either that, or everyone's quietly making fun of me, it's hard to know the difference

in law school i mean. for my first semester, i was all clean shaven and stuff, and i didn't really see anyone else with a beard either. around the start of the second semester, i decided i'd start up the beard experiment again, and i stuck with it (still got one), and suddenly i started seeing beards everywhere. well, on maybe 4 or 5 people, i dunno, but it was a noticeable increase in the bearded population, i tell you. so either there's something about the second semester of law school that makes guys want to grow beards, or people are imitating me.

the other thing is i've started playing around with hair gel lately (i have very straight, thick, style-resistant hair, i'd given up on trying to make it look nice years ago, but lately i've been thinking about trying again because hey, what do i have to lose) and suddenly i see people styling their hair in ways that i'd never seen them do it before

i can't be sure, but i think i'm the cause of it. so i'm gonna try an experiment. currently, not one person in my class (or in boston or america or the 21st century for that matter) wears an ascot. i'm gonna start. every day. we'll see how committed these bastards are

I can't remember the name, but there's a term for this. It's like when you buy a new car, and you start seeing it everywhere, the car was always there, but it's just in your mind to notice it now.

Or when you meet a new person at school/uni. You will start noticing them all the time, they were always there, but now your mind knows them it picks them out.

I don't know if I'm making any sense here, it made sense when I heard it somewhere, I'll try and find the exact quote later.
