Positive Rants.

[Rail Runner offline]

Ok, well, since we just had two holidays dedicated to our loved ones, lets have some positive rants about the good things that have happened to us...because life is good also, not just all bad. Im trying to bring up the mood a little bit, and instead of being dark and sad, lets reflect on the happier side of life. I will start. *credit goes to Mewberries151 for the idea*

Well...my positive rant goes a bit like this....No matter what has happened in my life, no matter what I have gone through, my family...friends, and others have always been there for me...I have beaten odds...13 doctors said I wouldnt live past a year..look at me now..all these years later...I am still alive.

I also have another family that cares for me...You guys...Lyoko Freak is my second home...You guys have actually gotten me through some tough times as well..my dads surgery recently...my brother being so far away from home and hes having trouble out there...and other things...you know...I am so glad to have every single one of you as a friend, you guys and girls are the greatest lot of people...and the closest, most friendly community I have ever been a part of.

So on this lighter note...go ahead and share your greater and happier moments.

Personally I love the comminuty we have here. Back in the other one I was in, it was practically RULED by the popular people, and ones like me were shunned very badly. I had some good times there, but it all went upside down when I often asked for help about some things (coding, etc.) and people eventually came up with the theory that I was WHINING. What, um. Yeah, asking for help = whining = ?? to me. Eventually I was horribly embarassed by someone, so I tried to turn it into a funny situation. Then everyone somehow got the hint that I talk too badly of myself and it spread. Eventually I left, never going back. Everyone there had very rude and snobbish personalities, but everyone here? Nowhere near. You guys are all really nice people, and that's the way it is. I've discovered my knack for writing witty stuff, and once I found Code Lyoko and came into this community, I was never happier.

The lesson being: NEVER. EVER. Go into the Petz Community. Unless you have very good talent.

A good idea for a thread, IMO. ^^ ... that wasn't happy at all, was it? xD;;

That story touches me deeply. So anyways... what exactly was this place that you were so horribly shunned from?

[Insanity Hero offline]

Lyoko Freak is one of the few places were I don't feel pressured by the members. I can say what I want and see what people have to add in. I've been on a few boards before and some of them I haven't returned to in over a year because I felt like if I said something wrong then people would make fun of me and not take me full hearted as a good member. But here on LF there are a lot of people that just know how to make you laugh and feel good about your self.

I know that if I'm going though a tough time I can alwyas ask for help on because I have great friends. Also I noted that LF doesn't have a lot of fights between the members and that's what makes it a nice place to hang out. So that's my small story.

[Rail Runner offline]

a small story, but a good one nonetheless...we are always happy to help each other, and that is what makes LF a good place. Ever since I joined in march, I was impressed with the place...and it never ceases to amaze me sometimes.

[Tekirai offline]

It was a forum called The Petz... variation of a BKO word. xD;; Despite the name, it was a really popular forum. The place I got embarassed in was the forum's AIM chatroom called 'Hats For Chat'- where all the 'cool' people went. I just went there 'cause I didn't have very many friends at the time. THE END. :D

It's dead know though and they tried to make a new one, 'The Petz Gathering'. Which. Just plain sucks. I saw it once.

The biggest difference is that LF is actually FUN. Unlike that detention centre...

[Rail Runner offline]

thanks for that explanation...well you are always cool here..so its all good.

I have a little story that happened friday evening...I was just sitting here hanging out on LF as usual..and my friend john calls..so he asked me how things were and I gave him updates on my various situations, so he says..well are you hungry...I was like yep...so he says ok..well I will pay for your supper then..I was like cool...so him and I ended up going eat out...not anything spectacular by story standards...but we do that every once in a while..i also buy his meals also. but anyway..more stories yall.

Ok this is sort of a positve rant I may or may not be getting a laptop!!!!
I mean if I do its not gonna be top of the line but at least I'll have my own pc! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mewberries151]

Thanks again for making this thread, Virtualized STI!

Now let's see...something happy that happened to me recently...where to begin? ^^

I'd say that something I'm really happy about right now (in addition to LF and it's eternal great-ness ^.^ ), would be that I have finally finished my Ulrich plushie (yes...my fandom-ness has gotten that bad *sweatdrop*), and am currently working on an Odd plushie that is about 50% done.

I'm no great shake at sewing, and these plushies aren't any sort of "super good quality", but they're...kind of cute? Really, I'm just happy that they worked out and look somewhat like who they're supposed to resemble. ^^ If and when I finish the Odd plush...I think I'll make a Scyphozoa plush next.

[Rail Runner offline]

are you serious....wow...you have to find a way to show us...a scyphozoa plushie would be very cool...most definitely.

Well I have my own positive story here...My dad is going to cali to escort my brother home at the beginning of august..and he knows nothing of greyhound and how the system works, so I am going to take a day with him, get his ticket, show him how things work, and make sure that he has a safe trip...all families should be like this..regardless of what happens sometimes...and he told me that since I am doing this that he will buy me lunch, but in all honesty..ill probably offer to pay...since I am just that kind of person.

keep the stories coming yall.

[Mewberries151]

I have no idea how I'd do a Scyphozoa plush...but I really want one (that squeaks too)!

