Irony at it's Best

I consider myself to be pretty prideful.  Usually I think of myself as being outside of the system and somehow better than it.  At the beginning of this semester I thought exactly that when our teacher asked us if we were hip or not.  I couldn't fathom that I'd be judged by someone else's measuring system.  It is therefore extremely ironic and humorous to me that I now consider myself to be a Trickster which is like the "God of Hip".  This opinion, while not neccessarily untrue because I actually fit almost all of the requirements, was formed due to my pride.  My subconscious thought was that if I can't be outside of the system I must be at the top of it.
