Rule 63

         Science major: could actually accept every episode even if I disagreed with it because they backed (most) of their ideas up with evidence. So this means I’m free-writing! For this, it was tricky to choose either a different galaxy or a parallel universe to write about since they are similar in a few ways. A galaxy, in general, is like where there are altogether different life forms but a parallel universe is where there are still humans and such. But a parallel universe can have loads of differences such as magic. Also, in a parallel universe, not everyone is different. When I think about parallel universes, most of the people that I would be exposed to would be no different because in a parallel universe, only a few things differ from our own one.

            I’m going to basically talk about a parallel universe where I, and a perhaps 25% of the overall world population, have been affected by Rule 63. Rule 63 is the Gender-Bending rule, where males become females and females become males. I sometimes wonder how different my life would be if I were the opposite sex. If I were the opposite sex, I don’t really think my personality would be that different. My parents would still be the same sex as they are here, and so would my brother. So much of personality comes from outside influences that were not put upon me by my parents and sibling. I think, as the opposite sex, I still would have taken dance classes from the age of 5 and would continue to dance even in college. My opposite sex self would still have been as energetic as I was when I was in preschool. It was that teacher who recommended my Dance Studio to my mom due to that amount of energy (and the fact that I danced around all the time). As the opposite gender, I feel like my sexual orientation wouldn’t change either because I have such a strong dislike for my own sex (though I don’t want to change it in this world!), and that has nothing to do with any one person’s influence, it was a fact that I realized early own from observing the world around me (which again would still be 75% the same in this universe). I could go on and on, since I’ve given this weird idea a lot of thought over the past few years, but I won’t since I’m already over 400 words.
