I think that I'm really good at having fun. It's definitely a skill and I have it. I think this started in the second year of high school-- after the first year when I'd been falling to pieces over my grades-- and I suddenly realized that I didn't really care what achievements I had to wave in other people's faces, that school wasn't any good and

I think there's a bit of a problem with being vague about the word "fun" in this post.

Doing what you enjoy and are interested is good, but from what I know of the 80s and most people, their idea of fun was often to go out partying and drinking and they valued not thinking.
And (at least the people today) do all this "fun" stuff to get away from normal life and work.

I'm not quite sure what the main point of the post is tho. So not quite sure what to argue.

I'm also not sure of the "I'll have fun and to hell if you don't like it". If it's not someone you're friends with, sure. But seems like could lead to bad attitudes if someone is honestly trying to persuade you something isn't a good idea.

Just stuff I noticed.

Going out partying and drinking can still involve thinking, even if it's on a social skills level. :\ Even choosing what to wear and how to do your hair and make up can involve careful aesthetic choices. Also, RE: the 80s, check that song out. That is an awesome song. Even if what you choose is to not think about stuff, you're doing it for the right reasons, dang. Better than thinking and being intellectual because of authoritarian pressure to do so.

Well obviously I don't want my fun to end up hurting me. In addition to the above, I am open to suggestions. But when it comes to Commies, boo yah.

I think the point was about freedom, it wasn't like an anti-criticism thing. Seems pretty clear from the context. D:

lol btw, I love how this thing starts out in your eloquent, English style and turns gradually into an inarticulate American stereotype. :P

[rihatsu62]

Hahah. I think both styles are appropriate to what I'm trying to explain-eloquency because it uses more specific words (Remember that words have a meaning, Jim!) and inarticulate American because of the connotations. :3
