So, I took the plunge. Twice in one week.
Today I finally bought a hot dog (actually a hot sausage) from a street vendor. First time since coming to NYC. I figured I ought to do it at least once. Tips for visitors: don't bother with the hot sausage. It's not worth the extra $0.50.
Second, I went basically all out on my halloween costume. Those of you that know me know that when I do anything, I have to do it all out, or not do it at all. It's sometimes a blessing, but mostly a curse. It means I can't have mediocre quality things, or get a cheapie knock-off rolex, if I have a rolex, it has to be the real deal.
That being said, on most other things, I am patently above average. I am not exceptional, I am not the opposite. I am squarely above average (academically, athletically, test scores-wise, etc). Despite that, I feel like I've been able to accomplish some pretty cool things. At least it's good to know that sheer willpower or desire can make up for a lack of other things.
