I am told that the Chinese have a curse that goes, “May you live in interesting times.” I find it odd that so many people are normal and want to be normal. My life is always interesting. I used to get bored and wonder if that was because in those years I was just boring. Was it just that I had become normal? I shudder at the thought. I was the kid who was in both the “gifted and talented” classes and the “learning delay” classes at the same time. I was smart enough to know how awkward I was but not smart enough (or more accurately not smart in the right ways) to do anything about it. I feel like I’m less awkward nowadays. I worry that I might become uninteresting again. I will leave it to you my dear reader to decide that.
