So near, and yet.

Why the idea of 'peer group by age' is laughable, take seventy-nine: Girls in the hall are giggling and talking about being tired and wiped out, and making plans to go out dancing instead of going to bed. I hate it when girls do stuff like that - it doesn't make any sense. Not a really great grasp of the whole 'cause and effect' relationship, there.

I'd mind less if they were generally quieter, since the walls here don't do much when sound's carried along hard surfaces. In the meantime, I'm poking at the internet, writing fic, and pondering picking up some classic existentialist reading.

Dammit, where's the social living situation designed to cater to my demographic?

Rationality's one of my biggest coping mechanisms. ("Recognize this is a transient emotion. Let it pass, let it slip under. It is enough that it is bitter. There is no need to focus.") I know other people don't use it as much as I do, but when it's like this I have a horrible time trying to figure out the whys and wherefores.
