Two days ago, while talking with a friend of mine, my medieval philosophy professor passed us, and I said, "Hey, we were JUST talking about how wonderful your class was!" (It was the typical Brennan statement of humor, sincerity, ADD bubbliness, and a little bit of sarcasm. But only a pinch.) The professor turns to my friend and says, "Is he always like this?" And my friend Corey says, "Yeah, he is." THEN my professor says, "Oh, ok. Just checking."
Not to mention the fact that when most people start to get to know me, they usually ask someone who is standing right next to me, "Is he always like this?" I thought I would be used to it by now, but is this a really common occurence, and I am starting to worry.
Can't a guy be, uh, himself?

don't fret, Brennan. When people behave outside accepted norms, they get talked about. And I don't mean, they walk around with bananas on their heads or scream expletives at regular intervals (As opposed to my screaming expletives at IRREGULAR intervals), I mean people like us who are loud and talkative and slightly eccentric. But just think: you're people's friend Brennan who is hilarious and odd, who they tell amusing stories about when they just meet people and aren't sure what to say. You're breaking the ice, and you're not even there!
Thank you for that very, uh, interesting observation. LOL. I guess I am quirky to the max, then, huh? LOL.
Cool. Thanks for the pick me up.
