Playing modified games

I do play tag, but my friends and I play tag weird. Instead of just the normal “Ok, you’ve got to tag me” we play like “No, you’ve got to find me, drag me back to a spot, and get me to stay there”, which is fun.

Factoring CP into friendships

I’m kind of had to factor my CP into all my friendships. I’m like ok, is this person going to accept that I’m probably going to have to be in the hospital? I’m probably going to have to wear braces and stuff like that. I also have to factor it into what I’m going to eat in a fancy restaurant. If my parents aren’t there, I don’t want to ask for help cutting things. I really just don’t. So I probably will just order a burger when I’m out with my friends all the time because I really don’t want to order a steak because I really don’t want to ask them to cut it.
