weirdos

I met a couple of people today who seem to be intelligent young adults waiting to take on the university world by a storm. One guy I sat beside was a totally weirdo though. In my mind, I've tried to think of countless things to defend his case of weirdness or freakiness, but I just can't. The things he says are just too weird. An example: He was shaking his leg furiously (as I often do), so I decided to, y'know, break the ice a little bit and said: "What, are you nervous or something *smile*". No response. In the awkwardness, I say: "I'm pretty nervous." He turns to me, and says quietly, almost to a whisper, "Only the weak get nervous". WTF. So taken aback but at the same time determined to make conversation with this guy, I decided to stoop to the same level of weirdness as him and ask about his TI84 on his desk. Sarcastically, I said: "Wow, she's a beaute. Can I see her?" Yes, I know, I personified a calculator which I can't say I'm especially proud of. But I really wanted to know what was going on inside this guys head! In his arrogance he responded: "your fingers are dirty. You may look at it though". WTF moment #2! So it was then I decided that a conversation with a person that weird, is just not worth the trouble. I wanted to tell him off (haha, oh-kay there Steph), but as always, the only comeback I could think of was "YOUR MOM is DIRTY." Which, in the setting that we were in, would be highly inappropriate. Although I don't think your mom jokes are ever appropriate. Trust me, I would know.
