"He was going to hang his clothes to dry but he was short man." - Student

This is not a serious post. For heavier reading, see earlier posts. This is in fact a list of similarities between the lives of the infamous Robert Pattinson and me, a Peace Corps Rwanda volunteer.

Rob Patz and Penny We
1. We are known for and recognized by our pale skin.
2. We cannot go anywhere without being met by staring, pointing and sometimes shrieking. 3. This forces us to stay inside for hours at a time.
4. We are constantly approached by people we do not know.
5. We have problems with the opposite sex. Rob constantly has women asking him to bite them whereas I constantly have men asking for private English lessons.
6. Neither hats nor sunglasses do the trick: can’t disguise these faces.
7. Our careers are acting.
8. We have a new understanding of “freedom” since our entry into stardom/Peace Corps.
