Deviance (sociology)
From Wikipedia
Deviance or the sociology of deviance explores the actions and/or behaviors that violate social norms across formally enacted rules (e.g., crime) as well as informal violations of social norms (e.g., rejecting folkways and mores). Although deviance may have a negative connotation, the violation of social norms is not always a negative action; positive deviation exists in some situations. Although a norm is violated, a behavior can still be classified as positive or acceptable.
Social norms differ throughout society and between cultures. A certain act or behaviour may be viewed as deviant and receive sanctions or punishments within one society and be seen as a normal behaviour in another society. Additionally, as a society's understanding of social norms changes over time, so too does the collective perception of deviance.
Deviance is relative to the place where it was committed or to the time the act took place.

I think it was my first thought after waking up this morning that I used to date Julia Roberts a long time ago.
I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

As I was trying to go to sleep last night, I had a thought that I have a doctorate in computer science from Princeton.
and I had thoughts that I studied music as well at Princeton.

This sounds very interesting. In my memory of taking Physics my Senior year at Ashdown, I remember being very interested in the class, but we didn’t cover such an interesting topic.

I think I even have memories of the graduate degree process. I am not sure of the terms to describe the process.
9/28/2006 7:47 PM
I actually do remember... something... I can’t explain it. It feels that I am holding an unmarked, undistinguishable book that I don’t know the name of or the contents but I know I have read it already.

A few minutes ago I started thinking that maybe I started at Princeton University in 1972. I would have been 13 at the time as Thomas Ray. I remember that Kerry Burgess started first grade in 1972. But then I decided that I probably started Princeton earlier than 1972 and maybe 1972 was the year I completed my first major degree. Or 1972 doesn’t really mean anything in particular to Thomas Ray; rather it is there for continuity sake for the life of Kerry Burgess.

Salesman
Also, "Salesman." I saw that in a dream while sleeping recently. I saw myself going through an induction process in the United States Marine Corps and I woke up understanding that I was dreaming of my actual experience in 1990. I saw a document that indicated I was being inducted to the United States Marine Corps with the officer grade of Chief Warrant Officer 2. I saw in the dream another document associated with my induction and that document indicated I had been assigned the informal name "Salesman."

Quotes
Walenski: I've been trying to remember things, CLEARLY remember things, from my past, but the more I try to think back, the more it all starts to unravel. None of it seems real. It's like I've just been dreaming this life, and when I finally wake up, I'll be somebody else. Somebody totally different!
Inspector Frank Bumstead: You saw something, didn't you, Eddie? Something to do with the case.
Walenski: There is no case! There never was! It's all just a big joke! It's a joke!

Pilot: Madame Secretary? We got your comm link. (She puts a hand on Billy's arm and then walks back into the cockpit.)
Man's voice: Thank god you're not here, Laura. Thank god. I've never seen anything-
Laura Roslin: Jack. Where is the President?
Jack: -thousands of people wandering in the streets...
Roslin: Where is the President, Jack? Is he alive?
Jack: I don't know. I think so. We hear all kinds of things.
Roslin: Have the Cylons made any demands? Do we know what they want?
Jack: No. No contact. I'm pretty sure about that.
Roslin: Has anyone discussed- Has anyone discussed the possibility of surrender? Has it been considered?
Jack: After Picon was nuked, the President offered a complete, unconditional surrender. The Cylons didn't even respond!
Pilot: (on the radio) Colonial Heavy 798. (pauses) Where? (radar starts beeping) What should we do? Uh, copy that. The Cylons have found us. There's an inbound missile.
Roslin: Where the hell'd our escort go?

(Back to Baltar's house)
Dr. Gaius Baltar: So now you're telling me, umm- Now you're telling me that you're a machine?
Six: I'm a woman.
Baltar: You're a machine. You're a synthetic woman. A robot.
Six: I've said it three times now.
Baltar: Well, forgive me, I'm having the tiniest bit of trouble believing that, because the last time anybody saw the Cylons, they looked more like walking chrome toasters.
Six: Those models are still around. They have their uses.
Baltar: Prove it. If you're a Cylon, prove it to me right now.
Six: I don't have to. You know I'm telling the truth.
Baltar: See, stating something as the truth doesn't necessarily make it so, because the truth of the matter is, I don't believe a word of it.
Six: You believe me, because deep down you've always known there was something different about me. Something that didn't quite add up in the usual way. And you believe me because it flatters your ego, to believe that alone among all the billions of people of the Twelve Colonies, you were chosen for my mission.
Baltar: Your mission? What mission?
Six: You knew I wanted access to the defense mainframe.
Baltar: (stunned) Def- Wait a minute, the defense mainframe? What exactly are you saying?
Six: Come on, Gaius. The communications frequencies, deployment schedules, unlimited access to every database.
Baltar: Oh my god.
