It's that I don't feel the need to try and 'fit in' in order to be accepted there. If I had a particularly bad day at school or just in general, the Cars board was where I could escape to.
If we all were the same age and went to a high school together, I bet we'd be able to have our own little posse together.

You know, you've just described exactly how I feel (dear god, I must change this freakin' font for September).
Yeah- that sounds about right- we'd probably be the friendliest posse ever too!

I'm a person who talks abnormally little. Being a high school freshman this year has been particularly tough so far since people assume that if I don't talk a lot, it must be that I'm retarded or mentally challenged (remember, THEY think). But I'm just not a socialist that much.
And a lot of people seem to take pity on me, and it's really hard to tell if they're being serious or not. It's mostly girls I've never known before in the freshman and sophomore year (and my friends in my year) who do this. They've never done anything to disprove their so-called "sympathy," but it never seems right in any way.

XD I was a freshman last year, so I know how you feel. I was going to a new school where I knew maybe two or three people, so I was real timid and shy. I think I finally became myself in October. Of course, unless I'm hyper, I don't talk much.
Weird... never had that.

You're a freshman this year Collin? Jeez, time flies.
I'd say the best part of the Cars Golden Ages were the discussions! Everyone had so much to contribute... it was pretty awesome to see the amount of stuff we came up with by just using our imaginations. We extended the world that Pixar created... and it was so much fun!

All these posts want to make me listen to R Kelly's "If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time" for some reason...

XD Now I'm thinking of that song from an old movie called "We're Back- A Dinosaur's Story" that's called something along the lines of "Roll Back the Clock".
Just for the record, how old is everyone now? I'm 15... I was only 13 years old when Cars came out, and I've grown up a lot...

We extended the world that Pixar created... and it was so much fun! Yeah, I'm a freshman. The first day was August 18th (Summer went by too quick this year!) and it was a 'Freshman Orientation Day,' so the freshman could sort of figure out kind of what to do before being thrown into it with everybody else. But, man! That day was long! The first Monday and Tuesday each felt like a week's worth of school But everything's all settled and fit together now. Well, except for homework. But then again, that's NEVER been able to be settled together. XD

Man, I didn't know how young LIAH66 was until I looked at her profile. I thought she was between 18 and 22 or something.
