They probably think the same thing of your interests. Inanity is relative-- to me, things like sports, fashion, and the personal life of the celebrity of the month are inane; but the latest computer component specs, scientific theory, or good sci-fi books/movies are very interesting/important. For most kids my age, the opposite is true; I know that for a fact. I figured my statement implied that their 'life or death issues' (the federal crime of wearing black shoes, white socks, and tan pants together; or the Superbowl (who's playing this year, anyway? ;) ) are inane *to me*, and vice versa. *shrug* -- Vikki Roemer Homepage: http://www.2khiway.net/users/vroemer Registered Linux user #2880021 http://counter.li.org/ "Just because you're not paranoid, that doesn't mean they're not out to get you."
