I still feel like that ten year old. I look around at some girls I used to know, and I just wonder what the hell happened... and I also wonder if I missed something somehow! Argh!

Wonderful art; The "Eat At Joe's" is wonderfully quirky. =)

Yeah, I was the kid who blithely tunneled through middle school, drawing strawberries on my tapered jeans, writing epic fantasy stories, acting the smart-ass, and generally being incomprehensible to my schoolmates.

I had pals in 6th grade who would cheerfully pretend to be dragons together or go on magical woodland adventures - then in 7th grade, pwif, I was on my own. I don't think it ever dawned on me that I could TRY to conform.

That all sounds a hell of a lot like me, hehe!

I responded to it though by outright refusing to conform. Haha! I dressed as non-girly as I could, excelled in science, english and art class, never went to any of the school dances, and walked around in the school yard during elementary pretending I could control the wind. "The wind will blow............. now!"

Oh, my God, did you hear that segment of This American Life two weeks ago, the one about the woman who tried to start a tween-girls' gameshow to help subvert this very occurrence? Heartbreaking.

Nice stuff! I particularly like the Feynman piece!

[greyaenigma]

Yay Feynman!

And poor, poor magic users.

[greyaenigma]

Well, uh... glad I could cause dismay?

That is a lovely Feynman, whose QED I'm going to attempt to read again soon.

ooh I love this sketch dump! Especially that first image. It's so true, all of my best friends in elementary school completely changed during middle school whereas I kind of stayed the same (forever a child?). I guess sometimes people just grow in different directions. I wonder what they're up to now. We all split up in middle school because of our different taste in things.
