Homeschool Hair

"Chaos Theory is a new theory invented by scientists panicked by the thought that the public were beginning to understand the old ones." - Mike Barfield I'm in class right now. I can't sit in my usual seat between Erin and Neil because Oak Moser decided to actually show up for class and asked my entire row to scoot over before I got there. So I'm pretty much alone on the other side of the room. Film History and Theory has the potential for a lot of fun, but there are times when my time is better-spent blogging. I've been labeled as somewhat judgemental. I didn't really know how I came to be painted so until I finished my article (which comes out tomorrow!) and had to be censored. In reflection, I think I'm abou taas harsh with people as I am with films. Sometimes I do so superficially and distantly, which is unfair. So now I've resolved to give everyone at least ten seconds of personal interaction before I permanently label them. The first instance is the infamous Amazon Skirt Girl, also known as Baby Gap and That Whore. After referring to her as such, I was accosted by a mutual friend of ours. I had considered the options of why she takes mens' neckties and wears them as skirts: she has an unusually long torso, she wants to feel beautiful, etc. There's also her QPA factor. It's a 4.0. Still, I reserve judgement until I actually have a conversation with her. So, though I may call her Amazon, I hold nothing against her. In contrast, I met someone the other day in the Fine Arts building (a breeding ground for all sorts of fun). She was coming out of Acting and Directing talking to another friend of mine. Now, I could have condemned her for wearing a big sparkly blue shirt with sweatpants, socks with sandles, and extreme homechool hair. But no, I reserved judgement for when she planted a big wet kiss on Caitlin's cheek. Now she's been shunned, and I feel like a better-balanced human being. And the world can continue to go 'round.
