Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ugh. I would have tore his face off for you. And the staff's. neutral

My story was, my friend and I were freshman and this one junior guy was being racist p***k to my friend, hating on him for no reason. We weren't even doing anything to these guys. Now my friend is the sweetest little bookworm nerd dude ever. So, upset that we weren't giving into their stupid insults, he pours his water all over my friend's head and throws the bottle at him. When my friend calls him a lifeless p***k, the guy punches my friend, and I go into ******** mode and shove the guy off of my friend. I could have torn his face off, but I wasn't going to get arrested for murder.

In retrospect I should of just torn that guy's face off, but instead I got knocked out and had my teeth kicked in against a pole.

After the fight, the police came in, statements had to be made, and the police gave my friend and I a terrible time. Worst cop I EVER met, picking on school children as if we were murderers, seriously. The whole time we were in the office, the VP kept going on about how the poor kid who attacked my friend suffered scratches to his back that my friend made while trying to get the guy off of him after his glasses got smashed into the ground. Poor poor bully, right? Never mind the fact I could have lost my teeth and suffered a concussion, ignore the fact my mouth and lip was bleeding and my friend had his own glasses shards stuck in the road rash he got in his face. It's only because the bully was having a bad day.

So we get suspended. The bully did too, but we got suspended. And we had to write an apology letter to the staff of the school for being terrible students not exemplary of their model student body.

It's weird for me. I sort of am too, but the Honolulu Police are a little more tolerable, for some reason. I think it's just because of the way people are here in Hawaii, they'll watch out for you a bit more.

Then there's the fact I associate calling the police with various events in my life that tend to be a bit traumatic for me, including like you've mentioned before, the look on certain people's faces when I told them the police were on their way. You really do feel like a bad guy as a kid when that happens. But what can you do? sad Makes me sad remembering it.

*hug Lori* Eh.

When I was in the mainland, it was an entirely different story. I absolutely loathed the police, had no good memories or experiences with them, didn't trust them to help when we needed it. They really taught me why people call them pigs. :/

Yup yup, born and raised here. smile And while Hawaii is sometimes a boring little rock in the water, there's a beauty to here that is roots deep, way deeper than the more superficial concept of Hawaii the tourism industry likes to portray. The way the people here live is hard to explain, but in that corny way, we call it the 'Aloha Spirit', and there really isn't any OTHER way to explain it. You should come visit one day, seriously. I'd show you the real Hawaii! That offer is good to anybody here in the guild. wink

And oh, I've had my share of outrunning the cops too. Nothing terrible either, my friends and I are just troublemakers. Breaking-and-entering, street art, run around abandoned areas type of troublemakers. Um, sometimes causing ruckus in the streets too...

Ok, we're a bunch of loud brats. gonk heart

XD Umm I dont know if I'd go so far as to call him a troublemaker. He got in with a.. not a "bad crowd", as such, but a bad crowd for him, if you know what I mean? Started skipping school and stuff. It was a combination of a lot of stuff, though, like lack of support from his parents and dislike of the school system and stuff. Owells, things are back on track now ~4 years later.

Strange how life goes.

Not to pry, but do you still live in the house with your dad?

It would do no good for me to spend the next ten minutes typing about how much I disrespect your father for doing that to you, or the fact that I know far too many fathers like that.

I'm sorry you have to go through that, Bapp. :/

I'm glad, Bapp. smile

My blood Mother is a drug addict who put me through a lot of unnecessary agony, and because of her selfish behavior, I had to grow up really quickly. She wasn't by the book a good mother at all, in fact, she was terrible and selfish.

But I understand why she acts the way she does. It isn't fair to me, but I understand. And she was my hero when I was really small. The fact that things have changed and I understand a lot more now doesn't change the fact that at the time back then, she was the reason I perused college and studying certain things that I did.

Everyone has amazing histories. =)

Mine's quite unassuming on the outside.. I've only ever lived in this house... my grandparents have basically raised me... quiet, country life. But I've had a lot of s**t that's made me into the person I am, you know?

I don't want to go into all of it, though. It's easy to talk on the internet, but I hate telling strangers about myself... no offense. D;

So strange it started off as a discussion of Bapp's apparent homosexuality.

Just goes to show anything can happen here - threads which state a completely obvious point (i.e Bapp's homosexuality) can turn into the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.

I loves me my guild, and my guildies =D heart

and the homosexuality digs were just jokes... so you don't have to start flailing, bapp XD
