reasons why i'm different

ok, well i was born in Harlow, Essex (South-East England).
i lived there until i was 7 years old, by which time
obviously i had learned to speak. unfortunately since my mom
was from Widnes, Cheshire (North-West England) and my dad
was from Birmingham (Central England) I had a mish-mash of
accents - Widnesian-Brummie-Essex. For that reason, the
teachers in my primary school used to say that i was "from
the wrong side of the pennines".

then at age 7, the whole family moved up to Widnes. since i
been born in the south and rasied there for 7 years, i had
got a very noticeable Essex accent, which meant that my stay
in Widnes for the next 5 years would prove to be "troubled".
During my stay in Widnes, i had acquired a keen interest in
technology, and anything to do with unexplained phenomena. i
was an avid viewer of The X-Files and had gathered quite a
collection of memorabilia and what-not. i had no
interest in the typical things that boys of that age were
usually interested in around Widnes (the main one being
Football) and so i was persecuted. in 1993 my parents
divorced, my father moved back to Birmingham. for 3 years i
didn't speak to him because of the circumstances in which
the separation happened.

at age 12, after getting back in touch with my dad i moved
to his house in Birmingham. after living in Widnes for 5
years i inevitably picked up a broad northern accent. also i
went to school in a predominantly asian school. and by
predominantly i mean maybe 3 white kids to a class of 40
pupils. during my five year stay in Birmingham i had
acquired a keen interest in alternative music, still did not
like football or cars or anything else that is typically
"laddish". my interest for computers grew, and i was deemed
the school geek.

at age 17 i moved back to Widnes, with a broad Birmingham
accent, issues from my turbulent school life, and a very big
passion for music.

there is a brief history of oscillik.

i await the flames

Technically speaking, you're a gypsy.

ok, well to be honest here, the reasons for my moves are as
follows:

the move at age 7: my nan - she was ill, we were the only
family who could be bothered to look after her, so we moved.
i was young, i don't fully understand the circumstances, and
to be honest i don't care because it's all irrelevant now
anyways.

the move at age 12: my mom had recently given birth to my
half-brother, and her attitude had totally changed,
and i didn't like living there and being shouted at and
blamed for every single thing that went wrong. also after
getting back in touch with my father, i realised that he was
a changed man and i'd missed a lot of years with him, so i
moved.

the move at age 17: firstly, i was getting blamed for things
in the house too often [again :(], secondly i wanted to do
Music Technology at college and the colleges in Birmingham
wouldn't take me on because i had abysmal GCSE grades,
thirdly i was pretty fucked up in the head from by my
"girlfriend" (there is a perfectly good reason why she's in
inverted commas, which i will not go into on this board)

am i still a gypsy?

I just went to start a tread titled "Why I am Average" and
in doing so I realised I am pretty special.

horay for me.

hyakusen

i think i'm different because everywhere i've been, i've
always had a different accent from the locals, i have always
had different interests than the majority of the local
populace, and i seem to have different views on things like
morals and respect.

giginger

please define normal for me

dog_belch

heh, well i am hoping to move to Burton-on-Trent sometime in
the nearest future so that i can be closer to my girlfriend.

Worried about peopls perceptions of you and if you're too
different or not different enough. I would say that's
normal.

to be honest, in age of high techique gadgets and strange
fetishes, having different accent and not minor hobby isnt
making you different. you would be different if you would
say like " i think that food fetish is a disease", yeah,
then you wouldnt be normal.

you see, we have everything reversed nowadays.

giginger

ahhh i see, yes in that respect i guess i can be considered
normal :)
maybe i should have titled this thread "reasons why i'm not
accepted", that would have cleared things up a bit

hyakusen

yes i see - in a time where the taboo subjects are more and
more mainstream, things are kind of reversed. :)

yes i like it there, it seems a lot quieter than here. also
the people there seem a lot more accepting - i haven't been
shouted at in the street whilst walking through
Burton-on-Trent city centre at all, which is a big plus for
me :)

I used to pick on this kid in elementary school. His name
was Jeremy. We used to call him "beaner" on the account of
the shape of his large head. I found out years later that
he had commited suicide. His girlfriend was pregnant and he
had just lost both of his jobs. so he hung himself.

I felt kinda bad. Like we had been responsible because we
were always picking on him. The kid that picked on him the
most was this guy named Tim. He was relentless, calling him
"beaner," "bean -head," "bean-dip," and other varaitions on
the theme. Coincidently, Tim was killed 5 years or so
before Jeremy's suicide.

Tim hung around with these "bad kids." This crew consisted
mostly of Tim, his bad friends, and their older brothers.
When Tim was in the 8th grade, he went drinking with his
friends somewhere on the Skykomish River in WA. Tim and
this other jerk, David, were horsing around by the river
when Tim slipped in. David was un able to pull Tim out of
the swift current, and Tim was washed down the river. His
body was eventually found pinned under a rock about 1/4 mile
down stream.

uhh.. not really sure how this relates to the topic. but i
thought i'd tell a little story.

Get yourself to University, in a big city. Meet loads of
cool people, have the time of your life, meet a girl, get a
cool job. Be rich and happy. The end.

I was a little known porn actor and I moved to a down town
area to shoot some films. I was out on a job one day
shortly after I began working there and I was shot the fuck
up by pimps jealous of my fucking skills. My body was taken
and everything other than my brain and face was replaced
with robotic parts (even my penis). I am now known as
robocock and I am a world famous porn star.

Yes, I am capable of multiple ejaculation spurts. (5000 a

Women just want me for sex :(

I have nothing to say but; you are not alone.

I am a product of divorce, yet my parents were quite keen
and allowed me to go wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted.

Till this day I have only them to thank for thinking of me
first and not themselves. I can only look forward to
putting that kind of respect towards my future children.

Unfortunetely it looks like in your position you had quite a
difference experience than I could quite imagine at that day
and age. I'm glad you were able to recognize your condition
and react accordingly. Life is hard sometimes within a
divorce, let alone in your case where the actualy
geographical location really matters that much to your
upbringing, friends, community, etc

thanks for sharing, m8.

Osc,

Some of the people on this forum deserve no reply...so why
bother? Again, ... it's always nice hearing from someone
else willing to open up and show who they really are. Good
day.

you sound exactly like a lot of people i know. and perfectly
normal.

there's a lot of people in the world. sure, close up we're
all unique, but from a distance vast swathes of people are
essentially of the same kind. marketing people call them
demographics, but that's a shitty term.
