EDIT

After writing my previous post I called my dad and talked theory with him. Let me preface this with the fact that my dad is a brilliant man. An intellectual. A man. Put it together. So the bulk of our discussion was my frustration with letting the theory of dramaturgy and symbolic interactionism explain my life and my relationships. Because if the theory was true then I was feeling my world fall apart. However, theories by definition are objective. They are a bird's eye view even though they are micro level. They are an explanation, not a design. I was taking something that was objective and applying it to me. Me. I am subjective. Using words like sincere and genuine are subjective terms. The theory never said that the roles are played without integrity and that we can't improvise.

Interesting.

These girls sitting beside me better shut up. I will role play mortal combat all up on them if they don't quiet down.
