I've discovered the way to get people to know you. Work in dining services and become the guy who serves pasta, then people will know you as "the pasta guy." There were so many people on the street, at the party, out and about... that recognize me as "the pasta guy." I don't know if that's good or bad, but it makes me think. People don't see more than a chef's jacket and a frying pan (or as in my Halloween costume's case, more than a diaper and a baby/belly tee). And now people will be coming in to work, with 'great' stories of how they saw me, the 'pasta guy,' at a party while they were 'totally drunk,' and how it was soooo cool to see the 'pasta guy' there. All of that is just superficial and small talk while we're waiting for the pasta to cook, but still - it makes me think. Is it good that people know me as 'the pasta guy?' Is that a good or bad stereotype? Or just a neutral stereotype? And will the fact they saw me in a diaper and a tiny girl's tee make them think I'm a 'stupid' guy? Or still the 'pasta guy' who's 'crazy?' Or maybe I'm now a 'weird,' 'gross,' 'scary,' 'hairy' pasta guy. Maybe I'm now known as Dennis? But no... even though I told them my name, I'm still 'the pasta guy' to them. What does that mean? I'll sit on that one for awhile.
Also, on a side note, I was reading some blog on Myspace, and read the latest one from Hawthorne Heights. At the end of it, it has links to donating to the family of a lost member of Bayside. Now I have a question. Don't you think that Hawthorne Heights, with all their current fame (and money), they could pay for pretty much everything that their "dear friends" have to go through? I'm trying to be their Myspace "friend" so I can ruin their financial prosperity contradiction's shit.
