These are the reasons I'm afraid to RP, the worry about being "that guy"...
i used to RP A lot on facebook but now i feel rusty and at the same time this really isn't my domain
meaning i'll probably just ruin the "flow" for everyone else
in all honesty the way things work here is totally different compared to how it is on facebook and i don't mean the rules

That guy in the police helicopter. No matter where the video is from the voice is always the same. And he says "UNBELIEVABLE" waaaaay too much and about almost everything. No matter how minor the incident.

SUSPECT IS GOING FIVE MILES AN HOUR UNBELIEVABLE!

People asking me what college I will choose all the time. I don't KNOW yet I just started high school. I don't even know what colleges even exist.

Manual transmission elitists. Look, I admit it, I can't drive a manual gearbox. It's not because I'm lazy or stupid, it's because I live in the 21th century. The manual gearbox is outdated technology, period. Sure, up until about a decade ago automatic transmission was largely a luxury feature and manual was still better to get the most out of fuel economy and speed, but that was with the technology of yesteryear. Today modern cars have advanced on-board computer systems that are programmed to get the most out of the engine transmission. Today a manual gearbox is little more than a toy for hardcore car enthusiasts, there's really no longer any practically reason to use it.

It's one thing to personally prefer manual transmission because you feel it's more fun and engaging to drive, it's another to be an elitist about it and say "If you can't drive a stick shift, then you can't drive." As far as I'm concerned, that's the equivalent of a gun enthusiast saying "If you can't shoot a 16th-centure musket, then you can't shoot." Technology changes and advances, it's called living in a modern society. Me? I'm a tech enthusiast. I like to embrace technological evolution rather than fight against it.

Hey now. A manual transmission has it's advantages.. But I perfectly understand why the elitists get annoying. Though I will always say manual transmission is superior  there's nothing wrong with driving an automatic. Sure everyone should know how to drive manual, but it's not necessary these days.

Oh, what a night

People who are insistent on holding a grudge against you.

I had... A bit of a quarrel with a friend a couple years ago, said some things I shouldn't have. But I apologized for it. Come 4 years later, after coming back to the school I used to (changed middle schools and came back to my regular high school.) they still hold a grudge. Come on! I apologized, it's not that big of a deal any more. Meh, whatever.  :s

It was some minor thing. Something no one really cares about, they were over reacting really. But that's just me.

Realizing just how busy you're gonna be with school/work for the next two-three weeks, which wouldn't be so bad until one ALSO realizes that it's going to push back your gaming interests...stupid coincidence timing for Majora's Mask release... :s

Yeah. I've been completely swamped with work these past 3 weeks. Been pretty busy with it all.

Well If you don't care about it don't assume other's don't as well. They might care more than you think. Just a thought anyway.

Also, side note to the previous conversion, i love driving manual. My next vehicle will most certainly be manual.  Winter driving with an automatic SUCKS.

Yeah. I get what you're saying. Let's just move on. I've already said my piece about it.

I counted it up, and I've confirmed that over the course of a few YEARS, it took me 103 attempts to beat a certain boss.
That annoys me.

If you like to drive a manual out of personal preference then more power to you. It's your car drive, what you want. What prompted me to make that post was the fact that I've become quit interested in the 2015 Mustang v6 (v8 is out of my price range) yet every time I try to discuss it on Youtube and the like I get the brush off the instant I mention the automatic option.  Many go so far as to say driving an automatic Mustang is for "beta males" and "posers"....posing as what exactly? I never claimed to be a part of anything, I just want to drive the car I like.

Driving a manual might be fun on the open road, but try driving one in a metropolis like Dallas-Fort Worth. Shifting gears in heavy stop-and-go traffic is a nightmare. One that I'd very much prefer to avoid. I don't partake in motorsports of any kind so for me my car is a mode of transport, nothing more, nothing less. I just want it to get me from point A to point B with as little headache as possible.
