I speak English and French fluently and some German (I am functional). I would like to improve my German. Perhaps learn Italian or Spanish.
Thanks for your question!

Making Duct Tape Wallets (and tote bags, and other things....) :3
I also can sing Operatically.
I can sew really well too....
And I cook a badass turkey feast every Christmas and Thanksgiving! (I am better at cooking big meals than small meals)
I can swim 24 laps in 12 minutes (( used to be faster, but whatever.....thats still 30 seconds a lap)
I am really good at repeating what I hear. So repeating accents, imitating, or pronouncing foreign words or names correctly.
I guess I have a few....

How are you today?
Awful. Let me PM you.... I need someone to talk to....
I see you're from Ontario too! What university do you go to? (You can pm me if you don't wanna say here)
Do you like it there?
Also, are you in grad school? What is it like? How big is the jump from undergrad?
I like learning and school and writing and whatnot but sometimes I wonder if there is more out there :\
I dunno.
Hope your day is going well.

I go to the University of Windsor
"Thinking Forward, Moving Backward" LOL. I study History & Psychology there. I have been there since 2008, and expected to do my Psychology Thesis in 2017 at Windsor in Applied Social. I do like it there VERY much, yes. I intend to do my Masters there at least. Maybe my PhD. We will see. I am not in Grad School YET, but I will be. A lot of my friends are. My common-law boyfriend got his acceptance today actually to the History Grad Program at Windsor, and I have a few friends in that program too.
It really depends on the faculty. In the FASS, there is a LOT of reading, and you are guaranteed 3 GA-ships (at least in History) which is great because it pays like $2000/month! I befriended on of my old GAs and her and I meet for coffee every other Friday and sometimes on weekends and she is doing her PhD in Neuropsychology. She is doing her Dissertation right now so she has to worry about getting approvals and Research Assistants, and grants, and defending her dissertation, etc..... its a LOT of work..... History with Honours doesn't require an undergraduate thesis. Psychology with Honours does (what I am doing). So in a way it better prepares you for Grad School. I have experience as a TA, a TA-Grader specifically, and I have lectured, so I could jump into a GAship no problem.

No one listens to meNot too much, no
Hopefully you're doing well,seeing other people happy makes me happy too.
But can you please give me advice for this friend group of 12 year olds that are falling apart?
My group situation is there is this inappropriate girl who reads unnecessary things and a lesbian girl who has a crush on that girl,and a gay boy,and me.They currently send sex videos to each other in a group chat on skype (which I left) and my family told me to break off limits with them.I did but I feel upset since I took a hit for the lesbian in a incident that happened a couple of months ago,where a boy called her a female dog,and I got mad and kicked his butt.And afterwards she was kind and polite to me for 1 monthish and she went over to the lesbian.They look at nude people and they sing Vocaloid when P.E is over as well as gossip and giggle about their ''senpais'' to each other.I am not in the position to judge them,but I am okay with the gay person,although I know he's busy,I am kinda ignoring him 50% since he is really thirsty and the other 50% because he's part of the cult.I do feel bad and I don't know what to do with them at this point.Lots of people hate the lesbian and disturbing woman.
The lesbian is kinda sensitive since she was going to be a ASB officer but got voted out,and the gay guy is a ASB officer.
I hope I don't offend you or anyone for using the terms.

Needless to say, I will admit my ignorance when it comes to terminology. I know what a female dog is. But I don't think beating someone up over it is appropriate. Maybe.... calling someone.... the sound a hockey puck makes when it hits a swimming pool... but not a female dog.
I don't know what Vocaloid is or what Senpais are, I don't know what you were alluding to by "busy" or "thirsty", and I don't know what an ASB officer is....
What I DID get out of that is a LOT of drama. And gossip. And 12 year olds doing/involving themselves in mature things that they shouldn't be meddling with. Like nudity and sex. Its just inappropriate.
And I think you're family is right - this isn't the crowd for you. Its just a lot of gossip and drama and you don't need that. Regardless if I didn't understand the vocab.
I am not homophobic or against gays or lesbians, I enjoy going to gay clubs and bars actually than regular bars/clubs (I was really bummed out wen my favourite one closed down when the owner left). But I am against pre-teen experimental sex. Making choices at tender ages when their temporal and frontal lobes aren't quite developed and they make choices they regret later on. I didn't lose my virginity till I was 18, and I have only had one sexual partner (the person I am currently with). He lost his virginity to me too, and it was special for us to share that. And rare too, for 18/19 year olds to be virgins, granted we had boyfriends/girlfriends previously we just didn't sleep with them because we "didn't feel we were ready/mature enough". Not rare for some; his mom was 16 when she had is brother for instance.... it happens. People sleep around at young ages. Make mistakes. Start smoking. Start drinking. Do Drugs. Etc, etc....
Point is, you can't change other people. If you want my advice on this situation, I would stay out of it. Leave the drama and gossip alone. You don't need it. And its not your job to come to their aid to resolve their issues and bring them together.

I hear where you are coming from, I was just trying to be the least bit optimistic. Trying ever so hard.... and failing.
I haven't seen PMMM.
Sorry. I guess I'm too pessimistic.. >.<
I'm stuck between two extremes: caring about other people and not caring about myself/being all suicidal/feelings of worthlessness OR loving myself and hating the world. It's a hard struggle and I can't seem to make a compromise... I'm always mad at someone... :/
You should. It's really deep and meaningful. I cried during the last episode. It stands for "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" btw.
