And he's kind of weird.
He's one of those people who you just kinda give that "ok..." look to, and continue your life, but it wasn't until yesterday that I realized how awesome this kid is. He brought a bottle of super glue to school, and after gluing his fingers together we had this conversation.
"Are you gluing a paperclip to your finger?"
"Not to my finger."
He puts the paper clip on a pencil.
"You're going to rule the world one day. You're going to be one of those people who we make fun of and laugh at, but in 20 years, you're going to rule the world. And it's going to be an awesome world."
The day before that he was battling himself in Magic The Gathering. He even explained to me how to play, and gave me a funny look when I mentioned Yu-Gi-Oh cards in 5th grade. I felt like it was the same look I give to people when they compare not crappy videogames to Call of Duty Modern Warfare. That, "You don't know enough about my hobby to pass judgement" look.
So this kid, whose name will be retained for privacy is a rather cool person. I feel like this kid is one of those people who lots of people call him weird, and let him pass, but really he's not a bad guy. I've had some nice conversations with the kid. And truthfully, he's a lot cooler than anyone who's judged him negatively.
So basically, what I'm saying here is that you shouldn't judge people by their cover. Get to know a person first.
