Im sure you didn’t notice but you are the 1500th poster on this thread ! @IveJustSeenAFaceo
@Beatleva Don’t be stressed about it, it is November and it’s winter (unless you are in southern hemisphere). Making friends ain’t hard just use the old trick
Offer candies and gums
Or you can hook someone with similar interest in music and tv shows etc . If you still don’t make any friend we are here “Eight Days A Week “

Candies and gums become suspicious at some point though. People are wary of kindness! Very strange.
Just make sure you don’t arrive to school in a white van.
Joking aside, I think you’ll be fine as long as you stay yourself and don’t worry about what others think.

Happy to meet a US voter who voted, @Sky999! Don’t care how you voted, though I obviously have a preference, and they will lose the Senate by the looks of it! Just hate those who complain about their government but don’t help in choosing the direction to go.
A big “YAY!” for you!

for you
I agree. Your person may not win, but at least you tried. And maybe there is a next time, you never know. I don’t vote in every election;however, I vote in the ones most important to me.

I did on the US House District for my area because I don’t like the guy who is in office right now (and won tonight) and didn’t know one of the other ones, so I voted libertarian. No, my guy didn’t win, but like hell was I going to give a vote for the one I didn’t like. Sometimes its the lesser of the two evils. Other times its because you have to pick someone for a category if there are several categories in an election such as this just to cast a ballot. In my area, not only were we voting for senate and house, but also judges, and sheriff.
P.S. I like your avatar.

Offline Im trying to finish my last year of high school while maintaining my music obsessions and aspirations, sarting a band is harder than I thought it would be. I have been teaching my friend who is a few years younger than I am how to play bass. I have no plans for college and plan to devote my entire life to the making of music. My “bassist” asked me once if I was leaving after I graduated and I assured him I was staying around to be in a band with him. I have recently found out he plans on going to college after he graduates, but now I’ve been thinking that I’m wasting time trying to teach him when he’s just going to leave eventually. Is this wrong thinking?
With love from me, to you.

There’s no doubt you’ll make new friends, and (maybe I shouldn’t say this) different teachers might help bring your test results up!
Always difficult to leave good friends behind, but nowadays it’s easy to keep in touch with e-mail and that. When I was young it was all smoke signals, morse code and the new-fangled telegraph!

God ! Nearly always since I got the vote in 1985!
It’s been the places I’ve lived, and the silly people in those areas!
General elections. Local elections. European elections. Mayoral elections. Every time the feckers get it wrong!
I can think of 3 votes where people have had the decency to agree with my obviously far superior choices.
When I was in Croydon in the early ’90s, and Labour ousted the Conservatives. Two of the four Mayoral elections since the post was created, and we didn’t get Boris bloody Johnson.
I currently have the double curse of the clever buffoon Boris as my Mayor, and his brother Joe as my MP.
But I vote every time I am offered the chance, and would be ashamed not to after so many in the past have fought to give me the privilege of having my voice heard.
In my life I have been lucky enough to see those queues in South Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, a reunited Germany, in the US to vote a man of colour into the Whitehouse (when not so long they would have been lynching him) queuing for hours to have their voices heard.
I don’t care about the result, but the privilege of being given my say. Myself, I would go down the Australian route and have mandatory voting. To me, even if people just stick a blank or spoiled polling paper into the box, at least they have had to make the effort to go to the polling station, and many of those who wouldn’t have bothered will have decided to make a choice because they have to make that walk.
I hate with a vengeance the declining amount of voters in Western democracies!

Offline Its far better to vote for a perceived no-hoper and try and make a point about the other candidates and parties standing than not voting at all. I was and am thoroughly peeved that Scotland rejected independence but just because my choice didn’t win doesn’t mean i wont vote in future elections. How childish is that stance; i didn’t get my way so i’m not playing!!
Next year we have the General Election (not John’s ‘We Must Not Forget The General Erection‘) in the UK and we have to vote for either Labour (Ed Milliband), Conservatives (David Cameron) or the Lib Dems (Nick Clegg) to lead the country. How the hell are you meant to vote for any of them? And that’s the problem, folk are fed up with politicians but your vote does matter and it appalls me that turn-outs are generally incredibly low.
But i will vote for someone – anyone here want to stand?

Offline Religious people please stop reading now as I don’t want to annoy you for any reason with the following rant.
Okay – my (4 months to go and counting) ex-wife really pissed me off a few weeks back by sending me a text that ‘our debts are forgiven – praise the lord’. Apparently one of the fascist religious loons she follows had been praying over a bunch of bills his fellow loons sent him and god was going to forgive all their debts. Somehow, my bank didn’t get the memo, but my wife has the usual raft of excuses for why it didn’t happen.
In her fervour at this pending miracle she kept on spending on clothes and shoes and (…) and didn’t pay some of our joint bills (we still have some while we sort the house we are trying to sell) and I had to pick up the slack – which REALLY annoyed me given my car had been repossessed not long before (and I was trying to save for the upcoming stack of bills I mentioned up there ^).
Rave over.

I was wondering if perhaps you had too much coffee as I saw you were on past 3am (if I got my time conversion right).

Maybe you should help him. Do Good Have Good ! To get some members I think you should put some ad in newspaper. Duff McKagan (Guns N Roses’ bassist) joined them after reading the ad.
What instrument will you play ? What type of music will you create; Prog, Psychedelic, Hard , Folk, Pop , Rock n Roll ?
