Subject: your latest journal entry From: David O. Corsi (dcorsi@wwa.com) Date: Mon, 9 Jun 1997 12:02:19 -0500 just a thought about the private high school graduation... who are we to judge what is normal and fun? i guess i do it all the time, "oh that is stuck up, so controlled etc." but i have to step back and say, maybe not for them. maybe all those kids getting on that bus really were going to have a good time, and if so why not be happy that none of them will come home dangerously drunk or having used drugs. the ceremony you talked about sounded lame except you said the sappy songs were written by the students. that isn't pretentious that is creative, even if the product wasn't great. congrats to them. furthermore thanking God shouldn't be ridiculed just because that wouldn't be high on our list (i am no bible-thumper), because most of the world would beg to differ with us. so many times in life i know others have judged my actions or the actions of my class, generation, friends whatever as being "strange" or abnormal. happens all the time, happens to all of us. the last thing i want to do is start ridiculing others for being different, and not seeing the "perfection" of the way i did it. i have followed your journal for 7-8 months now and i really believe your astute in all your entries and it is fun to get to know people you have never met half a world away... don't feel i am getting down on your observations, just that when you look at something someone wrote half a world away, your perspective may be leagues different. thanks for the journals, one of the more interesting things i have ever found on the net...
Subject: eh?
Will they be happy? Who cares, as long as they're successful? As long as they die having had their name on a ballot, building or scholarship...Now...they can't _all_ be that shallow :) I used to be jaded like that about my high school... but that was back when I was a senior (gasp. 3 years already?). I guess now I've realized that there are a lot of people I didn't know or I didn't care to know...and that was pretty unfair of me. I must admit, however, that you always see the rejects first.
Subject: Lopsided hat
"All I was thinking at my graduation was, "Is this stupid hat going to blow off?"My high school grad was only 2 years ago, but that's something I remember as well. It was indoors, so there were no worries of wind, but still worries of having a lopsided hat. The thought of using bobby pins didn't occur to me until I got there and by that time it was too late. I had my friend Jonathan check my head/hat about a million times before it was finally my turn to go up and get my diploma. He was cool with it though, what a sweetie! I pretty much missed out on any real hardcore post-grad partying though. I went to one party hosted at a semi-friend's house. Her parents were there the whole time, but 99% of us were the real squarish types, so that was cool by us. We just sat around listening to 80's music and signing yearbooks... Damn I can't believe that was already 2 years ago! Time flies, sometimes whether or not you're having fun.
