I'm such a hypocrite. I urge other members of our class to blog (mainly to hush up one very LOUD member of my group) and completely neglect my OWN blog. But I shall NO LONGER neglect this wonderful blog page and will write on regular basis. Of course, most people who know me well will know that I'm lying and I probably forget about this sooner rather than later. BUT NOW I HAVE A TOPIC! An amusing one, too!
It's about quiet people. You know who I'm talking about. If you don't, let me specify. The quiet, gentle sort who rarely speak louder than a whisper, never get angry, keeps their thoughts to themselves and drive you mad with the desire to know what the hell they're thinking. You know the kind. We all do. I've always wondered what goes in the minds of these silent thinkers. Well, I hope they're thinkers. I guess it would be pretty boring to be that quiet AND not having anything going through your mind. In any case, I know at least of TWO of the notorious 'mute' ones in our class are smart. But I've lost my point. Ah! I found it again. These people bother me immensely mainly because I'm a very outgoing (that's a gentle word) person and usually, if not always, speak my mind and generally speak it very loudly. The idea of not saying the first thing that comes to my mind (if it passes the 'shut up filter' test) is preposterous and I wish I could emulate these qualities that I fear/admire. Maybe I should stalk Nancy around for a day and try to copy her.
It is my general opinion that the quiet ones (as they shall now be referred to) have some sort of hidden agenda. Not Nancy; she's way too sweet. But the other ones....I'm almost CONVINCED that the quiet ones have a murderous streak in them that will one day be revealed. Or maybe they'll be presidents/prime ministers and choose that time to reveal their masochistic side and the country will be turned into a dictatorship that will rival the reigns of Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, Mussolini but not Hitler because I don't think they're capable of THAT. But maybe they'll put all gifted kids in concentration camps. I can't lie; I've often daydreamed of doing that very thing. What if they don't have murderous or evil intentions? Maybe they've got a secret WILD SIDE! I can imagine the quiet ones going to university and letting it all go. Getting drunk and high and having random sex with strangers.....naw, I can't see it. What I can see is massive sexual repression. (again, this completely and utterly excluding Nancy and other 'innocents' because they fit into an entirely different category that I also don't understand) But I do have justification for this allegation. Guys and girls interact with each other and through the process of the day, flirt constantly. Or at least, overuse sexual ennuendoes and idolize good looking strangers in order to release the hormones. But the quiet ones....they never say ANYTHING and often don't interact with many people outside of their gender; so unless they're gay, which I highly doubt they are, I don't understand where all that sexual energy goes! Don't try to deny it; we're all guilty of it those sexual feelings. We're teenaged so we're supposed have raging hormones. Most of us have it in control with an occasional illict thought or unwarranted urge to kiss someone. But that's becuase we can release in harmless ways such as FLIRTING which the quiet ones don't do! DO YOU SEE WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS?
Yet now, I'm struck by a thought. What if they DO flirt and we/I just don't notice it becuase they're....well....you know....quiet? *gasp* My theory of sexual repression in quiet people could be ruined! Oh well, I still have murderous one. But anyway, I invite all the quiet ones especially the ones who miraculously find their voices online to comment here and give me insight into their confusing minds. For the others, if you share my fear.....you've probably already expressed it but express it again. It makes for amusing reading.
