i suppose i fit the mould of the brainy, freaky,oddball kid who reads too much, so bright that my obvious genius is sometimes mistaken for just being retarded. i know a lot of trivia, and i often use words that sound made up but that actually turn out to be in the dictionary, to everyone's surprise - but i can never quite manage to keep my shoes tied or figure out anything witty to say when someone addresses me directly. i play it up. it's all i've got going for me and, if i can manage to leave the impression that my awkwardness arises from some kind of deep or complicated soul, why not go for it? but, i admit, most of the time i walk around here feeling like a total idiot.
