Riding the bus to work every day I see certain characters over and over. There’s balding hoodie guy, old black veteran who likes Starbucks and who I think works at Costco guy, big knitting lady, and so on. I’m sure there are people who think of me as that nerdy white guy with a limp who often has a laptop.
Sometimes when I’m really bored I daydream about stuff around me being a futuristic city powered by techno-magic ether science. Once I imagined he was actually a badass special agent who fought off an attack. I can’t tell if his squeaky voice makes the character less or more awesome, but I’m leaning towards more.
