Spice It Up!

As we continue to progress in our current novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, I find myself questioning my own insanity. What makes an individual truely insane? For the past couple of weeks, our blogs have been filled with numerous posts about our obsession with AP English. We all strive for perfection and dedicate most of our day to depicting the little details out of one book. Many may argue that these characteristics, in a way, reflect an insane person. Outside of AP English, I have found that we all have our little corks that define ourselves in unique ways, but raise the question of our sanity. For instance, the other night during a senior band "get together," Tina began quickly swallowing strawberries whole and in a matter of seconds she had reached double digits. The reason behind this peculiar action? I cannot say. I recall everyone staring in awe and wondering why anyone in their right mind would risk choking to death in exchange for the "cool feeling" Tina claimed to have come from this. Would this make Tina insane? I reflect on this memory with only content. Yes, Tina, along with myself and my other friends, have times when we act "insanely". However, these moments define our personality and, in reality, allow us to enjoy ourselves from the stupidity of our actions. I feel that everyone needs a little dose of insanity to spice up their lives and enjoy living an "insane" lifestyle.
