vegetable rights?

isn't it funny how being completely abnormal is normal? i mean if no one's normal than why is normal considered normal? do we perhaps use what we were taught was normal when we were younger and what our parents were taught to consider normal to be normal- and in fact, since times are always changing and obviously people are always changing too- what was normal then isn't what's normal now which is why everything and everyone seems abnormal? am i making any sense? probably not, but maybe you know what i mean anyway.

It's funny, but It's always clear what you mean. You are visible in every posting that you do; it's like being there inside of you, feeling everything. Perhaps then, written words are more understandable than spoken; perhaps it's just that words are not distracting, they have no facial expressions trying to mask their truist inermost meaning. Words are words, I like words.
Or is it that you have an unequalled way of putting yourself on paper, possibly so, no one can hide themselves outside their words; we are always there, transparent to those who know how to see. It is good that I know how to look and you know how to write....it makes understanding you easy....I never look for myself in my words; I quiver fearful of what I may find. It remains preferable to bury one's head and to remain oblivious to ones own short fallings....is that Normal?

see, i think words are more clear written than spoken, but less meaningful. if you could actually hear what i'm thinking or hear me say it, it would have more meaning than if you are simply reading my words. there is tone in writing, but it's not as obvious as it is when you say something out loud. and facial expressions are like clues to the tone and to the heart of the person whose words are being read or said or whatever.

words are so easy to disguise. they are dishonest and masquarding and easily falsified and altered. it's only when you take something off a page that it becomes honest, or at least closer to being honest.

now, is that normal?

lol do we ever agree on anything?
I guess my problem is that I am just not good at listening to people....probably why I am a hermit that lives in a cave...

okay, i just posted a response TWICE and it got deleted or something and now i'm getting mad.

so for the LAST time, to paraphrase:

we agree on things.

i'm sure you're good at listening. but maybe you'd be better off if you redecorated your cave (you know, got rid of the bats and cobwebs and got a light).
