K Sera's after thoughts:
Sorry! This topic fell completely off the rails like... immediately, and it just kept tumbling down into the ditch in a fiery explosion of off-topic nonsense. I feel like we should really revisit some of the topics that didn't get a focused discussion. That, and sometimes our thoughts and understanding about these things evolve. Hence the afterthoughts, I suppose. (Also, iio, we need to listen to Phil more and stop interrupting him? Yes. Yes we do.) Visiting Disney World is a good checkbox to include on this arbitrary list that marks a person as a "Suburban Princess" but there are other items that should be included. Like maybe your high school graduating class being larger than 500 students? Or having grown up with more than 1 TV in the household? It's not a super well defined group to lump people into, really, now that I think about it. What else would be a good marker? Growing up at least 15 minutes away, but no more than 1 hour away, from the nearest international airport? I kinda like that one. Also, Micah may rudely laugh at my driving, but he's passing judgement when he really ought not to be throwing stones. I'm not a bad driver. My record is excellent. (So go kick rocks, Micah!) I still stand by my statement that you do not need to experience something to know that something isn't for you. For many people, first-hand experience is necessary and helpful in their journeys of self-discovery. I do not think this is true for all people, though, and certainly not for all experiences.
