I've said this before, and I'll probably say it again—my life is weird. But in a very, very cool way.
We've been shooting a lot of “High School Bowl”s recently, so much so that we're now on the second or third appearances this season for some teams. And as the year's worn on, I've noticed that some of the students are doing something. Some of them are dressing like me. Some of them are saying that if they could spend an hour with any person, living or dead, they would choose (for some bizarre and inexplicable reason) me. Some want to be in pictures with me. And some even want to draw pictures of me--
I'm not quite sure why, but as Dakota put it while taping Friday, “(t)hose kids really like you, don't they”? They do. I don't know why, but they do. And in a life of increasing weirdness, it's a cool thing. In fact, one of the coaches mentioned that his team was quite excited when we re-scheduled the cancelled taping Friday because, and once again I'm quoting here, “they get to hang out with you”.
And I get to hang out with them.
I have no explanation for what's going on, but maybe it's just one of those things that doesn't need an explanation. I get along with teenagers and they, for whatever reason, get along with me. Maybe it's because I'm just a teenager myself on the inside, or that I treat them as I treat everyone else. I don't know. I guess I just do what I do, and what comes out is the end result.
Yes, my life is weird, but you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.
