I wouldn't be surprised if you criticised the mechanics of the mechanics; they weren't good. And I of course tried to repair as much as I can. Sometimes you just have to admit it's a broken piece of trash

But it sets the mood for my later works. Obviously, these themes will inspire The Priceless, and other works later.

Yeah, thanks for showing me a different way of looking at it. I started to despise 1 culture kids when they assume everything works the same way they do, and sometimes their immaturity get to me. That of course, like Brotherly Love, led to the idea that I might be the 'special one', then later, realised I too, am stupid.

I just never thought culture shock was the foundation of my perception. views, and thus, writing. I thought it was my depression that gave me the power.

(Hey, maybe that's why you understand my stories!)

Well, I wrote this over 5 years ago, so it's quite a long time ago!

Ban it, because it makes me feel bad!

You can't criticiz the first steps of a baby and call them pathetic Well you can, but that would be stupid. Not that I'm assimilating you to a baby =P but you get the idea.

I do agree, sometimes there things get on my nerves. The biggest problem for me was isolation. I was so sad that no one! I mean no one! In my entire list of new friends (In America) Could understand what I had been through, they could not relate to me. It made me believe that we could not be friends, and I locked myself up a little shell which I never opened. The first time I started speaking in public again some people screamed with astonishment 0_o. Thankfully though I learned to get out of my comfort zone and open up. Although they can't understand me, I can understand them, so I learned to adapt to my surroundings, and I learned to "live" like they do.

You're not stupid! You just are different. Just like me. =D

I do believe that one of the main reasons why i do assimilate and understand your stories is, like you said, because I understand. We are very similar in a way.

If you don't mind me asking, why did it make you feel bad?

I have now put up Home Sweet Home. Expect some more horrible writing from when I was 15

That reminds me, I've yet to read any of this.

Once The Abomination of Men is up, however, I will be sure to read everything on here. I don't know why, but the story has always intrigued me.

But why has that particular story intrigued you? You've neither read it, knew anything about it, or been around when it was around, or have any legitimate reason to be interested in that crap ...

As for the language barrier, and the bad school experience, I can relate to that 100%. Not only did I not speak English, but I also did not speak the native language. My parents worked with both English speaking people, and native language speaking people; and most of the kids our age spoke English. We could not communicate with either sides. Needless to say, it took us a long time before we made any friends.

Our parents put in a school were the natives tried to learn English, I think they did this so that we could learn both languages at the same time. But it did not turn out well. We were bullied, sent to the principle, and all of that pleasant stuff. The bullies must have been ten years older than us, we could do nothing against them. It was really a horrible experience. Thankfully though, our parents pulled us out of there and sent us to the French school. But we still had not learned either languages.

As for the swear words, I've made such a fool of myself because of them. I didn't understand nor know which words were swear words. So i accidentally used some on myself Needless to say, I made some people laugh. Even today though, I still don't know that many English swear words, and I often have to ask my friends whether a certain word is a swear word or not.

I understand how you feel that the Bible let you down, but I personally don't think it did. Of course I have no proof of that, neither can I convince you of it. Personally though, I would probably have told you to ignore the idiots. Bullies are kids who are deeply hurt inside, and they feel the need to hide it by pounding on younger kids. Bullies are in fact the weak ones. Personally I fought them back, but I'm not sure whether that's Biblical or not =P

God gave me a great capacity to forgive, I can honestly say that I do not hold grudges against anyone. To be honest though, no one has truly hurt me to the core yet. But so far, I have been able to forgive and forget =)
