intimidate me. You know, the people who never seem to get caught saying or doing anything embarrassing and just stare at you when you do. I always feel incredibly self-conscious around them because I'm convinced that they're silently judging me. In the presence of such people, I suppress my silliness and put on a mask of poise and normalcy (although I'm not entirely sure how well I manage this, since I don't actually possess either of these characteristics).
Then again, my logic could be completely circular. I am more or less normal around people I don't know well. Maybe we all have this shell of normalcy that we discard once we catch glimpses of the weirdo in other people.

we are all weirdos. :)
People who spend too much time trying to shield themselves by being overly "normal" are more likely insecure about themselves. These people usually miss out on all the fun it is to laugh at oneself and enjoying the company of others.
there are an excess of excessively normal people at berkeley.
hence, i hate it here.
though less so now. :)
I'd say that sometimes I even strive to be weird.
You can be as weird and as you as you want in front of everyone. Those that are your friends don't laugh at you, they laugh with you. So, I enjoy my quirky energy, and so should you. :]
