If Most Normal People Are Like Envy's Midget the World Is Doomed

I had one of those random grocery store conversations with my mom today, after we got back from the send-off party (the frosh were nice, but the alumni were SCARY, by the way). I think the jist of it was that most people are wilfully ignorant - they could know things and read things and all that, but they just choose not to. Which makes no sense to me, the person who lives on Wikipedia, reading articles about riots in Paris in the 1800s and the structure of the education system in England compared to Japan. I just don't understand why you would want to not know things, or why you would resent other people knowing them. It seems so...stupid. I'm always getting frustrated with Envy's Midget because I'll say things where I know she doesn't know what I'm talking about, but she never asks me to explain, she just says "oh i see" and turns the topic to something else. Sometimes I deliberately bring up obscure ideas, facts, or terms, just so I can see if she'll ask about them. She never does. I have to keep reminding myself that most people probably are like that. I can't make any generalizations about this country, or people, or whatever, based on my friends. Because my friends are weird.

I am proud of myself. I finally started  meaning I wrote three sentences of the John Donne fic. Cause anyone who can't see Kakashi hitting on Iruka by saying, really, they've already had sex, since they both got bit by that bug, is delusional. He would be all over that. It's nice to write something not angsty. Sort of. In a way. I'm feeling all excited too cause I think I finally figured out what to do with the last chapter of He Just Doesn't See, and it's going to be Sakura, forcing the issue. Fun. Must...find something...angsty...to write...Maybe the fic about Naruto deciding that pretty much he's screwed himself big time, since he can never really have a relationship with Sasuke (what with that whole running off with a snake perv and trying to kill him thing), but he can't stop himself from loving him either. And then over to Sasuke, angsting about how he loves Naruto, but he's so messed up in the head that all he can do is hurt him for trying to care about him. I seem to have a thing for squaring off Sasuke's and Naruto's feelings for each other. Heh.

Random Thought of the Day: I was looking at a Chris Daughtry CD at the bookstore the other day, and I noticed that Track 2 was "It's Not Over", and Track 4 was "Over You." The fact that I find that incredibly amusing probably says some sad things about my mental health.
