I am gifted at blending myself into any given milieu-you've never seen such a typical California teenager as I was, nor such a dissolute and callous pre-med student-but somehow, despite my efforts, I am never able to blend myself in entirely and remain in some respects quite distinct from my surroundings, in the same way that a green chameleon remains a distinct entity from the green leaf upon which it sits, no matter how perfectly it has approximated the subtleties of the particular shade.
