Being queer.

I've noticed that the title of my posts sometimes begin with a capital, and sometimes do not. Sometimes they end in a period, sometimes they don't. That's queer.

What further exemplifies the word 'queer' to me is my interaction with my alleged peers. The things that are considered "important" or "interesting", and, by contrast, those that are considered "shit" by me, are often opposite to what general persons consider so.

Issues, like human interaction and relationships. Most people think that they things that are worth talking about, with regards to relationship and interaction is that he/she is retarded and that he/she should die. Oddly, a simple modification to the conversation could lead to more meaningful discourse. Instead of simply saying that he/she is retarded, why not discuss why?

In a world where the majority would seem more willing to discuss and listen to discussions on the virtues and techniques of farting, as opposed to discussing the reasons behind psychosocial behaviour, I can't help but feel a bit queer.

Where open expression, and truth; logical reasoning and fact are often shelved for unfathomable displays of ignorance; Where more effort would go into creating a fake external appearance, instead of genuine internal worth, I, once again, cannot help but feel a bit queer.

I can imagine a group of people saying "Why are you talking about the meaning of the universe? That's gay!", and moving away to form their own assemblage where they'd sit and talk for hours on end about the new hot pair of shoes that the generic teen idol wore.

It's not that their conversation is less important - recreation is important - but how about a balance? I don't consider a serious conversation one in which people talk about the best soap opera on TV... that's just being queer.
