Inner workings of a wierd mind
i plan to write about random thoughts that pop into my head as well as vent.
Random thought on clapping
i'm sure we all remember sitting in english class, dazing off and thinking about the extra cookie you'll treat yourself to at lunch. but that's beside the point. mrgreen do you remember how the teacher said that in shakpearean plays, people in love tended to speak in rhyme? well (not being a big fan of the 'falling in love' of shakespeare [actually falling in lust]) i really liked this aspect.

it signaled to me a...microcosm (sp?) of how when two people fall into synch, they really can do something beautiful (no, not sex, perverts). rhyming together (even being the un-romantic hopless-romantic contradiction i am) seemed very beautiful.

so as i was walking between classes, i noticed...noise. all around me, there were people laughing, screaming, (blabering on and on and on in a speed to high pitched and fast for the human ear to comprehend) and i also notcied that when a person became genuinly amused (myself included) they clapped. and especially in preformances, people clap at the end to signify goodness or amusment. Every one claps together, in harmony, synchronization. this expression of emotion somehow reminds me of the rhyming of shakespeare. how we can all, even in modern day life when love has become casual sex and the excuse to stalk someone, we can still do something beautiful.
