I don't believe I know normal anymore

posted by [identity profile] anniemal.livejournal.com at 10:15am on 2004-06-25
My mate often agrees with the tenets of my arguments with the passive, squalid, normal world, and explains that I'm not normal. Everyone, my whole life, has told me how not normal I am. I do not find my brain abnormal either. I am used to it now. It mostly works. Not everyone likes how.

I do recognize that the rest of the General Public will find it odd. I do not think I'm better, necessarily; I just don't cave in to silly notions unless someone gives me a good reason. Is this superciliousness? Or am I truly obtuse?

Being a fairly agreeable multi helps. I'm down to 5 or so. We are mostly managed. Living in one's own brain can be a bit strange. We have the differences of perception and opinion. We try to stick to one administrator. She's cool mostly. We get along. Mostly. We try to smile and pass. it's not really complicated, if you're built that way. The hard part is just saying so and dealing.

Were we somehow separated at birth? Exactly what I'd have written about myself.

Again, ditto.
No, you are NOT obtuse. I'd venture to say that it is your lack of obtuseness that makes you appear to be odd. Nor are you supercilious.
[For definition of THAT word, look in dictionary under:
wizworm = epitome of....]

One of the (many) twisty places in my mind finds it beyond humorous how much you and I are alike in some ways. Why? Just thinking about the owner of this journal.... :-)

"Been wrong so long it looks like right to me." I think he was referring to exactly this phenomenon. :)

what's odd is I just hit your page (as opposed to just my friends page) because I realized I hadn't seen a qotd from you for a few days (I keep falling way behind on my friends page), so I thought I'd catch up and see what you'd quoted of late.

Eclecticism

posted by (anonymous) at 10:48pm on 2004-06-26
Thats what makes someone attractive, and interesting, and a great friend/companion. Someone who carries with them odd, strange, different and lovably querkie qualities that no one else has. It's a combination of your likes, dislikes, interests, hobbies, how you carry yourself and who you keep company with that makes a person eclectic. Ordinary and normal should be scratched from the dictionary. Eclectic is so much more attrictive.
