Ah yes, I was totally a Brian. I still am, actually. It's impossible for people to like me for more than a couple hours at a time, and even then I have a maximum of a week for them to be thoroughly disgusted with me.
I keep thinking about Invader Zim trying really hard to be a human, shouting things like "I AM NORMAL". I often end up being completely silent and hope no one notices I'm there. But when I do that, people ignore me completely. I don't have a voice. People can walk right through me.
Remember the "Mr. Cellophane" song in Chicago? It's either being Brian or Mr. Cellophane.
