no Sept. 28 . . . Finally figures out why I like public restrooms. On my C-mod. break, having made a jaunt to the v omen's room by Doc’s, it occurred to me that public restrooms have no particular” connection with their location, except for a few pipes. Har Mar Theaters, Perkins’ Steak and Cake, and Bethel could all swap restrooms and life would go on as usual. So why am I so fond of them? Somehow. Bethel’s bathrooms join me with the whole world. Since last summer, the notion of living in two worlds has bothered me. I want to live in one world — the world God made. Otherwise I'll end up being two people. I may be weird, but what of it? Everybody is weird. And blessed are those who don’t mind themselves. Oct. 21 . . . Hot debate in Human Devel. today — lifestyle issue. Class buzzed like a beehive. Right now I'm more into life” rather than style. Thought of this Steve Turner poem: History repeats itself. Has to. No one listens. ... Idea for Senior Sem. Psych, paper: examine what things change or don’t change in a person as they age.

r$0 PSO Nov. 3 Last Sat. night went to a costume party. ( Dressed up as a woman who ran out of gas — showed up with a two-gallon gas tank.) Sort of fun. A lot of new faces, not to mention the masks. Later on during the party, when most begin to mellow down, a handful got their second-wind to hyper up. Actually. some of them got obnoxious. Then this girl got on my nerves. Funny thing — she reminded me of myself in past years. For the rest of the evening, my thoughts wouldn't stop knifing the people around me. This guy is as callous as a camel’s knee. That girl could have a lobotomy and nobody would know the difference. That guy eats like a grazing cow: non-stop. Why do I tear into people like that, and even enjoy it? Do I think I'm better just because I see things a little differently? . . .
