LOL, I seriously don't think you have much to worry about wrt entomology being flooded by boring people! It's unlikely to be flooded by people, period.

Frankly, a not-all-there girl who doesn't have any real interests other than bugs and playing pac-man sounds fascinatingly weird, even if she's not much fun to hang out with. Definitely a far cry from frat kids at the Meetrack!

You know, you could be right. She might have a deeper, morbid side or something. Going to investigate further.

Being absorbed in your work and enjoying a vintage video game != boring.

No, it's not, if the person gets excited about those things. Which she does, because I've talked to her since then. /She/ thinks she's boring, but that's irrelevant.

I think the reason that people assume she's boring is because she doesn't have very much to talk about, doesn't have a massive amount of interests. But what she is interested in, she's very interested in. She's not boring, just simple. Simple != boring.

I've asked her to come talk to me what she's been thinking about whenever she likes. Probably just socially inept, is all.

Find the wall.  Show it to her.

That has apparently been fixed.

And I'm not around to enjoy it. :(

That's awesome!

I'm kind of blaming you for Tucson, that night.  You know, the rule about you and I being in the same city...Tucson was just taking steps to protect itself.
