Yeah, I have a laptop. Have had it since this summer, in july. Like all fun things in life that I started to enjoy and find meaning in for being happy, it attracted my fathers attention, and he naturally destroyed that meaning for fun. Took it away already. What a douche. This sh*t from that douche has been going on since 2007, he just doesnt want me to have fun. Seriously, every time something I start to do is great and I enjoy it alot, he ends it.
-2007, I played halo online. Was the best thing I ever did. He stopped it on account of swearing, as he was like stalking me. I mean, "leave me the hell alone, let me play in peace, quit staring over my shoulder." And what can you expect, halo is famously a high CONTENT game.
-2008, yeah, not much really. Just my trusty old gameboy, the family computer. He kept using my dependancy on a computer not mine to control me and my actions, not allowing me to play on it lots of time during the year whenever he could please. Gameboy is indestructable though. Small and easy to hide. Never gounna lose it.
-2009, got my own laptop in july. Was going to save up money through the summer to buy, but I made a bet with him, and won, (the fag, tats rite, I BEAT you). So I got my own laptop. It has wireless, so , since 2007, when he has always hidden the internet connection cord so I cant get online, I now could do it without him stopping me. I also discovered a new great game since halo now. AOM,. I have had it many years, but this was the year I got on HG and started designing. I loved it, and hope to still enjoy it. Naturally, like all happy things, it attracted destruction. Laptop is now currently MIA.
=So guys, discuss, give possible solutions how to get MY damn laptop back, comment on how much of an ******* that "father" is (flame him, I dont mind, I hate him too, have for years), and make me feel better. I have to go down to the library computers to get online, but I manage. All I really cant do is work with my files and play aom.
But I have learned that I can use my flash drive at the library computers, so I can work with my computer files on it. My most recent update to my flash drive was pretty close to before I lost my laptop. So now I think I can do anything with my files except aom. So I can work with triggers again. Just cant test them. My flash drive is pretty awesome. It has all my files. Programs I downloaded, self made files, all my work.
Cool, so Nomadican on the flash drive is up to date! Now all you have to do is get a friend to let you download aom on their computer and you can play their until you get your laptop back, and if it ever gets taken again. If you snuck into your dad's work and stole your laptop back, instead of just downloading files off of it onto a flash drive, he'd probably just get angrier and take it back again. As far as extracurricular activities go, I've always had fun with cross country and track, even though I was a terrible runner at first (usually got close to last, but was good enough to run varsity by the time I was done with high school).
No, Im not sure if its even at his work, just very certain. No, I dont know if nomadican is even up to date, might not be. No, if I found it, I would get it back and hide it better. Yes, if my friend lets me, I will try to work on it. Wait, your out of high school? How old are you. Im 16\
Well , I mean, I did do soccer in junior high, but now all there is there is high school team, but thats not the community YMCA soccer i did. NOthing much really interests me. I mean, anyway, I was learning great designing and coding skills by playing aom, and having lots of fun with it. So he should eff off. Cause he seriously was like telling my brother, "you will be successful if you are in sports, you need to do sports, sports blah blah blah, you have to live on sports, that crap." what a damn hypocrite, he isnt a proffesional footbal player or anything like that.
"You double check again, getting more nervous by the second. The shadow has moved, but i'll let you know that was not my shadow. Mine is much more hidden. You look around, scared, hearing noises. They are slow. Small. They stalk you, much like I. You look for the source of the noise and see nothing... then you look down." TBC
As a swimmer I would not advise you to take up the sport. Although it is great exercise and is lots of fun (if you are good) its a tad too late to start. For the hours it requires, swimming is rather unrewarding, I go roughly 22 hours a week
My experience with track has been rather good, it is demanding if you want, but it is also pretty leniant due to the large participation.
I would recommend picking up an instrument, regardless of how you end up using it it can actually be fun, just avoid boring stuff and have fun with it.

