I agree with SofiasMami. I think next time when you are alone together and feel that it's an appropriate moment to talk, you should have a serious discussion about your friendship. Make sure to specifically mention the way you feel when she makes nasty comments about you in front of your other...

Arthur Russell is awesome. This song makes me happy. It sounds so effortless and was ahead of its time; Antony Hegarty sounds a lot like this. Vini Reilly is one of the most underrated guitarists of the 80s. Edit: can't seem to be able to embed videos...

I think it was either Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros. 3. I still have my Super Nintendo and enjoy playing when I have some free time :) Unfortunately I don't have enough time or money available to play the apparently excellent Super Mario 3d World on Wii U; I don't even own the console...

No, but I was convinced I was a dragon and not actually a human until I was at least 13 years old. True story lol. I frequently imagined myself transforming into a dragon with superhuman strength who could terrorize the ******** who were bullying me all the time at school. I believed that by...

Sorry for disappearing -- I've been really very busy with my family over the past few weeks. I really appreciate the replies to this thread. Thanks everyone for welcoming me, and thanks Veruca and Gutted for the words of encouragement!

Hi everyone, and sorry for this giant block of text. I couldn't find a way to cut it down without removing important details -- there's a lot going on here. Hope you are doing well. I'm from NYC, a place so densely crowded (by U.S. standards, at least) that to outsiders it could seem...

Hi Granny -- I may be new here, but I felt compelled to write that I had a similar experience when I was in high school 7 years ago. I was (and still am) a fairly nerdy loner, and I had three "friends" who on weekends would consistently call me over to play DnD and video games -- we had begun...
