Yeah, really. I've started adjusting my clothes by myself, since I can never find any that fit me.

Try finding something in American size 00 for someone as tall as myself. Now, that's hard. Everything I find that fits me around my waist is always five inches too short. I don't mind loose clothes too much at least, as long as my clothes are not so loose they're slipping off my body. My rib cage is freakishly large in proportion to my body, so I'm always looking a bit like a greyhound, thanks to the way my stomach pretty much juts in. Hence why I have a dislike of wearing the tight fitting clothes that most females seem to wear today. Mens clothes fit me a lot better, hence why I'll do most of my shopping in the mens section, but I rarely can wear my guys clothes to school, because every calls me a crossdresser. My classmates are such hypocrites. Almost every girl in my school wears pants and a shirt, which were considered mens clothes until about 50 years ago, so why make such a fuss about whether the clothes I wear are a tiny bit looser and more comfortable than the torturous pieces of fabric they expect me to wear? Please ignore that last little rant, had a bad day today.

[Chere and Rose]

Yer, I'd rather wear something a bit more loose and comfy, but still decent. No need for uber tightness.

[Zenoah]

Agree'd!
Wear what you wanna. Dont let others influence you on what to wear.

[Icewing]

Yeah, I try to. I am just starting to get tired of stopping rumours whenever I show up to school in a suit. My classmates really have no sense of style, in my opinion.
*random change of topic* So, does anyone else start to feel stupid when people start talking about philosophy at the dinner table, or is that just me who gets a headache whenever I hear people talkimg about philosophy over meals?

[Sly]

Well, I rather like philososophy and thought provoking conversation, so I suppose I can't really relate there....

[Weaseldale]

I tend to enjoy philosophy, so... ^^;

But I know enough people that don't that I can assure you, you aren't the only one. >> << Awkward sentence seems... awkward.

[Icewing]

I also enjoy philosophy quite a bit, and I love thought provoking conversations, but, some reason, being around my twin sister makes me feel really stupid. Probably because she understands why people do things, while the socially awkward me doesn't understand what motives people have to do things. I suppose I'd best sticj to my biology and chemistry, and leave all the philosophy and psycology stuff to my twin.

[ecco]

i've studied philosophy, so... im also a big fan XD i'll discuss it anywhere and everywhere. i don't claim to be an expert but i love discussing and debating things like this. Philosophy of Religion was my favourite unit we studied...

have you ever told your classmates when they're being mean that the reason you buy guys clothes is because you can't find womens clothing that fits you properly? I think alot of the time the reason people are so insensitive is due to ignorance - they probably dont realise how hard it is for you.


i think its a good thing to have different skills to your siblings.. my older brother is the scientist/mathematic/generally really smart one... i'm still smart enough, but i never did as well academically for a lot of reasons XD but i'm the one that understands people, and is actually social XD my brothers like my dad... quiet, shy, and keeps to himself for the most part.

[Dr. Tick Tock]

In real life I have a lot of trouble with debates/discussions/philosophy stuff. I really have a hard time speaking, I mumble and stammer and stumble over my words... it's just awful. It gets even worse if I have a strong opinion about what I'm talking about (which I do for most serious matters such as religion, abuse, equal rights, etc).

Online, or via any writing method, I absolutely love discussion. I've left so many crazily religious people unable to reply to me because I'm just generally very self-trained at writing not only creatively but writing what I'm thinking and feeling. I also am a whiz at search engines, which helps in online debates. But you can't exactly stop a real life discussion to go look up facts on Google.

I suppose that means I'm not as smart as I like to think I am, since the whole point of debating is to be able to know and remember supporting facts on the spot. But. Meh. I'll leave talking to the people who DON'T hide in their room six days out of seven >_>;

[Icewing]

I cannot talk to people in real life whenever there's a debate or a serious discussion. I have absolutely terrible social skills. Any debate or mock-trial I'm in, for example, the debate that I had today with my social studies class about whether Habeas Corpus should apply to prisoners of war, I will always be stuttering and staring at my feet. Not to mention I blush very easily, and the more I blush, the shyer I get, which makes me blush even more. My social skills are so terrible that my mother is starting to consider sending me to a psycologist because she thinks my terrible social skills are caused by me being depressed.

I looooooove debating online. Not only do I have unlimited facts supplied by a quick click of the mouse, but I also don't have to worry about stuttering. And I don't have to dodge any punches when debating online. But, I really hate insulting people or saying something that goes against their views, hence why I rarely get into debate.

Yeah, I find it nice for siblings to have different skills, although, sometimes, it feels like my sister has all the good skills. I mean, what use is having the periodic table memorized or being able to always hit the bulls eye in arcgery when neither of the skills will cone in handy in life? It seems I always manage to be excellant at all the skills I probably will never need.

[Chere and Rose]

Well, I think you're okay now since you're able to admit it. x]
Online debates do have their advantages. haha. more time to think out stuff.

[Icewing]

Yeah, another reason why I prefer online debates. I have to take a while to think things out, so real-life debates aren't the best thing for me.

Hmm... I should probably start practicing flute two hours a day instead of only one, now that I have more time. My flute teacher would like that. Maybe she would stop throwing her stilettos at me if I did practice more... It really hurts to get hit in the face by those shoes..:

[Anelir]

Yes, I took Philosophy in College. The professor was awesome. He was funny and made reading Plato's Republic fun, which is quite a feat. Evidently, he turned out to be my Tai-chi teacher as well, lol.

I think it always depends on the teacher. If the teacher is a pain it is going to make learning that subject a pain and then you will learn to dislike that subject; the subject could actually be really interesting too. Though I don't think it will ever matter who I have as a math teacher -.- I will always dislike math.

[Sly]

That bit about having a good teacher is true, to a certain extent. I mean, certainly a good teacher is going to make learning any subject more enjoyable; but, then again, learning anything is what you make of it...and you have to make the best of what you're given. Even if that means enjoying learning about things despite having a rubish teacher...if that makes any sense at all.

[Icewing]

Yeah, it definitely depends on the teacher. I absolutely hate social studies, and learning about the American Revolution tends to make me gag, but this year, I love social studies because my teacher is so epic. He lets us sing Civil War songs, plant Native American Milpa gardens, hunt mammoths with Atlatls, and, on top of tgat, taught us to play the banjo. He is an amazing teacher.
