Funny Article About the City of San Jose

I KNEW IT.

For a second I thought maybe he was just a highly-functional mentally disabled guy. Crocs look like “safety shoes” anyway, but really bright-colored ones are even more so— they look like prescription footwear that helps retarded people maintain spatial awareness of their feet so they don’t trip over them. He didn’t seem retarded, so I briefly wondered if he was just really good at keeping his cool in public. They can do that, right? Can’t they just concentrate really hard on walking naturally and battening down their facial expression?

I disagree, disagree VEHEMENTLY. So many freaking hills in my neighborhood, I literally had to walk uphill both ways to school. My street is in it’s own valley, it’s so annoying.

But I agree with the nerdiness factor. I remember when the fifth Harry Potter movie came out, IBM was showing advance screenings to their employees than their families. About half my friends went. In costume. Oh, and half my friends had booths at AnimeCon to sell stuff. Only a few cosplayed, though, so that’s good.

And just to reinforce the Man Jose thing: in my senior year of high school, I was put into AP Statistics by the scheduler by mistake. So for three days, I was one of THREE girls in the entire 45 student class. Granted, it was AP Stats, but still.
