I was reading A Separate Peace. I thought it was really good but in the beginning, the one thing that the main character wanted the most, was to bend in. This made me think about how unoriginal people are. I wonder why the majority of girls in our school wear those female tuxedo shoes and skinny jeans. I wonder why the majority of guys in our school have their pants at their knees. I must admit that i am apart of the skinny jeans thing but it makes me kind of sad to know that being original and interesting isn't "in fashion".
I also wonder who brought these clothing items into fashion. to be honest, i would be pissed off if i wore one thing on day and then every one was wearing the same thing on the next day. I also wonder if that particular item is a part of one persons originality. Through making things popular, we are destroying it's originality. I don't really know what to say about designers. This problem with originality is the same thing as a designer creating a wonderful item and a bunch of other companies take it and make it their own by switching the tag. Soon, you don't know who the original designer is.
While processing these thoughts, i got to thinking about why people try so hard to fit in. Why do people spend money on worthless items because it will make them popular? Whats the point? I remember when you could wear almost anything to school and it didn't affect your social life. You could wear long pink velvet skirts and and a tie-dye shirt and still be popular. I wonder what happened to the days when popular didn't exist.
Yes, some people try to make things their own be adding a belt or pin, but it doesn't work. The product is clearly the same thing as it used to be. It's hard to be original and not an out cast at the same time. To those people who can pull it off, i applaud you.
What do you think, blend in, or stand out???

a few people who i think are amazing
Molly
http://epiceyebrows.blogspot.com/2010/12/jumpor-burn.html
I absolutely love this post. It wraps up life into one little, but affective question. Jump or burn? We can either risk what we have, or play it safe until we realize that safe doesn't exist. I love the way molly is able to create ideas that can seem confusing at first, but after you understand it, they can be life changing. Being her friend for so long has given me a chance to understand the molly that i know today. Her amazing posts help me to learn more and more about her. The one thing that i love about this particular post it that it was built off of a question. It's hard to pull a post like this off because there are so many different ways that it can be viewed. Good job Molly!!!

I must admit that i have not been avidly reading Isabelle's blog. I regret this because, as i was looking for a mentor, i came across this blog. As i read, i wished that i could rewind time and enjoy that feeling of suspense, when you want another, but you know you have to wait. Also, the amount of interesting interpretations can be very over whelming to the mere human mind.This post got me thinking about how well i really know people and it kind of scares me. all of these questions were running through my mind. Yet another amazing post, revalving around a question...Great job!!!

Another blog that i regret not reading. I found this post to be very interesting. Me, as a person, question life in almost every way and create assumptions that seem so incredibly common but are understood differently by everyone. I love the title of this blog. "What if he hadn't", such a thought provoking thing to say (or, in this case, write). What if we all hadn't. What if one your parents decided to stay in instead of going out. I wouldn't exist, if that was the case. It seems that everything has a "what if you don't" aspect to it. I also love the way he ended it, "I guess that's just life". Amazing writing Ben!!!
