares? do you? no. so then it shouldn't matter to you. and so what if you are a nerd? you'll find some nerdy girl out there too and then you guys can be nerds together. joe, there's so many guys out there that i see that have girlfriends and i don't know how they do it, but you actually have a reason to have one. don't worry about it. it'll happen. i guarentee it...~me

Thats great if that part about Jill Johnson getting her ass-kicked is true. I hate that girl, everyone in my science class wish's she'd die or something, her voice is so manly. Don't be sad Joe, you'll find a woman and you know it. You'll meet the right girl when you least expect it hun.

yes, it is true, but it wasnt me alone. Amanda did most of the beating, i just initiated it...btw, who is this Jo character?

Re: Haha

[joewonderbread]

this Jo character is more of a woman than you, that I can reveal to you

Re: Haha

[kells08]

if you were referring to "jo" as "joewonderbread", then you are correct. jo is more of a woman than me. reasons: you like men too, you dont have a penis, you have boobs, you have a higher pitched voice than me, you like the powerpuff girls, and you are in love with Brad Pitt. if you have another explanation than the fact that you are a girl, please explain...
