Naamah D. Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 The cheerleader's outfits at my school are absolutley ridiculous. The skirts are too short even for the regular dress code! Quote
Spritzie Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Football games are actually why I didn't join any of the school bands. If you were in any band, even jazz band, you had to march at EVERY football game. I was having none of that. Quote
rachiee Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I've never gone to a school football game (or any other school team's games/matches/meets, for that matter) and I don't plan on starting to go...unless, of course, it was mandatory. If the pep rally I talked about in my last post does happen to be mandatory, I think I'll try and find a way not to go, sneak out or try and spend as little time there as possible. (Since I believe it's being held during school hours [which is kinda weird] those options most likely wouldn't work out very well xP) Quote
Spritzie Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I went to some of the varsity softball games in HS because my friend was on the team. But no football. Or anything else. Quote

Tedhaun Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Finally only 9 more days till' my B-day.I'm so excited that i'm finally gonna be teenager and being in the 8th grade,even thought that i like being a kid.Middle school for was okay because there were some good times...And there were some bad times.But it doesn't matter i always focus on present and future,never the past ^_^ Turning 13 Wistiria? Congrats on that endeavor! You can get Neoboard Access (though I don't recommend it except for dire emegencies), and set up an awesome avatar as well as add Neofriends! Quote
rachiee Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 The Neoboards aren't that scary, there are just a considerable number of pretentious elitists, trolls and n00bs. For some reason, I can't help but hang around and chat on the Newbies board. I also like going to the Help Chat. Those two boards are really the only ones I frequent regularly. Anyway, happy early 13th birthday, Wistiria! :D Quote
-Ryan Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Depends on where you go on the neoboards. Ever tried Virtupets chat during the AC off-season? :) Quote
Naamah D. Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I had a dream about a past celebrity crush. I didn't really like him for awhile but now I'm crazy for him! :* Quote
Vocaloid Marshmallow Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Happy Birthday in advance Wistiria! Have a great day! Quote
Manta Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Hey guys! I'm back from vacation :D *poofs in* Went shopping today with my family and got an awesome pair of "barefoot" shoes. They're kinda like the Five-Finger shoes, if you guys have seen them These are mine: http://www.merrell.com/US/en-US/Product.mvc.aspx/22877W/50398/Black/J35706?dimensions=0 http://img.wolverineworldwide.com/is/image/WolverineWorldWide/MRL-W35706-051810?op_usm=0.5,1&wid=500&hei=520&qlt=70&fmt=jpg&extend=0,0,0,20 Quote
Spritzie Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Welcome back Manta! :D A co-worker of my husband's used to wear those to work. Quote
Yuika Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 'Kay so the topic has moved on, but WHAT? There are people who enjoyed middle school? I thought most people loved high school and hated middle school. I know I did, though I didn't like high school much better. But seriously, in middle school everyone is so immature and insecure; I'm pretty sure everyone was bullied at least a little bit, lol. Definitely the most awkward years of my life, and my emo phase (and awful taste in everything xD) did not help. Neither did the "teams" that the schools where I live separated us into, since the ~gifted~ kids were like...segregated. Spending all of my time with the same 20 obnoxious cliquey children was unpleasant. At least in high school the cattiness was behind each others' backs. College is, by far, the best part of school IMO. Neoboards are full of...Neopets hipsters? I don't even know. There are some weird people on there. And, of course, the 8 year olds who actually belong on the site haha. Also I've seen a lot of "barefoot" shoes lately. I thought about buying some for running but then I thought it must hurt a bit if you step on something. o.O Quote
rachiee Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Neoboards are full of...Neopets hipsters? Go to the Newbies board and you'll see tons of generic Neopets hipsters :P Oh yeah, and welcome back from vacation, Manta! Those are some pretty cool shoes o: Quote
Yuika Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Go to the Newbies board and you'll see tons of generic Neopets hipsters :P Yeah lol that's what I was saying. The question mark was just...uncertainty as to why they exist, etc. Quote
Manta Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Thanks guys!! :D *throws chocolate mousse pie at everyone* The barefoot shoes are actually surprisingly comfortable, and help condition your feet, as well as improve your posture and walking/running forms I was not surprised to learn that most modern footwear is terrible for your feet. The guy at the shoe store used this anecdote - if you're at a wedding dinner, and you lift up the tablecloth, almost everyone has their shoes off! :laughingsmiley: I've been a fan of Merrell shoes for years now though, since in general their focus is on comfortable, ergonomic footwear Quote
xSummer Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 oh my i hated all school except for college. middle school i was going through medical stuff and highschool was awful because i knew what i wanted to do in life. Quote
rachiee Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Dressy(-ish) shoes ALWAYS tend to hurt my feet. Just standing around in heels at a party for a few hours (occasionally sitting down or taking walks to the bathroom or something) can hurt my feet. D: It's even worse when you gotta go to another party after that and dance until your legs turn to jello...and you have to swap shoes with your mom. (True story. I did have a lot of fun at that second party though, despite my feet hurting. xD) I like wearing flip-flops whenever possible. I even break 'em out in the wintertime if temperatures aren't freezing. :P Quote
xSummer Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 i have no idea what topic we are on but i only wear wedges or heels with a thick heel, toms, and flip flops. Winter you never see me out of my toms Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Welcome back, Manta! *grabs chocolate mousse pie & places in fridge with chocolate mousse pie made by Syrin's neighbor* I love those barefoot shoes! I've been wearing slippers around the house again to avoid tracking mud & things around from my regular shoes but I really want to try these barefoot shoes now, in the house & outside of it Question though, I pretty much completely lack arches on my feet (I've been flat-footed since I was little) so does that affect my ability to wear the shoe comfortably or does it just mean I need to go up a size? Quote
Piticent Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Well, I have flat feet too, and I dont think so. The only reason Im up a size is b/c my right foot is way bigger than my left :P I think, (to my knowledge,) it doesnt make a difference with comfort or size for a while. If you ignore it completely and end up with medical complications, then yes, it does affect your ability to wear comfortably :) Quote
Manta Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I believe that as you wear the shoes, it will help adjust your feet to a more natural position, though it can take a few months of regular wear to get your feet accustomed. (They feel weird at first) I was told to wear them for only an hour a day for the first week, to get used to them. My arches are pretty high, so I'm hoping this will help my feet even out a bit. Also, the shoes are supposed to fit loosely, not tightly. Apparently, your feet expand as you run, and it's important to give them room to breathe. Although i have a feeling I'm going to be sore for the next few days anyway because I started an exercise regimen of my own design in an attempt to get stronger. :laughingsmiley: Quote
Vocaloid Marshmallow Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Yeah, I guess your shoes are made in such a way that you don't feel much discomfort, Piticent. I've never had any problems with the shoes I wear. Quote
