It's odd and also strangely relatable (to me, anyway; I knew a lot of weirdos back in college/high school/my twenties, and I was a lot of weirdos before I settled down a bit) - I kept starting to describe it above and then just giving up, but yes.
In a way I found Wiseau really sympathetic - in that he's absolutely determined to remake himself, to become like the people he half-understands and admires and to cut himself totally free of his past. He's also a colossal asshole - which isn't necessitated by the desire to remake himself etc., but seems to be definitely linked to it. And I totally bought the author (Greg Sestero)'s account of how he befriended Wiseau in the first place and why they stayed friends despite the weirdness, which - is complicated in a way, but also really simple and just a few short intuitive steps from normal.
Anyway, give it a read! I can send it to you if you want.
