hiding behind the bike sheds when you are 13.
the smokers place at the university where i was at was (ironically enough) around the US flag. i wanted to take a photo of that - smokers gathering around the us flag (doing their patriotic duty?) but i didn't have a camera.
you might think it would be the great leveler but with the (not quite class) divisional structure between undergrads, grads, junior professors, and senior professors all was not level around the flagpole. the students who looked (superficially) like the 'alternative' 'most likely to drop out' undergrads were smoking round the flagpole (no frat guys or gals there) while the graduate students (ironically enough) were subversively hiding on balconies. wouldn't be seen dead hovering round the flagpole with the undergrads. the staff... well had all f*ck*d off, i suppose. while the rebels (least likely to be promoted?) would join the grads (risking the $500 dollar fine for court costs) the majority of the staff... had taken their business elsewhere.
cafes are the new offices.
the way of the future.
till they ban smoking on the streets, of course.
then what?
second life will be a roaring success. make me smoke in my own home - fine. that is what you get. 'distance learning'. what the f*ck ever.
the 'drinking' scene on second life is all the rage.
fueled by the prostitution scene, of course.
try as i might i have moral issues with prostitution on second life, even...
but still the club scene is raging. wonder if people are drinking at home while thats going down...
go figure.
