Hey Guys, I'm A Muppet!

[CensoredAlso]

It depends on the day. Sometimes I'm a little nervous and hold back (and always regret it later). Other days I'm really into sharing my knowledge and impressing people. Hehe!

It always depends on the day with me, too! And the people I'm with. But as the years go by, more and more of those days become ones where I share my knowledge with people. It's really fun to see their surprised looks sometimes, lol! And sharing your knowledge can always add lots of interesting things to the conversation!

Yeah I mean you always have that voice in your head saying "Oh no, just keep quiet, don't embarrass yourself." (I know I do!) But if you listen to that voice too much, you end up keeping all your gifts inside where no one can see them. And it's the world's loss as well as your own.

Well, I'm also one who picks his battles carefully and where to display ant knowledge that I may know. Somethings I feel it's not as important to do it than I'll just keep it to my self. But My knowledge is the whole reason I joined here in the first place. I had been reading on here for awhile an I had not joined here yet. And I noticed that a few people were stumped on a question that I happened to know the answer to (At least I'm pretty sure I did) So I joined up here to try to answer the question and they thank me for it!

When it comes to Muppet knowledge, I've found that sharing has only benefited me. I've made friends that otherwise would have permanently been "that one person," and earned fun nicknames that I otherwise never would have had (like "Cookie Davidson," the day I paired a Cookie Monster t-shirt with a Harley-Davidson jacket ). School projects that I've re-worked to incorporate the Muppets have almost always gone well, and for the one year that I was a teacher and my synagogue's religious school, several students dubbed me their "favorite teacher," I'm sure primarily because I had a habit of setting the curriculum aside to lecture on/clarify anything Muppet related that they could think to ask me.

I tend to be much more hesitant about spouting any non-Muppet knowledge, primarily because I've been marked as an "outsider" for being "too smart" for years, so I pretty much keep quiet until I know that people won't stare at me like I'm a freak of nature. Believe me, it's an entirely different stare from the "You are certifiably insane" stare that I get for spouting Muppet stuff. That one, at least, I know is accurate.

Man, we've been watching alot of Henson movies lately...

Okay you guys...today we watched another Henson movie....Labyrinth! Well, my teacher finally didn't get anything messed up about Jim's legacy and through the whole time we were watching the movie I kept my mouth shut.

We only saw the first few minutes of it(up until Sarah enters Labyrinth), so we'll probbably watch some more tomorrow.

Ooh! Great that you got to watch The Labyrinth today!

I very much agree that I have often found that when I let out knowledge that you really do have a tendency to make new friends!
