Individuality

it's encouraged, but only within boundaries.

For example...

we're all supposed to be outgoing, friendly, social. I'm introverted though, so this can be difficult for me. So do you do what society desires of you, or do you make an effort to be yourself?

I ran across an interesting article recently called "The Ophelia Syndrome." It discusses how to foster creative thinking in an environment that discourages it. I really enjoyed it.

Now I'm off to Wal-Mart in an effort to get a DS Lite for a Christmas present...hooray for Black Friday!
