Yeah those are LARPers. Fucking shitty ones too, from the sounds of it. It's those sorts that give us a bad name. We had this dude there today (it was dress rehearsal, but like families and shit could show up I guess) who was convinced that none of our weapons could be real because he'd seen some kids do something like this before and when you saw a sort up close it was obvious that it was just shitty tin and couldn't hurt anyone and I had to go all convincing him that no this is real fucking steel we are working with here, we just rehearsed and shit so it looks good.
Quetzi, do you know anything about the Ren Fair that goes to Sterling, NY?
No not really. I'm pretty tied to the Connecticut one (you should come, it's huge). I only know one New York fair and I don't really even know anything about it, just that they suck shit at doing any sort of streetwork (mostly stage shows, no real one on one interaction). But I'm not even sure if that's the right fair.
Great homeschooling memories:
Attending conferences where I was taught that DATING IS WRONG and COURTING IS HOW ONE MUST FIND A WIFE
Having every single gone of my old homeschooling friends stop talking to me once I had the audacity to start going to an evil public school for high school
Never having the slightest chance of talking to a girl

High school sucked until junior year where I actually made some friends.
I'm hoping that I don't have to wait that long for college to be fun.
I learned the hard way that college doesn't just become fun.
Friends and dates don't just fall into your lap any more than they do in high school. Like everything else, it's what you make of it.
That's what I'm trying to do in college and not make the same mistake I did in high school.
So I've been talking to more people and asking more girls out.

Probably not. The Sterling one is huge, and a lot of street-level stuff. If the performers aren't doing a show, they just wander around having a good time and talking to people. It's pretty cool.
Plus, I've gotten to see it grow over the 10+ years I've gone, this being the first year that I haven't. When they built the gift shop, they actually turned it into a demonstration on how shit was build, and how to thatch a roof.

Rad man. That's how we are too. I mean, hell, I'm only in the opening show and the closing show, I'm a pure street character. Or I guess I'm in the fight show sometimes too but still, mostly streetwork.
I went to a private school for 2 years (7th and 8th grade). I hated it at the time, but in retrospect, I got a better education in those 2 years than I did in 4 years at a public high school.
The kid I sit next to in physics was homeschooled and is now spergin. Which is kind of sad, because I've been diagnosed with Asperger's, and I think part of what helped me was being around people and not homeschooled.
And yes, it did. I know how to interact with people, at least to some extent. Do I have trouble with it at times? Fuck yes. I am one of the most socially awkward people I know if I'm around more than 3 people. This kid, on the other hand, is just fucked. I mean, he has no knowledge of how to interact with other people.
Yeah. And the overdiagnosing is what's lead to people saying "Bullshit ADHD," including my own father and grandmother.
Yeah.
Try finding a nice way at 10 years old to say "Dad? Grammi? You're full of shit, fuck off."
A lot of kids I knew in grade school were diagnosed with ADD including me.
I however, really had it.
Most of those kids just needed to be told to sit the fuck down and do their homework.
Personally, I know when I forget to take my ADHD meds, because when I'm on the bus to school, my brain won't stop fucking going. I don't mean, "Oh ha ha, easily distracted." I mean, there's a constant steady stream of thought that branches off into other, semi-related topics instantly, fast enough that I lose track of whatever the first thing was within 5 minutes.
Also, my father kind of had to find out because my parents are divorced, and this isn't something my mom was going to not tell him.
Can't wait till I'm old enough to tell him to fuck off.
EDIT: Also, that's when you know Ritalin isn't for you. Personally, I think Ritalin is shitty even when you do have ADHD. The hardcore cases get Concerta. Think Ritalin, but stronger and continuous release.
Because you know when your brain won't slow down, no matter how much you wish it would.
EDIT: Oh god Pony I laughed at that am I going to hell?
The only time I didn't sleep for extended periods of time was right after I saw the Exorcist.

I got Concerta when I got into high school.
That shit fucked me up the first couple of days.

Hide and seek on a Friday night with my neighbors and a few friends.
Good times, especially the semi-fights on the playground equipment.

Really man? I don't know about dates yet but friends have just kinda shown up it is rad.
the basic ideas are idealistic and good
every person who tries to implement them basically just uses them as a system to fuck people up
That's what I'm trying to do in college and not make the same mistake I did in high school.
So I've been talking to more people and asking more girls out.
i thought it was just a fancy word for dating

you still have lots of friends jordyn
at least
i'm your friend
at least
i consider myself your friend
Like if two superheroes got in a fight and one superhero hit the other one with a house and was just all
'you just got homeschooled
Made me laugh.
Sell it to Marvel.
Form of autism.
And yes, it did. I know how to interact with people, at least to some extent. Do I have trouble with it at times? Fuck yes.

it is the new ADHD
both asperger's and adhd are legitimate medical conditions with very real effects felt by many
i am not trying to say they are not real
however
overdiagnosed? shit yes
adhd was basically the excuse when a fidgety kid had behavioral problems
asperger's is the excuse when a booksmart kid is socially retarded and find school difficult because of that
Yeah.

she did not deal with that shit well
basically, she just refused to accept it entirely and still pretty much does
i don't press the issue
i am happier in a world where my mother doesn't think i'm a sociopath
I however, really had it.
Most of those kids just needed to be told to sit the fuck down and do their homework.
and put on ritalin
WHOA NIGHT TERRORS ARE PRETTY COOL RIGHT GUYS
What?
I took ritalin as well and never had a night terror.
Also, my father kind of had to find out because my parents are divorced, and this isn't something my mom was going to not tell him.

I mean, how would you know?
generally speaking you only develop night terrors as the result of psychological trauma or chemical imbalance in the brain
if you have both and you add a brain-altering drug to that mix
boy howdy!
what fun you can have
by fun oh god mommy i haven't slept in three days because of the spiders
I must have ADHD
EDIT: Oh god Pony I laughed at that am I going to hell?
