I like what you said about one friend asking the other to "Change the subject" if they are going to talk about Brian behind his back. That friend could also politely tell the rest of the group "Hey do you know that your comments are going to get back to Brian one day? If he heard you talking like that he would be very hurt." Being a part of this group means so much to Brian and you are being ungrateful."

Ah yes, I was totally a Brian. I still am, actually. It's impossible for people to like me for more than a couple hours at a time, and even then I have a maximum of a week for them to be thoroughly disgusted with me.

I keep thinking about Invader Zim trying really hard to be a human, shouting things like "I AM NORMAL". I often end up being completely silent and hope no one notices I'm there. But when I do that, people ignore me completely. I don't have a voice. People can walk right through me.

Remember the "Mr. Cellophane" song in Chicago? It's either being Brian or Mr. Cellophane.
