Issue date: 4/23/08 Section: Opinion
So, you're finally out on your own, going to college, and meeting new people. No longer are Mom and Dad asking stupid questions like, "Where have you been for the last 3 days", or "Why can't you just be normal like other kids?" I mean come on. You're an individual with unique tastes, hopes, and dreams. What do they know about being free, they have jobs and sh-t.
Now, you arrived in Humboldt for a new life but still haven't quite broken into the social scene. No one wants to be an outsider, so like many you try to fit in. Yet for some reason after obtaining a head of dreadlocks, ears full of piercings, and general contempt for established society you still haven't broken into the scene enough to hang freely with the cool kids. What gives? Unfortunately, this problem plagues Humboldt society. The truth is that there are many who wear the uniform of the "hippie" yet fail to fully embrace their ideals. For this I put forth this simple and effective hippie conversation generator. Just listen to these exciting testimonials:
"I used to only play the bongo, but thanks to Insta-Hippie I'm leading the drum circle!" Bryan, Blue Lake
"No one ever invited me to the protest rallies, but just last week I was beaned in the head with a smoke grenade, thanks Insta-Hippie!" Kelly, Arcata
Hang out and fit in for the first time! I recommend generating a few sentences to remember at first but as your skill improves feel free to improvise, just let you're mind drift into a wealth of possibilities! Just fill in the blanks from the appropriate categories.
So the other day I was talking to (____A_____) when they told me that (______B______) is/are planning to (---------C--------). I think that is really messed up because I'm a (--------D-------), and I don't like things like (----------E---------)! Furthermore, I enjoy (---------F-------). Wow, don't we have so much in common? We should hang out, for sure dude!
