Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them. That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

Hey these kind of feelings aren't something you can force yourself to feel. Not everyone has to go wild dating during high school.

[dejerate]

Yeah but try telling everyone else that. Most are dating and all.

[devilsadvocato]

At your age a lot of people think that dating is something they're obliged to do. Once they're a little older most of them will realize they don't have to if they don't want to. You're on the cusp of adulthood and being an adult means you get to make your own decisions about your life. You simply chose to take control of your life and go down a different route. You can always date later. Try telling that to them next time.

Like they'd listen. I guess I'm just more used to not worrying about relationships after moving so much,
figuring it wasn't any point if it wasn't likely to last long before we moved again. It's everyone else that seems to think it's weird I don't care.

You won't be able to convince everyone to lay off the subject but your friends should be sensitive enough to your feelings to give you a break. You have more than enough logical reasons to give for your decision.

Well, yeah. Always going to be some stubborn assholes. But still. It gets kinda old. Especially if I go through this every time around February now.
