And you're pretty fucking awesome, to be honest.
I don't think I've been myself recently, though. Dyeing my hair stupid colours isn't me. I blame not being able to fit into most of my clothes.

I can see why other kids weren't fussed on me,
I liked adults better, I liked Patsy Cline, I'd go up to kids and go "Hello, I'm Roota, do you want to play?" and generally get the "Oh fuck off you twee little dickhead" response. Or the "Yes we'll play with you and lock you in a cupboard, that'll get rid of your beans for you!" response.
And I do rabbit on...

I had an awful time of Primary school and the first bit of secondary.
Theo straightened me out a bit for a while and then I went nuts over the last years of school in general. But I found that people seemed to like me more the older I get. I dunno whether they just started to appreciate me or I grew up, but I really didn't change that much.

I could never play with other kids, I'm shit at making new friends :/

Secondary school only really had the threat of violence
Whereas in primary school I got battered. I could have taken the verbals a lot better (names really don't hurt me) if I didn't think there might be a pasting at the end of them.
And as for getting older and finding people like you more, well there are loads of reasons. Your confidence, your broadening horizons/social group etc. You simply have more choice and so does everyone else. You suddenly meet more people whose 'cup of tea' you are.
