Peace Out

Today, I developed the Comfort to Scandalability Theorem which basically states that: "In many situations, how scandalous your actions may be or appear to be and how comfortable you are performing said actions have a direct positive correlation."

I also developed the word "Scandalability." Please refrain from using it in public as it is not actually a real word.

This concept is very easily demonstrated. It's more comfortable to wear sweats than jeans, but it is often frowned upon in our cosmopolitan world. That being said, wearing soffes is far more comfortable than wearing sweats, but I'm nearly positive a mob would be out for my blood if I ever just showed up to school in a pair. With my close friends, I feel safe enough to make seductive faces and use four syllable words and cry like someone on Lortab. All of these actions, however, are deemed weird and awkward and annoying to those who are mere acquaintances. Simply put, when you let your defenses drop, people are not likely to accept what they see.

That wasn't simply put^^

There is an inverse that says when someone does something you're uncomfortable with, their Scandalability increases in your eyes. I think facial piercings are undesirable, awkward, and unattractive. I would never get one, ad when I see someone with a lip or a nose ring etc., I come up with crude stereotypes and don't know how to react to that person. Something they were very comfortable with increased the negative opinions in others' eyes.

Let it be noted that this theorem is not perfect. Disregarding individual circumstances and personalities, the situation has an affect on our comfort and such. I've honestly been tempted to go to the store braless. I would feel so much better making a quick run without the physical and, arguably, emotional discomfort that comes from wearing a bra, and a baggy sweatshirt will adequately protect me from strangers passing by. However, all hell would break loose if I ran into someone I know. Technically, the Scandalability has not changed, but my comfort level has gone from one extreme to the other in an instant.

Basically, I think I'm clever sometimes. I should really just sleep instead.
