>>Whatever makes you happy,
Whatever you want,
You're so fucking special,
I wish I was special...<< radiohead's "creep"

atypical?
This morning i was sitting in front of 343 LeConte waiting for my physics professor to arrive so that we could go inside and start lecture. There was a redhead there amongst the crowd. His ponytail rested on his upper back, interrupting the uniform pattern of his flannel shirt. He was busy explaining quantum mechanics and the particle nature of light to yet another confused soul. He was confident about the content of his words. He walked away twiddling his fingers and talking to himself...i thought people only did that in cartoons...isn't that move reserved for mr. burns? *grin* my existence had just been graced by a stereotypical nerd. not to speak condescendingly, mind you, just, *wow* i didn't know people like that still exist.

on the contrary
Kathy was telling me about Boy (he shall remain anonymous, as his true identity is not of utmost importance in this context). He's an engineer. She says he's "atypical". He doesn't spend all of his time in front of a computer, he's never on AIM..."he's full of surprises," she says.

So what about me? Am i full of surprises? Am i the stereotypical boring engineer? please oh please say it ain't so. I could try and find reasons for why i am not one of those >> photography, skating, dance, can match my clothes--decent amount of fashion sense, etc. << but more importanly, how do people perceive me? Ahh yes, the age old question of our time, what do other people think?
