my hands smell of garlic. yeech.

meh. in about two hours or so, my fudder dearest will be unplugging the computer and shoving it in some corner for tomorrow's Event. *sighs*
he's the one organizing and being all enthusiastic about tomorrow. i think to him, it's some nice project. i don't think he gets that the rest of us could /really/ do without it.

another topic that came up yesterday while we were talking was normalcy.

do you consider yourself normal? i suppose before answering that, we'll have to define what you consider normal. to me, normal is whatever the majority is, so if your the minority, you're NOT normal. does that make sense?
but then, bern also said that everybody is different and since everybody is different, then it would be normal to be different. and that too, makes sense.

so even within the majority, people are still different and hence, not normal. huh. but if their different, then what is it that binds them into becoming prt of the majority?

ah. conforming i suppose. by stifling and toning down your own personal eccentricities, one becomes more or less, similar to one another and therefor, normal.

but i don't want to be normal. unfortunately, i think i am.

philosophy. bah, humbug.

i've realized after much observation that those who usually have a good [read; higher than average] self-esteem fall deeper when they do get depressed. it's that and/or their confidence was simply a facade.
compared to those who don't really hold themselves in high esteem, they fall less when they do get depressed. their emotional plunge is less steep.

hmm.