Once I get my own computer back, I'll upload photos of them to my DA account and give you a link to them, if you'd like. ^_^

[Rail Runner offline]

most definitely.. you should find a way to get the real scyphozoa sound from CL and use that inside of the plushie, that would be cool *i hope someone comes up with a good story, I like our thread*

well..I guess I do have another story to tell...one time I was coming back home on Greyhound, and so I had to make a transfer of buses in Dallas TX...well, in the terminal was an upset girl, she was alone, confused..upset...you name it..so I walked up to her and asked her if she was ok, and needed help, she told me that her ticket had either been lost or stolen, so I asked her where she was from...she said Houston, well..Houston isnt extremely far from Dallas, only about 4 or so hours..so I asked if she had money for another ticket, she said no, and that she didnt know what she was going to do. I took her up to the ticket counter and told the desk attendant that this girl needed a ticket to houston, and she looked at me puzzled..I smiled and said, you will be ok, watch this...I pulled out my debit card and payed her way home. We ended up riding the same bus together, and she sat with me and talked to me all the way to Houston, she even stayed with me until it was time for me to board my next bus for home, hugging me and thanking me for what I had done..but I told her that helping people is what I do, and expect nothing in return. She waved to me and smiled as my bus pulled away...I was happy she was home, thats all that mattered.

Um, yeah, I'll be taking that plzkthx. xD I can't sew for frogs. Hooray for Ulrich!

I met a girl from my elementary school yesterday, which was good, 'cause we were old friends and she went to another school. We ran around and painted the town polka dot etc. It was fun. :D

[Rail Runner offline]

[Rail Runner offline]

well dude, here is what I can tell you, for me, helping people is just one of my good qualities..im also good at finding info if anyone needs, among other things.

I am glad that you are happy here at least, thats what most of us strive for here, is to help each other get through the hard times, and give people hope and friendship at the same time. The main thing is that you keep these good memories, and think back upon them in hard times, and remember that we will always be here for you. Even if you do leave, you are always welcome back here...We hope you dont leave..but what must be done has to be done.

As far as for what I did..as I stated, its what I do, I have to try and help people as much as I can, only then am I satisfied that I did the best I could do. Why do you think I am always in the Rant area. Some people might see that as intruding or being nosy, but if anyone needs, i will step up to the plate to see what I can do. Regardless of what some poeple think.

[YDV offline]

*claps at everyone's stories*

xD; I'm not quite sure what to say. Cuz I mean anything I have to say would probably sound like a lot of other people's... Eh. >>;

[Rail Runner offline]

it doesnt matter bro...just give us a good story that has happened to you...everyone has at least one story similar to someone elses, so go for it..no problems

[The BB of C offline]

I didn't think I would, but I have a positive rants.

Today, I don't know why, but I was reflecting a lot on how I've become more of a person over the past few years. I used to be absolutely retarded, obsessed with anything that interested me, and just straight up goofy. My parents had me convinced I had that BS excuse for a disorder called Aspergers syndrome. I still can't believe I bought into that crap. All I needed was to get my butt kicked and told off just how stupid and goofy I was. I had no friends, my grades sucked, I was sheltered and had no sense of what the real world could even possibly be like, and my parents refused to do anything about it because they were convinced by that quack psycietrist that I had some disease that doesn't even exist! Lucky for me, I had my older brother Dan. He saw just how bad it was and what the truth of my situation was. I wasn't retarded, I was just goofy and sheltered and nobody did anything about it. One day he sat me down and let everything loose on me. It felt like the worst thing that anyone could possibly say. I hated him for the longest time. Then, one day, I realized he was right. Doors opened up on me and the light shone through. I knew exactly what I had to do and how to do it.
Today, I have many friends. I'm one of the most respected people not only in my family but among my peers as well. I thought I was going to be a lonely waste of a human my whole life. Then I found out who I really was and I fixed it. Now, I encourage people to do the same. When I see a problem, I use the insight that I learned from my ventures to look into it even if I had never been in a situation like it before and I solve it. When I see people struggling with their personal and social lives, I do what my brother had done to me in hopes that they too will realize that they have the power to help themselves and be happy again.

[LadyLucy offline]

Oh, this is cool.
My possitve rant is about friends. Here (L.F.), and the few home. I've learned through life that it's hard as helk to trust people. Being stabbed in the back is not fun. But here, I have people who listen to me, and can help me laugh when I'm in my down phases (I've been diganossed with bipolar disorder for a year now), and calm me down when I'm uber hyper. My friends at home are very symular. Through them, I've only known happy times, wonderfully peverted conversations on the band bus, and way too much candy and anime. (too much Phantom of the Opera too, but that's besides the point) Even though we have differing views (politics and religion mostly) I don't care. They (and you guys) let me be me.
THANK YOU!!! *huggles*

[Rail Runner offline]

You are welcome Lucy *huggleglomps*. We will always be here for you and anyone else who comes to us with problems, thats what this section....well, the whole site is about in all reality...that is why we are all so close as friends...and I hope that never changes, although with the way things are going, I dont see that changing anytime soon.

I knew you could come through here B...and i am glad you did...if only more people realized that they can overcome their problems, then things would be much easier...but for some reason, they are scared, or even in some cases just too lazy to try...but anyway...thanks for that story.

Keep them coming friends....and by the way Happy 4th to everyone here on Lyoko Freak, may all of you have positive experiences today, and every day for that matter.

Deep down inside, over 85% of the time it's lazyness. The other 15% of it is an odd mixture of lack of courage, knowledge, or being stubborn.

[LadyLucy offline]

I FEEL SO LOVED!! *HUG*

hehehe...thanks.

[Rail Runner offline]

you know, without Lyoko Freak, I think alot of us would be worse off than we are now, its only because we have each other as friends that we are getting through things.

The other night, my friend Johnathan and I went out to eat at a local seafood restaurant...well..we had just finished and payed the bill, when the elderly couple at the table next to us were about 10 dollars short for the meal, well it just so happens that I always carry extra money when going eat and stuff, so I pulled out my 10 and handed it to them, they were so greatful, I just smiled and said, I hope you have enjoyed your meal, have a nice night, then we got up and left...in short, always be aware of whats happening around you, you never know when someone may need help..in any form.
