Good for you...I tried driving for a few months, I hated it.

Mum said I'm not allowed to get a driver's lisence yet anyway.

You'll have to work on your Nan to get her to relax the no downloading rules. There's so many great things out there to play - and a lot of them are free too.

If I download too much, the computer freezes.

According to PhD. Fordyce's interpretation of happiness studies (http://www.gethappy.net/v106.htm), one should diversify their happiness "profile," as the law of diminishing returns happens to anything after enough time and effort is put into it. Playing video games is ok I think, as it's a good way to socialize with guys, particularly certain groups. Just don't do it excessively. You're young, so playing a lot of games isn't terrible. I was obsessed with StarCraft at your age. I've outgrown the obsession part with it and other games. You could try some of the things suggested in the rest of that e-book.

Elaborate, or point me where in this thread it was mentioned if already discussed, if you don't mind.

Video games is apparently a good way to meet guys, but I can't actually go out and do that.

No...

You're gonna have to attract them to Murray Bridge somehow...

Good luck with that one - I'm sure you're very attractive but I doubt that the "town" will hold enough attraction to get guys to visit.
