Amicable Weirdos
My husband and I will often pick a movie on NetFlix. He picks good ones that I would pass over. We watched Night Train to Lisbon the other night, and an Italian film Bread and Tulips a couple of weeks ago. Also Dean Spanley, which I'll write about elsewhere.
Anyway, in the description to Bread and Tulips, it says that the main character meets a group of amicable weirdos. We watched the movie based on that phrase, and we've been laughing about it since. What is an amicable weirdo? However, I didn't think any of the characters were weirdos. They were wonderfully human, which is the charm of the film.
I would like to be called an amicable (in the sense of friendly) weirdo. I am odd; I own that, but I've met very few people who aren't odd. I am reading the Carnegie Mellon Online Learning Initiative class in Statistical Reasoning (for a data analysis class I am taking this summer) and learning about the null hypothesis. My null hypothesis is that everyone is odd in their own way, and I haven't reached a signficance level of .05 to make me reject the null hypothesis! Odd can be good.
