sorta better
Sunday, 12 June 2005 09:27 pmI spent a while weaving the chair I'm putting together and my sweetie made me crepes for desert. So I'm feeling sorta better about life, although today will hopefully rate as one of the dumber days I'll have in a while. Sometimes, it just makes sense to stay in bed.
Apropos of nothing at all, an idea I had in the shower the other morning.
Why don't trains, busses, and planes segregate people by sociability and noise level? The front should be people with babes-in-arms, the next section (falling where ever that naturally falls) should be those who want to meet new people and mostly chat. Those in the very back could be those who would prefer to spend most of their time reading a book thankyouverymuch. It might lead to trips being subjectively shorter for all people concerned. The bookworms would be able to really get into whatever they're reading without seeing Grandma's *&**# kid photos; and the extroverts toward the front would get to have real conversations too, instead of those awkward short conversations with the bookworms.
...Can you guess where I'd be sitting?
