Why does blue scatter better though?

I noticed some of the text got smaller.

Don't stop by my house, we cuddle, just enjoy each others company, and then leave and leave your scent on me and not expect me to miss you. :I

3: I'm sorry.

I went through such crazy moods last night. I went from sobbing, to a sort of quiet relief, to spending time with Zach ( cool ), to gloating so much over the end of day in the mafia game.

Unfortunately I then proceeded to sleep through my two classes today, so there go two absences I probably can't afford. sad

I disagree LoA, LSD, Tyler. At least where I live Spring makes it sexy outside. It's been raining for like a week straight, and I love rain. My allergies are acting up too though, which does suck. It's like 45 here and rainy. Really enjoyable, considering most of my winter was in the negatives, which I hate driving in ice, and snow, and the cold.

LPS, I can't stop thinking about that chat we had awhile ago about Identity, and who we are, and how other people affect our personalities. lol I'm not trying to rock old boats, but my thoughts persist beyond my own intended navigation.
I think you had a fair point in that everybody has qualities that stay the same throughout life, but I don't think it's fair to narrow the answer to "who am I?" down to that one facet of what people are made of.
First of all, how would those consistent personality traits ever make themselves evident without other people to experience them with in the first place? It's LIKE impossible to set oneself completely apart from society and say that they're the same in both settings.
And so much of people depend on their Past, and it's impossible to have a Past without others. How many people would define themselves as anything other than what their Peers think of them at any given time? How many high schoolers see themselves as the Kid who eats alone at lunch, or the Kid who hangs out with the Band geeks, or the Kid who grew up without much of a family and clung to the one best friend who never left his/her side? It can be a self-fulfilling cycle of "I am X, and they see me as X, therefore I must be X, and I should probably act like X". That interaction with our environments becomes a part of our personality reflexes as far as how we interact with others, and even how we dialogue to ourselves.

Today I heard a story about a man who jumped off a bridge. He left a note as his home saying, "I'm going to the bridge. If One person smiles at me on the way there, I won't kill myself".
His life ended that day.
Because nobody smiled at him. If one person had smiled at him, he would have lived. He only needed One smile from another living, breathing, caring person to make his life worth living.
I know this example can't be generalized to the whole of society, but it's a point to ponder; When pushed to the edge of our own existence, it came down to a smile. That was the line. If that's where the edge is, how much more can the people closest to us change who we are on a whole?
