Summer... I dunno... so far it's been a couple of weeks of doing nothing mostly...

Upon recent events:

I miss school, but not for the reasons most people miss school. I miss school cause I liked the fact that I was able to go hang out with any random group of people that I have never met before and not have to worry about things like: who's going to be drunk, or trying to get drunk; who's going to be smoking, who's going to be dressed in drag; who's going to be swearing every 3 words in any conversation they have; how many sex scenes are in the movie that people are watching; or any other of a myriad of things...

I don't miss it because I had such an amazingly fantastic time that I never want it to end. I've lived a large portion of my life with little to no social interaction and it really doesn't bother me anymore. And given the choice between morons and nobody, I'd choose nobody everytime...

It bothers me to see people who used to be intelligent, and self-thinkers become wrapped up in "college life" and have lost whatever independent identity they once had...

Maybe I've just managed to hang on to maturity while everyone has slipped into "college." Or maybe I've just matured and everyone has stayed roughly the same.. I dunno.. and I'm not just saying this about back here in CT... There were plenty of people in UT that didn't seem to feel it was necessary to think for themselves... Which I guess is at least partially why 95% of the people I met assumed I was somewhere between 23 and 25 years old.

Maybe I just miss having the ability to have intellectual conversations with people and discuss things maturely.

Sigh... I dunno... maybe I just need to go to sleep.
