Have you considered someone else with a mental illness? I was actually talking with someone today who mentioned kind of liking you....

I'd feel like a hypocrite if I didn't. Whoever it is feel free to message me. Thanks for the heads up, SP.

summer between school is only fun when you actually have something to do or people to see. otherwise its just another day/month.

my spring events are coming to an end. all the festivals and stuff and concerts. i only did like 2/3 of them. not my goal but oh well. i did some things i guess. i really wanted to goto the international film festival but was too scared to go alone and no one else would go withh me.

if i known i would have gone

So you're going to have to meet a lot of people before you find the ones you click with...it took me like a year to make my first real friend and that was with constantly meeting people online. Just keep looking.

I know what you mean about feeling unsafe with online dating. But there are ways to be safe about it. Don't give a prospect your address or ride in his car until you get to know him. Let someone know where you are going when you meet him for a date, and when approximately you'll be back. Take your phone with you.

I haven't found anyone through online dating yet, but I do have some stories, haha. And I became friends with one girl who I just couldn't be with in a romantic sense.

So is it worth it? I'll answer you in a few months. Trying it again. lol

I'm talking about meeting one friend. I met like 7 or 8 before meeting her and we just clicked the others maybe one I went out with twice she was a world traveler so interesting but our hours didn't match. Some people were too picky they wanted a friend to go out with at night in the city or something...some people were mean to their existing friends some people just didn't make an effort to do their share of keeping in touch.

There are no specific sites that are inherently safe you have to always be aware...I used craigslist and it has a bad reputation....ok cupid does have friendship settings.

School is the easiest place you'll ever meet people just set up a study group or grab lunch between classes.

I hope so too. Think of relaxing things or try to think of nothing but the crickets.

I did the same thing. My 30 minute nap turned into an 11 hour snooze. Now, I am wide awake, so I'll be until tonight.
Hopefully, I can stay up for 20 hours.

That's what I've been thinking too. If I can stay up until 8 pm I'll be OK again with my sleep schedule.

I'm hoping to stay up until 8 or 9 tonight.

It is so quiet right now. It is a perfect time to compose my replies to two emails. What are you doing to pass the time?

I ate some ice cream and now I'm just reading pc and another forum and watching cartoons with the sound off. There will probably be jackhammers later and I want the quiet as long as I can have it. I love peace and quiet.

I wish the world was always this quiet. I love this time of day. It is so beautiful. The birds are already singing.
