Philosophy parties
The other night we had a gathering at Ted's, and it occured to me that philosophy students are an unusual bunch. To give you an idea of what I mean, here is a brief list of happenings on this eve:
A) Someone passes out from excessive drinking.
B) You have a lively discussion about the content of an essay someone wrote last term.
C) Multiple people "crash" for the night, and sleep on the floor/couch/spare futon.
D) You discuss how excited you are about the (annual) philosophy conference you plan on attending 9 months from now, 1300 km away.
E) There is a pillow fight.
F) Before leaving in the morning, you borrow a textbook from a class you had been unable to take.
G) You spend the bus ride home bemoaning the fact that you didn't take the class. Because the textbook is just that fascinating.

Sounds like one hott party.
Actually, that sounds like a normal party, just involving eccentric people.
You know, the more I think about, it is just a normal party involving eccentric people. I suppose what is more relevant is how bizarre philosophy students tend to be. I imagine that you get the same phenomenon for many academic disciplines to some extent (although philosophy tends to attact more than it's fair share of the bizarre), but I'm pretty sure it is an effect fairly unique to university students.
