Well you bumped my thread so I figured I would give an update on the advice I found.
I started going on a weightlifting workout with my teacher and friend, and although the quarter is over, I am going to join Gold's Gym and start focusing on lifting more during the summer.
I started running as well with a buddy and no longer feel out of breath after a 800 meter jog. Yeah, it was pretty sad that I would before, but I just feel a lot healthier.
Speaking of health, I have dropped over 15 pounds since the day this thread was posted. I gave up much of the fat and disgusting food I was previously eating, and have started to eat much healthier. I just feel a lot better from it.
I retaught myself everything about basketball, including my dribbling and shooting mechanics. I am looking forward to trying out for the Varisty Basketball Team next year at school, and make it or not - I am glad I took the time to try and relearn it.
I decided to try and be more open and outgoing with people around me and took it upon myself to ask the girl I have liked forever out. I doubt it will work but I'm glad a lot of my feelings are being brought out of me - Forever, it felt like I was a machine or something, with no emotions.
I decided to follow the advice that so many of you gave me in this thread, of playing old video games. I found my Nintendo 64 and I am still playing many of the games I have. My friend is actually going to sell me Paper Mario and Super Mario 64 for 10 bucks total, a great deal.
I have looked everywhere for music now. I was mostly into Rap/Hip-Hop with comedy like Flight of the Conchords and Weird Al thrown in. But as I began listening to legends like Jimi Hendrix or The Beatles, I found myself hooked in completely without realizing it. Suddenly, I was listening to obscure bands and a lot of the music I found here in NP or just when people are talking. And I love it. Music really is something I just love right now.
Although it wasn't "exactly" the same as what Colin suggested, I did watch an entire season of a show, and have now found myself watching every episode. The West Wing and Psych for those interested. I am now interested in actually watching Law and Order: Criminal Intent but it will take a while.
I want to thank everyone who posted in this thread and gave advice, it really helped and meant a lot to me. I just feel much more active and social with others, and really enjoy life right now. Thanks everyone!
