Forums > Social Chat > Doc Lightning ? NYC

Ok, somehow in the last three weeks, I have seen someone call NYC "Doc" and me "NYC" at least four times in total. I will not name names and these were not all the work of a single person.



Allow me to point out some differences:



Me: Pediatrician NYC: High school science teacher

Under 30 Over 30 (sorry, dude )

Gay Not even remotely gay

Jewish Italian-and-something-or-other

Handsome um...oh...crap...did I say that? ;-)



Now we are both short geeky guys with short, dark hair who speak in American accents and love kids and science. I'll give you that much. And sometimes we get confused in person and that's understandable.



But come ON, people, our avatars don't even look that similar! I love NYC dearly with all my heart and soul and he's a fantastic guy (although I'll deny it if he ever asks), but we are not the same person.



Ok, rant over. I'm not really angry and more darkly amused but I felt it had to be pointed out.

Sanity is a highly overrated state of mind.
I'm normal ... it's everyone else that's crazy.

That's all you need to know.

Plus, you can easily tell the difference between us because Lightning went to COLLEGE in Palo Alto California, whereas I went to HIGH SCHOOL across the street in Palo Alto California but I actually left high school before he ever got to college so we weren't there at the same time and we never met in the midwest despite the fact that my mom lives there (and so does his I'd guess) even though the midwest is actually on the eastern half of the country but west of where we both are now despite the fact that I live on an island south of where he lives but he works south of where I work even though he works and lives generally in the same place (but we both drive to work which is rare for New Yorkers) and he works with kids and I work with kids but he works with only a few young kids whereas I work with larger groups of older kids because he's a doctor though I'm engaged to someone Scottish with a London accent who lives in Scotland but who's Scottish mother lives in London who will be a doctor and is the daughter of a pediatrician which is what Lightning does for a living which makes him completely irresistable to women which is ironic because he's not hispanic even though he lives in the Bronx and speaks Spanish and swims but was not the sponsor of the surf team which is what I did when I started teaching in Los Angeles which is a city that I don't think Lightning lived in which reminds me that despite the fact that I've lived in San Fransisco and The Village in New York I'm the straight one.

Oh nice. I drive through your neighborhood screaming curses at 7 in the morning looking for the madison avenue bridge whenever there is an accident on the FDR drive. I'll give a shout out the next time I do.
