He stopped and turned to Yumi, then to Ariana. "Sorry about this, but I am going into 'debate mode.' Well, 'Miss Philosophy,' explain to me, please. What is 'normal'? Who is 'normal'? And who has the power to judge something as 'normal?'"

Ariana giggled "debate mode? that's interesting." she tipped her head on one side and bit her lip. "hhmm normal..well i would say that normal is 'being like everyone else' staying within the boundries of acceptability of a community and striving to shape your character and looks to fit the ideal impressions of the community. do be who everyone else thinks you should be. of course 'normal' changes within seperate communities. as for who is normal, i would refer you to what i just said. you probably could pick out the normals within a community, all those people who are exactly who you expect them to be in every way, well it is usually up to the community, over a period of time people build up a picture of what they think certain people should look like, act like, almost stereotypes, and those that fit the stereotype, are normal.
"judging normal?" Ariana shrugged her shoulders. "i would say everyone has a different conception of normality and so we are all equally capable in judging what we percieve to be normality, although we are more often than not influenced strongly by the ideas of other poeple, or ideas that are already in place. perhaps the only person of judging normaility completely unbiased would be god, if he existed. but normality can be judged by proffesionals..normailty of mind falls to a psychiatrist, normailty of health, a doctor, normaility of educational abilities, a teacher..etc." she glanced at the boy then smiled shyly. "oops i seem to be getting completely carried away. probably all rubbish, just my opinions i'm afraid," she blushed and stopped talking abruptly.

"oops i seem to be getting completely carried away. probably all rubbish, just my opinions i'm afraid," she blushed and stopped talking abruptly. ((huge post LOL!!)) "Finally! Someone worth arguing with!!" He took a deep breath. "Your view of normality seems to be more of a psychological mindset of looking attractive in a society that has set stereotypical views of human appearance. You sound like you're trying to understand why an anorexic is the way they are. I agree, that normal changes within different communities, but normal is not just fitting into where someone thinks you should, and if you do fit into where someone thinks you should, someone else's views in the same society may differ in an enormous way. And how can one 'be like everyone else,' if everyone else is different from each other? Fitting into a stereotype does not make one normal, it makes one stereotypical. I like your ideas on judging normality, though. but I think you are confusing normality with a few things with your professional judging. A 'normal' mind, according to you, is really just a 'sane' mind. 'Normal' health is really just being healthy. And 'normal' educational abilities, or intelligence as most would say, is just average intelligence." He sighed and looked at her. he saw her blush. "Hey, there's nothing to be embarassed about. I countered your opinions with my opinions. there really are no facts on a topic like this...we just go with our opinions." He smiled. "I like that you got carried away. It shows that you are passionate about what you believe. there's no reason to be emabarassed by that. Besides," he chuckled a bit. "You're cute when you blush, but cuter when you're being smart" He smiled at her. ((Also long post...hahaha))

Ariana looked up at him. "sounds like this is a conversation we could have for quite a while, but i'm afraid i wills tick to my idea that normal is healthy, i think that's pretty much exactly what it is really. but i mean you're right it is defintely ((sp sorry ^^)) a matter of opinion. and yeah i beleive a lot of things and tend to get carried away with all of them." she smiled again then blushed again and smiled at the boy coyly "oh dear now i'm blushing about blushing!" she said laughing. she took out her timetable. "well i have a free next..i don't suppose you do, i'm sure you have plenty of other opinions i could disagree with you about.."

"Sure." she said, walking over to him and taking a few of the books he was holding so that it would be lighter. "I'm yumi, by the way." she said with a smile.
