Due to personal circumstance I have recently faced the prospect of moving across the country, and emotionally it's starting to take its toll on me. To be fair the actual move was fine, I consider myself a pretty outgoing and charismatic individual and don't really have a problem meeting new people. I've only moved to different family, most of whom I'd already met. I mean they're quite different from my family back home, quite a lot less laid back and a little higher strung... but I guess that could just be due to the fact I've only been here a few weeks. My cousins in particular have been pretty annoying, they're not really like me and it's been hard to integrate my character with them. But I guess it keeps things entertaining. I get on well with my auntie and my uncle and I sometimes clash heads, but I know he's just looking out for me.

I don't know if anyone else has experienced moving and not really knowing anyone, but how did you overcome the big change? I should probably point out that I'm not actually from the UK like most of you guys here at OCUK, so I guess there's a cultural difference to account for. I come from a place called Philadelphia in the USA, and when I lived back there I spent most of my days on the playground. I used to chill out to the max, relax and act cool, especially when playing b-ball up outside my school. Unfortunately though I encountered a handful of troublesome young adults who were up to no good, and they started making a substantial amount of ruckus in my neighbourhood. I had one little scrap and my mother got scared, she sent me packing to my family in a town called bel-air. I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air. I pulled up to a house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later. I looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to settle my throne as the prince of bel-air. What are your thoughts on this?
 
Yawn - what's with the current run of these style of threads? Start out like it's a story for it only to be the plot of a film/show. We've had Scooby Doo, Flintstones now this...?

Word. It's starting to get on my nerves tbh...

I think people just need to stop and think before hitting that post button, ask yourself what exactly are you trying to achieve? Do you really think the thread is going to be funny? -.-
 
Grissle, really now, your starting to get tiresome.

You may think this little "pretend you aren't the OP" game is witty, it's just boring.

I fail to see why you'd take the time to construct a reply if it's tiresome and boring? Do you feel like I'm going to listen to you? Is that what it feels like, have I given off that impression? Does my internet presence scream representation of a human being that needs correction? I thought this was the internet? We do not represent feelings, emotions, desires or acceptance. If you do, if I did, we should accurately portray that desire in a world where you need to be consciously appreciated, such as the real one outside.

I cannot claim to lust for acceptance, laughs or respect against a 7 letter name. That's not my game. Why would that be my game? The glory of anonymity is that the bounds of emotion that would normally tie you to a conscious resolve can be broken. Within anonymity you can hate or love yourself, flame or be flamed, say something stupid or say something inspiring without due consequence or conscious worry. The true glory of this thread is that I am every role, I am every person - while everyone else is still stuck representing themselves, thinking, doing and feeling themselves. Look at the confusion caused, the accusations thrown, the emotions frayed. You're genuinely tired and irrritated by my actions, what does that say about you? It says nothing about me, because I do not exist, and that's the very point.
