"i'm really into efficiency. i once befriended a foreign exchange student solely based on the fact that he looked like a highly efficient walker. i wanted to learn his technique so i could spend less time in transit; being efficient in inconsequential, mundane tasks can in actuality help you to extend your lifespan. not so much in terms of numerical age, but more in terms of being able to accomplish more living over a shorter period of time. for example, i plan to have lived the life of an eighty year old by the time i turn fifty.
my obsession with efficiency is part of the reason why i have a real disdain for fashion; it makes it much more difficult to apply efficiency in the way of building social relationships. i once befriended a quite stylish person only to realize that the clothes were all a facade, and that there was nothing beneath the surface that was even remotely interesting. but by then it was too late, and i was stuck with, in essence, a mannequin following me around for years. it's a very unfortunate thing when people aren't up front with you about how uninteresting they are."
