I’ve been pinged… whatever that means
January 7th, 2007 by Killapill
I’ve been told I have to write 5 things that people do not know about me…
1. I actually do like cats.
2. I am afraid of dentists, doctors and medical facilities in general. Think about it. It is not in their best interests to “cure” you. What is in their best interest is to keep you around but coming back. Besides, they smell funny.
3. I am intensely shy. It causes me much anxiety to meet new people. While at work I can usually put on a professional exterior and meet people. In non work type situations, I have difficulty with the whole “hi, I’m Joel.” crap. Who knows why.
4. I watch cartoons for some unexplained reason. I can sleep with cartoons running on the television. Whats particularly interesting about that is that you can pretty much leave cartoons on while I’m asleep and set of explosions, vacuum, have shouting matches, etc and I won’t wake. Turn the cartoons off and I’m up.
5. By general social standards, I am not smart at all. People seem to judge intelligence on how much trivia people retain, how ‘up’ they are on current events, things like that. Neither of those two things I pay attention too very much. I’m pretty good at solving problems though. Thats where my “smarts” lay. Like a “protector” from Niven’s “ringworld” universe. Except with out all the ugliness. Wait, thats right I am ugly.
I have to ping 5 people. I don’t know 5 people.

What do you mean, you’re not smart at all? You’re one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever known! Of course, that doesn’t make you endearing; but it definitely makes you smart.
Trivia be damned.
What do you mean I’m not endearing? I’m the most engaging and cute/hot/sexy person in the universe. You people just can’t deal with it and are jealous! I’m too sexy for milan, no I won’t disco… etc etc.
