I don't want to be a laughingstock, but I am a creative type!

    R U a highly sensitive near-genius?

    You are a highly sensitive near-genius IF:

    -you are not successful, and are surrounded by idiots

    -you ARE successful, and are surrounded by idiots

    -the fluorescent lights hurt your eyes "more than most"

    -you have worked with animals

    -your hobby is a "project"

    -you ask strangers for permission to do shit

    If you answered yes to any or all of these: start a band. Better yet, make a solo album!
