I've been asking people lately what their first impression of me was. The answers were scattered; I've been a lot of things. The one thing they always add at the end is "But I never thought you would be as witty as you are." For awhile I was unhappy about this. Why could I be everything from quiet to talkative, from dumb to intelligent, but I couldn't be witty? Why don't they see that I'm witty?
After I gave this serious on the toilet thought, I realized, would I really want to look like someone who was witty? I bet you someone who looks witty looks fucked up. They'd have a little bit of a nerd look. They'd have sly eyes and a high society snarl. They'd probably even end up looking a little ironic. Would you want to look ironic? Who the hell would want to look witty then? Do you think this
guy looks witty? I'm helluva glad I'm not witty looking.
