Yes, it is late (or early...whichever) We've been studying metaphysics...starting today. The concept of conventionalism is interesting. We're supposedly "bound by convention"...and I guess we are. But some people break it, and they do a pretty good job.

Sar, Apes, Scam and I were discussing the lecture. One of them said it was not possible to really break convention. My example of breaking convention was transplanting the hair on your head to the backs of your knees. Sar said that was gross. What we said was it wouldn't be gross if everyone else did it. True...no?

I was very, very grossed out today. In a certain class, a certain "John Doe" failed to pull up his pants high enough or something. Or maybe he had ill-fitting pants. Either or. Anyway, when he leaned over in his chair, I saw a little too much. There was also another, who shall remain nameless, who used to have the same problem. She was in my spanish class last year, and the entire class was aware of this problem. It was disgusting.

We had our metaphysics lecture later on in the day. I realized that this indecent exposure could be a way of rebelling. Maybe these two were really pioneers in breaking the chains of convention. Or maybe they just need better pants.

I think I overdosed on high school Xangas. I clicked through one of my old high school's rings and holy crap, there was a scary avalanche of journals belonging to those born in the mid-to-late 80's and even a few born in 1990 (!). For the most part, if the layout didn't give me a headache, the tYpIn' aN' sPeLlIn' sHoRe DiD!!!11 Not all of them were bad, but there were enough bad ones to make my head spin. I was planning on going off on a rant about them, but realized that I too had a weblog in high school (jumped on the bandwagon in the year 2000) and may end up a hypocrite for reaming these kids out for doing what I did when I was their age.

I have come to the conclusion that I was not too bad. A little strange (see above), yes, and by no means perfect (there are some entries that make me cringe) but I don't think that my high school self was really all that bad...I think...

Just let me think that. I've finally accepted my high school self and believe me it wasn't easy!
