Random, unexpected vestige of high school internet usage: I was reading Mimi's Weblog and she has written something funny. Imagine. I started to smile, and then subconsciously fought the urge so hard that I almost give myself a cheek cramp. Why? Because when I went to high school, I got in trouble for smiling at the computer during class; it made it so clear that I wasn't writing my Ethics paper or whatever. Nobody would smile at Plato's Cave. Nobody! and Nobody shall.
I also got in trouble for smiling at the computer when I was at home, because that meant I was probably online or otherwise screwing around when I was supposed to be applying for college or downloading math problems.
Basically, smiling and computers have been kind of a verboten combination for me. From now on I pledge to laugh in front of the computer, even if I am in public and people can see me and stuff. Because it is Okay to do that!
