I'm not inclined to disagree but we also have a myriad of other reasons: to share our vapid and mostly wrong ideas, to flaunt our opinions and inflated sense of entitlement and to expose ourselves in a manner that will return to haunt us in a manner far more horrifying that one photo (even though you'd thought you'd destroyed all evidence) from that day way back when - you know the one.
Why am I doing it though? Well, I'm.................well I've..................................maybe I've finally gone mad, that's a possibility isn't it? I know insanity is a little out of fashion but I've such a fondness for the classics. But seeing as I lack a suitably gothic dress and mansion I'm afraid I'll simply have to defer the dubious pleasure.
I guess it's because I'm going abroad in a very real sense - no Scotland isn't really all that different culturally speaking - and I should do something to commemorate such a momentous occasion. But really to give those back home something to peer at. Hey. they can tut disapprovingly over SKYPE. Better that than questions about my weight. (That, afterall, is the sole provense of my mother)
But to begin with, what? Afterall, I haven't really gone yet and until my luggage is actually packed I don't want to neurose about it. Hmmmm......well, this is the Internet so I should respect the culture!! KITTY!!!
