oh my, so much talking. i think that the fratboy thing is probably something that is certainly seperated from b&s. some people are good and some are bad, some want to be in frats and some don't. all groups will have assholes and nice people. it's the same thing over and over. there are definitely problems with the american public school system. and i find that in a great many places, not just school, there is little tolerance for people who have different ideas and tastes from the norm. i found that life got much better when i learned not to give a shit. mind you, it took awhile, and sometimes i relapse, but i find it very helpful overall. er, alright, that had nothing to do with anything. i'm sure i got negative miller points on that one. about a year or so ago there was an article in vanity fair written by a woman who had had a relationship with jd salinger when she was 17 and he was in his early 40s. it's an interesting article. i'm of the sort that enjoyed catcher in the rye, but i tend to think he's overrated as a cultural icon. but then, he's one of those people where people don't just like his books, they tend to LOVE his books, and they tend to fixate on them and forget to read other books. and they tend to annoy me until i want to beat them. on bomb threats, the other middle school in my town used to receive bomb threats all the time. you see, when a school receives a bomb threat, the state law makes it pretty much mandatory to not have school for the day, as everyone needs to get way far away and stay outside while it was thoroughly searched. it seems that these threats often coincided with test days. there were never any actual bombs found. my recent project has involved attempting to cultivate marketable skills. it's not working very well. xoxo megan mkl206@is8.nyu.edu who are magnetic fields? http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ updated 4/26/99 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
