There IS something scary about a guy who would choose the Professor as his avatar, but mean, no -- I've seen how much you help newbies and how often you are friendly and/or funny. In high school, I was "that weird tall girl -- the one who seems to know everything and who reads those strange books." In college, I had to beat the guys off with a stick -- quite a large change in quite a short time. Nor am I alone in this experience -- the same large increase in popularity happened to most of my friends, both male and female. In my experience, the most interesting people tend to be unappreciated in high school but come into their own later on. (Not that I'm counting myself among the most interesting.) There's plenty about you to appreciate, Silver, and I look forward to the day when the girls around you wise up. `TheSilver said:Ähm... Nobody. People seem to think I'm a mean and frightening person.... Probaly right :teeth:
I agree. "Surviving" is the proper word for it. So, congratulations!And congrats on surviving high school, ArtreriGreyjoy.
Article on the aftermath: http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,631011,00.html (article is in English, if anyone's wondering at the link name. This is from Spiegel's International site)Seems the island wants the student to pay around €20,000 to clean up after the partyPetraSilie said:The waterlords are nigh… no-one dares to come out. Apropos water… ;D there are many unkown poeple in the worldwideweb and mostly you just know their nick but yesterday on Saturday something amazing happened.There is this small island Sylt in the Northsea in the very north of Germany. A 26 year old student from a small town from the main posted just for fun (and because he lost his girlfriend) "Let's make a beach party on Sylt this Saturday." Nothing was prepared or organized on location. He just said "come and bring your booze, food and fun." There were over ten thousand who replied they will come. But actually only 5000 poeple were granted access to this beautiful and peaceful island. Police and islander were quite upset of the (mostly boozed) beach invaders.It's here on our news, though it's in German you can watch the video.cheers
Make sure to invite him when you organize the international Witcher party, Petra. We can place the blame/cost for cleanup on him given his existing record for such eventsPetraSilie said:okay... let him be the scapegoat in this matter and it scares off imitators ;D
