Sometimes you see something or read something that you know immediately is going to change your life. Other times, it happens subversively and later you reflect upon it. This falls into the first category.
And, beads of knowledge from my MCAT "teacher": Aspartame (found in all your diet sodas and powdered beverages) degrades into formaldehyde at high temperatures (say, over 100*F). Formaldehyde, though, has a very low boiling point so it is normally boiled off by the time the beverage gets to your mouth. Formaldehyde has a boiling point of -21*C, in case you were wondering. Drink up!
So, of course he was totally boring and it was horribly anticlimactic. (Don't want to use his real name -- googling it only comes up with one site now and this page turns up on seach engines). Anyway, it's not surprising at all. People that build their own fame are boring. It's only people that gain fame by being exciting can keep that interest after you meet them face-to-face. But the fact that he is a campus celebrity did make it somewhat exciting. Being brushed off so quickly by his friends was somewhat disturbing but much less so for me than her, I believe.
No one outside of myself can understand what I'm talking about on this thing. And I don't really care.
