Welcome back!
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?Eliot

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not.
Why did I smoke for so long?
Oh my god Domer!!!! Welcome back!! Been a long time!

I think I'm allergic to the bushes out front. Yesterday I was all itchy in the afternoon but I had been walking all over so I figured I picked up something in the field. Today I was thinking I was doing good - nary an itch or a red mark until a bush poked me in the arm (or perhaps I walked too close to the bush and I got poked) and now both arms are red and itchy.

I need a hug......
Our teachers won't hug us anymore and they just banned hugging between students. I am absolutely furious. They've got a point, but I like cuddles...

Haha, what the hell? Are you serious? That's nuuuuts. I don't see any point to that. If I was a psycho who wanted to sexually assault some children, I'd find a way. Banning inter-student hugging doesn't seem like a very good solution. What if your friend is having a bad day?

Yea. I mean, if they don't see us do it, then what are they going to do about it? The only hugging that they're concerned about is the hugging we won't do when people are around.
I think they get mostly grumpy when the boys have a big group hug. It is pretty funny. Still, nobody is fatally injured.
Also, even if you aren't at school and you're, say, at the shops, and you're in school uniform, it is still not allowed.
I asked my teacher if he'd join us in a student's revolt. He said he'd have to give himself a detention. So in homeroom on the last day we all cuddled each other and my teacher just didn't want to know. He doesn't like to give detentions unless we're throttling each other, destroying something, or giving him a hard time.

It's Friday!!!I can sleep for the next two days
Hugging in some culture is tabooed; the school I came from had different benches for boys and girls. Physical hugging was unthinkable. They could hug privately not in the presence of others. Once a girl complained about getting kissed by a boy and the boy got expelled immediately. But now things have changed a lot and both boys and girls are exposed to western movies and soap operas here and parents are gradually getting loose on their children. In the city we see youngsters hugging now and then
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
Their point is severely weak. Just a mild justification of their salaries, but in the end, it's another proof that they lack the slightest idea of how to combat abuse. Next step could be "your eyes against the wall. Don't look at each other, for it seems sinful".
Blazeofglory, it is so not like here. Actually, we've always been very kissy and cuddly and it hasn't been a problem, or at least nothing has been done anyway, until now. I mean, to accomodate for the times, it has always been ignored unless the teachers have genuine cause for concern. Besides, they would much rather be able to watch us, however now they've forced it underground so it'll only get worse.
Maxi, it isn't fun. I mean, sometimes it gets innapropriate, however the student body demand of each other that it all stays appropriate, or else.
I made a blog entry about the student body, they do look out for each other.
Btw, our computer is having a lot of problems, I played with it for a while, I dismantled one thing, that may have been contributing, however it is still under threat in ways that I can't control with the programs we have. I did a good job and I fixed it up a bit. Still, rather than worry my head about it, we'll just call company, its easier.
Yea, so I may not be on as consistantly as usual. We'll see.
