chibi-master Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Today I broke up a fight at school. Two girls were rolling around trying to rip each other's eyes out. One of them had lifted up the other and slammed her back on the ground. I had to kneel down and separate them until a teacher came to help me. The more aggressive girl tried to punch me but her arm was tangled up in the strap of my messenger bag so she couldn't move. Later I heard the fight may have been over the aggressive girl's boyfriend. Also she has a history of violence and anger issues. Oops. O_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asrai Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I broke a dude's nose at school once. He'd physically and verbally bullied me for a year, along with all of his friends. I'm pretty non confrontational, so I just sort of took it and got on with my life. Then I found out that he'd kicked my younger brother in the stomach, so I broke his nose. I almost got expelled. Funny how the world works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyndy Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) So, on Steam, on a certain Left 4 Dead 2 server, I keep on getting numerous invites from guys that I play with. lululul. (got 3 this past 24 hours) According to Boo, this is because I am a girl. Playing video games. :| One time I started up L4D2, and I got four IMs in a row with invites. x_x One of them said that I'm the popular girl on the server. That made me laugh so hard. lolololololol And it seems that most of the admins already like me. Success! Edited April 8, 2012 by Lyndy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to resist the urge to hide one up a tree. Mainly because I can't climb trees since I lived in a desert most of my life and trees are in short supply there.
