The astounding psychology behind dying one's hair pink and then saying indignant things to startled strangers...

I'm mean, sure...we all feel like middle America needs a kick in the butt, but why do we get so caught up in the vanity department? I am especially talking to you ladies, but guys do it too...

My pet peeve, is the assumption that that I 'must be gay'... I just ask why?... It ususally stems from someone in their own life that they reaaly like, that seems 'unaccountably' gay, and so the wonder is afoot about other people. What a tiresome distraction it is. What is the psychology behind assumptions like this? I am sometimes amazed by the odd intuition that people are trying to tag others with the lowest possible (in their mind) assumption... I think that is why creeps try to look so normal and straight.

Being goofy is really fun when you don't have anything to hide! But it is sad when people are overreactive to their own provocations... " what are you looking at?". ttr
