Today, I went to a suicide prevention walk with a girl I like. Before the walk, we bought balloons to set free when they called the names of the deceased. To buy a balloon, you had to write a name on a sheet. Apparently, you weren't supposed to write your own. They called my name. FML

Nobody should know that it was you except you and him, right? Mistakes happen.

Most people on this site who do things with the person they like usually deserve it for being dumbasses for showing off and shit. But you made a simple mistake while trying to do some good, so kudos to you

Looks like we solved the previous FML mystery of the college kid who had all his classes dropped.

Evidently they got blown away, literally. I think that one was a guy. OP is a "she".

So you had to write the name of a person that committed suicide? Strange! Am I understanding this correctly?

It's for remembering and dedicating it to their memory. Like roses for a grave, although we don't give their names to the florist.

Than you "increase" your social circle and possibly grey matter.

Don't worry, I was confused too. Usually for those things you write your own name (like when you're at Wal-Mart and you donate to whatever charity they're supporting). They should've specifically put "name of deceased" on the cards.

I think it probably did say something like "name of deceased" and op just was paying more attention to her crush

Opportunity to be grateful for the many things you will get to enjoy because your name wasn't on that balloon for the reason everyone else's was. =)

This is why you ask whose name you put down.

Buy and balloon to release when the names of the dead are read out, seems kinda obvious to put the name of the person you are releasing the balloon for but maybe that's just me.
