h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi, I'm Exist, I'm an <./>ACE</.> and I've dropped by to officialy welcome you into the h2g2 community!

If you want to post a link in plain text, you need to but the web adress as it appears it the toolbar
If you decide to redo your page in GuideML and need any help figuring something out, I'm more than happy to help

I also just dropped by to say that your goth/townie tules are very true..

And...

If you feel like having a random opinional debate, try A802333
I tend to find that people on here aren't really all that hung up on age.. I'm 15, joined when I was 14 and I've settled in just fine

lol ill have a look in a lil bit.. im at the moment just takin taht advice that Pimm wrote about explaining the whole Goth vs townie thing, its takin me ages an i keep clicking back an loosin it all.

I think im just gonna keep the page just brin an blank.. that way i dont screw it up as easily. Thanks for the advice and the offer though thanks! <-- dont know if it will work but i tried

I hate it when that happens... Sometimes it's best to draft in in word or notepad before you put it up

If you're using the default skin, just press the little buttons under the textbox for smilies or check out <./>smiley</.> for the full listing

GuideML is actually really easy to sort out... Once you change the format, all you really need to to is put and around your paragraphs,

like this

And that's it! You can add in other stuff later

yeah... i still think ill just stick to bein borin, by the time you got his i just finshed the peice explaing the Goth Vs Townie...

Fantastic... I'll go and have a nose

What group do you see yourself as being...<?>

0O0o0o0o thats an awakard one, now if you ask any of my friends or anyone else that knows me they would be unable to give you an answer and i wouldnt either becuase im just not anything really, if im anything im a Goth...well mosher.. not as extreme, i think the thing being honestly i was a 'protectee' but i knew alot of 'townies' so i was a townie/protectee an over the past year or so ive just kind of been myself an done i want an not cared what other people thought and i just ended up as nothing really! its complicated really, you understand what im sort of on about? waht sterotpye are you or think you are?

So, I guess you're just a true non-conformist<?>

I know what you mean..

As far as stereotypes go with me.. Well... That's tricky. I get told I'm a punk, but err... I'm to glittery for that.. I guess I'm a New Romantic..Blast from the past and a half I tried to explain a little on my u-space In the picture in my journal I guess I look..err... punkish gothish.

lol its easy to say your 'alternitve' ( i cant spell it ive not got it on copy no more) but then its hard to deicde waht you exactly are.. but at least you know waht the bleedin hell you are!

Does anyone know what they are, really<?> Does the protection of a word for a group really mean that much<?> There isn't really a group that fits what I am I don't think it matters

hmm it doesnt matter that much actully but waht i have noticed which,
you have your friends which in general are your 'type' (with the exception of ours coz' we have everything in our group - sound the same with you and yuor circle of friends) but your friends influence you.. how does that figure?

Friends... what a luxury..

Where I come from most people are townies (chaffs as we call them) and what with me being generally erm... amazing.. most people wouldn't want to me seen dead with me. And frankly, if that's the way that they feel, I don't really want to be seen with them. I do notice my influence on the few people who are friends (now one and counting....) and nobody really stays very 'normal' around me for long

I think in general (through observation mainly ) people like to have a form of group identity, something that makes their friendship group sort of different from the other friendship groups... Things like clothes and music can often be a simple way of meeting someone who you are likely to like. I think as a rule, most people prefer familiar, non-threatening things to anything unusual and different.

Your friends influence you, I guess, because you care about them and you share interests with them... they have an idea and you agree, you have an idea and they agree... There's always someting in common, and if one of your friends brings something new into the group, you're likely to want to find out about it

Do you know what I mean<?>

yeah i do... so your saying that as you get something new introduced to you you loose something else? coz thats kinda like me social life and my modem...

You always remember that something else, but yeah, I guess the something new in a way replaces that...

I know the feeling with the modem

lol, serioulsy its frightening.

What makes me laugh is that people always want to be in the
'In crowd' when in my opinion id prefer to be classed as the rejects than be one of them, wha you thin?

The 'in crowd' always seems to be so superficial... I mean, why would I want to hang round with a load of people who don't care about me, but about their appearance<?> I'm a lot happier being a 'reject' myself

lol tahts sites kool, made me laugh,

lol i get ya about the fakeness of it all, where you from? england i ASSUME coz you get the whole townie Vs Goth thingy..jsut asking..

I'm from England

I wonder how many other countries have the same kind of youth cults as we do... *ponders*

*rubs chin*...hmm...i think it comes down to the area and the social aceptence of certain things, such as, in our culture/socity smoking and women walking in the street are perfectly normal for us, where as in other areas they may find it offending.

I think the same goes for the youth culture around the world, what i do know is that when us english watch a US 'teen flick' it shows the groups that are differednt and do not talk to each other or cant look each other in the face, and we think this is just a streotype as the americans do with our acents but, in fact it isnt they do have a social structure that is very delicate whereas ours has a few exceptions.

but saying that the 'intensity' of the effects of the major 'groups' range from area to area...my heads hurtin bad, im getting some morphene..thats my thinking for today.
