everyone falls in to the trap of sounding dogmatic and self-righteous and know it all. it's the curse and gift of being young and feeling the wonder of being alive and learning all sorts of things you never knew before. i try to avoid it by truly listening, but i know i am being annoyingly know it all right now. ah, well, that's life.
i don't mind sounding naive because who can help not knowing? i often feel i sound ignorant, which scares me because the ignorant never seek to learn what they do not know. i never hesitate to ask a question, but i think there is something to be said about not acting like a total fool. youth is wonderful! - but must we perpetuate the myth of the young and stupid? the feeling of omniscience gets pounded out of us by the years, why not exploit it a little now? but i think you are saying that in a way. and how i do run on.
alright, post script answers:
i'm doing fine. got a good job in the astronomy department over the summer. taking a lot of fine arts classes in the fall and still living in the lofts. your two cents do matter and i'm flattered that you actually commented (and you read my journal!). tell me your story, too, because i always found you to be most interesting and mysterious.