Lol that last part is crap, sports (unless you are very good) will never give you a career. Admittedly they do help for college, but there are a bunch of other things that are just as impressive as an average athelete
- swimming, I cant imagine the horrors. He forces my little sister and brothers to do swimming, to me, its quite dull. WOuldnt like it. And would take too much time, defeating the purpose of having my computer, where I want to be able to spend my time on it.
- track, stuff like that. Well, im not sure, track meets and such, I would basically lose my weekends and afternnoons having to do it. The bet I won my laptop in was that for some race on a parade day, if I finished it (3 miles) in under 24 minutes, I get a laptop. I can really do well if an initiative exists. But I hate running, I got so tired.
- Instrument, well my friend is in band at school and says its a lot of fun. If my dad saw it as a extracurricular activity, and I got the schedual changed for it, then I would be up to it, not much of my time to take.
Cause I have alot of classes I want to take, and wont let go of. Woodworking is a must for me, I really like the class, and Welding and Foods are classes I like alot too. I have psycology this year, and its fun. Doing AP psych next year probably. Almost did flash programming this year, might next. Band is a year class, so I might not have the schedual for it, but I would fit it in if I could. And band is a class at school, so he might not see it fit to be extracurricular. But of course there are school events where the band plays, and I would be taking up the use of an instrument, so maybe.
I might think about a youth group, if its not gay, and actually fun, and doesnt tkae much of my personal time.
Yeah, the stuff he says is such BS, makes no damn sense. Its like "eff you I dont see you following your advice, so let me do what I am good at."
I mean, he may not exactly understand that there are large areas of careers involving COMPUTER SKILLS and I am quite good at learning that stuff, so he is in fact destroying my chances for a good career I would probably be successful at, so **** HIM
edit: oh, so this forumn does censor swearing

I disliked running when I first started and got tired easily, but by the end of high school I could handle 9 mile runs several times a week easy!
Sports help you stay in shape, make new friends, and have fun! Although if sports isn't your thing (I recommend giving it a shot though) you can get into music like Jack suggested. My brother plays the trumpet in band and orchestra and is really good, music would definitely be worth getting in to! A youth group would be a good idea as well, you could make a lot of new friends. You could also join robotics club and use your programming skills for that.
I've also found Boy Scouts very rewarding, I met most of my best friends through scouts.
I know, I have the perfect solution, you tell Thymole your dad's e-mail and Thymole starts sending him stalking messages and telling him the only way to get out is to give Winston his laptop back.
He's right Charlie, anyone can ignore messages. We need to send a message. I'll bring the bomb, you bring the snacks. We'll rig up his car nice and good.
I've got some explosion soft drink ready to go. We could kill two birds with one soft drink as the saying goes.
No, I think if the explosion gets high enough to kill birds we might hit Winston in the collateral damage, lets keep it to a few grams of C4 and a couple of Oreos.
Maybe if we pretended to kill Winston his dad would think there was no reason to hide it and Winston could sneak in and steal the laptop. I think my ideas are running out...
We could call FBI and tell them we planted a dozen bombs in the town where winston lives, therefor the citiziens must all evacuate and in the confusion winston can look for his laptop without his father knowing
Hey guys, there may be good news on the laptop situation now. As we know, he is MIA, presumably KIA. But my winter break has just started. So on monday, or during the week, I shall go to that, 'father's work while he is gon on his lunch break, and see if the laptop is there. If so, many good things shall occur.
Ok, well I have found my partner. I will go into the future in my super awesome time machine and get my dead body (which Winston has killed because I brought food he doesn't like) then I will come back with my dead body and use it as a distraction when fighting you so my team:
Yes, but you have to sleep, whereas my dead body does not. And while you sleep, I will strike with full fury. And you won't know what hit you (actually you probably will because you know I only have a dead body to hit you with)

Boy, two years ago when I played halo, I honestly was so into it I barely slept. I would wake up at 3 in the morning, and go to bed at like 9 oclock at night. Many nights, I had only 4 hours of sleep. So I doubt you would be able to catch me unawares.
Ok, heres the plan. I get angry winston and robot winston, BUT when angry winston starts to scream at 3pm we'll team kill him to match up with charlie's arsenal. Let's just hope there's no respawn...
