From: MadelineDear Click and Clack,
I am 15 and for a few years now my life goal has been to grow up to be eccentric. Now my mom says I am not yet old enough to be eccentric, and eccentricity is what comes with age. Now I could wait fifty or so years to become eccentric, but life is so uncertain, I would be so disappointed if I never got to complete this goal. Now you seem to be very eccentric (and I mean that as a compliment), and I was wondering if there is any way to become eccentric faster.
