Random Thoughts

I was walking on the sidewalk today right after class (my class is on the third floor), and I realized that it seems like this unspoken code that people going down walk on the right side of the stairwell while people going up go on the left. And, on the sidewalk, everybody sticks to their right side, whether they're coming or going. It's intriguing. Makes me wonder if it's the opposite in Europe, where cars drive on the opposite sides of the road.

Isn't it weird how unspoken codes seem to be everywhere? You just seem to instinctively know it, or you learned it from society. Even though there's a WHOLE OTHER SIDE of the stairwell, people tend to stick to the right. It's just for courtesy issues, I know. If there was a flaming fire at the top of the building, nobody would care and would trample down the stairs like a wild stampede. Isn't it strange, though? It would make people feel a little uncomfortable or think you're rude if you broke the code by just walking on the other side and bumping into the people going up. I do that sometimes, I must admit. I mean, it's a whole other side! But what other courtesy issues are there that we know but don't speak of? Just think about it.

Also. NSYNC. Oh my gosh. I don't think NSYNC will ever get old for me. That's what I grew up with. While people listened to New Kids on the Block or the Backstreet Boys, I was intensely in love with NSYNC. Even to this day I still have most of the lyrics of ALL their songs memorized. I can even remember that the first song I had ever memorized (besides Sunday school songs, of course) was an NSYNC song. I still love them though. I love their voices, and their harmony, and their a capella is beautiful (better yet, it's to DIE for). I've never heard any band sing a capella better!
