How do you tell someone it will be OK?

GIN RICKEYS ALL ROUND.
mr. teacake is constantly telling me that walking is no exercise at all. We don't have a car and I am walking, walking, walking everywhere every day (which I enjoy). I also power walk up hills if possible. He's not the only person who has told me it is totally worthless either, it seems every friend I've had whose gotten into going to the gym a lot has told me the same. There is always a lot of quoting about cardio rates to go with these comments.
Some day I'm going to get so sick of hearing how my miles and miles of walking are "worthless" I'm going to say fuck it and spend 80 bucks on a taxi.
I reckon you've got some serious leg muscles from that. Get him in a scissor lock and squeeze the air out of his lungs and see if he says it's "worthless!"
Welcome, welcome, thrice welcome, Ashlynn (and yes, you too can come up with a werid name to hide behind later. 
).
While I'm male and in my 50s, what I went through in high school and (trust me on this) a lot of us went through, is where you are. It does get easier. It really does. Hell, I never kissed a girl at school, I wasn't too bad looking or too heavy, but the smart thing, well... in Australia we have what's called the "tall poppy syndrome" where any poppy that sticks its head above the others is the one that gets cut off. I was one of the smart ones. It wasn't fun. So I made friends outside of school, most of them older than me, people on whom I was more on a mental level with, and that worked. Things ahve changed since then a little too. As one of my favourite TVG characters says, "Age of the Geek, baby!"
College will be brilliant. More than school, it's about who you are and what you can do, not what you look like (and for those who are fashionistas, well, they are only there for a husband, I saw that close up too, so they're not worth your time).
But right now, you're in the middle, so let's see what we can do now.
Here, we don't care who you see in the mirror. We care about your words. So far, you have made an excellent start. You've shown you're funny, warm, witty and have excellent taste in sisters, as well as giving up Twilight, a very big plus for me.
Want something to read? Discworld. Nothing better. Start with the Witches series-with-a-series, and immediately follow with the Tiffany Aching series-within-a-series, which is about a girl growing up, with a few extra burdens. You'll see what I mean. Your library should have them. And then there's the rest of the series, which is just so good. You'll wonder why you read Stephanie Meyer. Or, as far as I'm concerned (thought a few will disagree with me) Rowling. So there.
Movies? I don't know. POTC 1 and 4 (2&3 are OK, but too OTT). There are a lot of smart films out there - I like 'em actiony with a bit of smarts, so don't ask me.
Umm, let's see. TV. Of course! Daria! Again, I'm a fat old guy, but Daria is a hero of mine. Because she gets to say all the things I wish I'd said in high school. If you haven't seen 'em, hunt 'em down! And of course any flavour of ST and Doctor Who.
And one again, welcome. I really mean that. Get involved in the conversations, you may be lightly mocked for some of your opinions, but never maliciously or with hurt in mind. Besides, we're words on a page WHO CARES?!
But don't go to TNZ, it is the most wretched hive of scum and villainy on this side of the galaxy.
And hey, y'all have a nice day!

Isn't that what Janeway said about Paris?"Spock's Brain" is underrated. Or looks better in retrospect. Or something.Why am I regretting this already?
Obviously I am insane though, I like "Threshold" and "Spock's Brain"
Threshold is also underrated. It looks better through the bottom of a pint of beer.
Don't drink anything I give you.
*Puts glass of root beer down*
Why would I taint the fabulous root beer your husband brought home for us?
"Spock's Brain" is underrated. Or looks better in retrospect. Or something.If you can make it permanent, you'll do well here. Welcome to the BBS.

Retrospect IMO.
It was just
When I first saw it.
Welcome, welcome, thrice welcome, Ashlynn (and yes, you too can come up with a werid name to hide behind later.
This isn't actually my name.
College is looking nicer and nicer everyday.
I lost my mind, that's my only excuse for Twilight.
Isn't Witches the one where her parents and best friend die in the beginning and she goes to live with her aunt and cousins?
My sister already warned me.
Politics aren't my thing anyways.
RE Discworld:
Enjoy!
ETA: Oh! BTW! If you think Twitlit is bad, do a search for "My Immortal". Possibly the worst (or cleverest) piece of fanfic ever. We've laughted over it a lot here. Just imagine it being read out in the voices of your enemies.
Nonononono! The three to read (by Terry Pratchett) are Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, and Lords and Ladies. These are followed by Masquerade and Carpe Jugulum, but if I was you I'd then read something else in the series, like Mort or Guards! Guards!
Enjoy!
