The Borg, Mar 7, 2008, 9:52 PM

Yesterday, a co-worker told me: " Jovi, I'm not trying to be critical...but if I didn't know you, I would think you were a weirdo."

Hm...what does that mean!??????

I ventured to find out by asking my other co-workers.  One co-worker said: "What's wierd!?  What's normal!? Haha, no Jovi.  It's just that you're not a follower and that's cool."

Cool.  I like that answer.

Then I asked another co-worker who said: "You're not wierd.  You're just...a foreigner.  You're not from LA.  You can really tell who's from LA and who's not."  She commenced naming some other co-workers who were quite quirky, and who also happened to be from out of town.  I wasn't sure how to take that I was placed in the quirky catagory. I wasn't sure I liked the other people she named...

Another co-worker I asked said, "Nah, you're cool."  But, I barely knew that co-worker, and my friend who originally called me weird reminded me of that.  I guess his opinion is moot.

Apperently, my wierdness is well known at my place of work.  I belong in the weirdo category...whatever the hell that means.

My theory is this:  People from LA are typically a bunch of robotic followers. Like, the Borg.  They can be loveable, don't get me wrong, just don't hum to a tune in a puppy-whimper sounding voice unless you're ready for someone to question your whereabouts.


The end.
