They want to stand out while they're fitting in.</I><BR/><BR/>Ah, you've added yet another dimension..I sort of have no patience for those kind of people. Actually I kind of think of them as the people trying desperately to be different just to get some attention. Thanks for your comment..So, so true! <BR/><BR/>Also, about the town called Normal..I bet there were heaps of interesting people living there, trying not to live up to the town's moniker! ;~)danucalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512793897920160017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205791676899139307.post-74626347911896110272007-05-31T07:14:00.000-07:002007-05-31T07:14:00.000-07:00I so hear what you're saying here. I've always bee...I <I>so</I> hear what you're saying here. I've always been The Weird One, and honestly i've not had problems with that distinction. I'm okay with it to the point of pride.<BR/><BR/>There are some aspects of my life in which i would appreciate a bit more normalcy, but those are primarily things having to do with my health.<BR/><BR/>A lot of people try to walk a fine line: they want to fit in with their chosen crowd, but they want to be a unique snowflake in that crowd. They want to stand out while they're fitting in. It's contradictory and confusing, and i think i don't have the patience for that sort of balancing act. lol. Mad props to those who can actually pull that sort of thing off, i guess.<BR/><BR/>Amusing side note: I went to school in a town called Normal (there are a few towns with this name, the one i was in was located in IL). Neat little town, actually. But i wouldn't want to live there. ;DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205791676899139307.post-62456105931725791482007-05-30T17:04:00.000-07:002007-05-30T17:04:00.000-07:00yeah, your blog always makes me hungry celine! ow,...yeah, your blog always makes me hungry celine! ow, my stomach! ;~)<BR/><BR/>it's true everything sort of reverses itself as we struggle to push our way out of the crowds we once longed to be in..actually, maybe i should update my blog, because we all also know those people who only want to be different to get attention..in fact, i was that person at 14 years old! ahaha! but now i'm not so worried if people see me as random, it just means they don't know me yet. ;~Pdanucalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512793897920160017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205791676899139307.post-90522289746538209412007-05-30T12:04:00.000-07:002007-05-30T12:04:00.000-07:00weird is good, I agree!!! it's funny how our notio...weird is good, I agree!!! it's funny how our notion of it all changes as we age. like we want to fit in the mold during high school years, for example, and then we yearn to be different. yeah.

What a relief to be...Thanks for reading, Emilie!<BR/>Ha! What a relief to be able to slip out of normal drag everyday..And ditto on feeling when someone judges you as normal. It's like, "Great, glad I could make things easier for ya..But you still don't get it."<BR/><BR/>I've been slowly working up the courage to contact the people on my link list, one by one. Well, I actually can't stand those link pimps who add links to their own blogs, just to be added to other blogrolls, so I was hoping you wouldn't assume I was one of them. <BR/><BR/>I just like to support the blogs that make a great impression on me, and yours is one of them. I'm happy that you're okay with being listed in my blog!danucalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512793897920160017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205791676899139307.post-39883024918002429772007-05-30T07:17:00.000-07:002007-05-30T07:17:00.000-07:00hot damn! for real. i spent so many years being ...hot damn! for real. <BR/><BR/>i spent so many years being the weirdo and feeling on the outs and it was a strange space because i both did and did NOT want to get out of the weird box. now i'm generally comfortable in my weirdness. i can actually feel it when someone judges me as being pretty normal. it's like, "oh, you don't get it...i'm deeply weird." this happens most when i'm in "work drag" and it can be kind of fun, like sneaking in the backdoor of some forbidden establishment...but i always like to find a way back out!<BR/><BR/>i'm really enjoying your writing--thanks for posting on my blog, i'm really happy to have connected to yours!Emiliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02636815051862281991noreply@blogger.com
