I often fail miserably when I try to "flaunt my weirdness" since by the time I try hard, I actually get somebody interested in them. The worst time was when I was bragging about my pets to my ROTC instructors, they asked the whole class if they wanted to see my pythons when they talk about survival, and that's when I can show them off and teach about snakes. It was a unanimous vote and they said they'll try to get the principle's permission. This is a big move for the classmates who thought that snakes drink through their skin, or the instructors who thought piebalds were half albino. Now I just need more friendly snakes. Lol
I wish my family was as fascinated about them as my classmates. And my classmates have only seen them through electronic images. Huh.
